Pitshark Design Hole Shot body hole markers

Pitshark Design introduce the Hole Shot body hole markers for 1/8th and 1/10th scale vehicles. Designed in collaboration with Toni Rheinard, the markers allow the precise mounting of painted and clear bodyshells with the help of rubber-protected body mount extensions and O-shaped magnets. The extensions are simply attached to the body posts and the magnets are used to locate the position of the body mounts for perfectly aligned body shells. The rubber material prevent the body from becoming scratched while the body post positions are easily marked with a permanent pen through the holes in the magnet.

Tresrey 210 series alloy suspension parts

Japanese option parts company Tresrey introduce new aluminium option parts for Team Durango’s 210 series 2WD off-road vehicles in the form of C-hubs and rear suspension mounts. Starting with the C-hubs, the parts are CNC-machined and do away with the need to use the original caster inserts as they sport a fixed 0 degree angle. This makes for more a more accurately fitting part and makes for less maintenance work. The parts fit on all 210 series buggies and trucks. Also new are aluminium RF and RR front and rear suspension mounts for the rear end of the DEX210 chassis. The standard RF part has a 0 degree kick-up setting while the RR block is of a new low roll centre design with 3 degree toe-in. Both parts combined give 2 degree of kick-up for a lowered roll centre. The suspension block replace the standard plastic parts for added rigidity and durability. All parts come red anodized in ‘Tresrey red’ and are available from late July.
