New from Exotek and made for the HB D413 1/10th scale 4WD off-road buggy are 10 degree C-hubs, 12mm front locking alloy hexes and high tolerance flanged bushings. Starting with the castor hubs, the heavy duty 7075 aluminium and precision machined parts weigh it at only 5.5 grams per piece and they are much stronger and stiffer than the stock plastic hubs, for optimum suspension action and reduced play. They come polished and anodised in factory orange. The hubs match the stock geometry and accommodate a, not included, set screw for the hinge pin.

Xceed have two new tools available in the form of a rim reamer for 1/8th on-road wheels as well as a 3-in-1 turnbuckle and ball cup wrench. Starting with the reamer, the tool is designed to slightly widen the wheel axle hole of 1/8th on-road wheels to make for a better fitment on the wheel axle and thus faster and more easy pitstops. The tool is made from high-quality springsteel and green anodised aluminium. Also new is the ball cup remover and turnbuckle wrench. Designed for the use with small ball cups as well as 3mm and 4mm turnbuckles the tool helps to easily pop-off ball cups from the ball joints while the stepped design of the turnbuckle portion does away with the need to carry different size tools. The wrench is made from laser-etched high-quality spring steel.
