Pro-Line 1:8 Axis Wing

Pro-Line has added this new Axis Wing to their range of 1:8 Buggy products. Tested extensively by Pro-line’s Factory Team drivers, the Axis wing provides increased forward traction, high-speed stability, and jumping consistency. It includes an add-on wicker-bill that allows you to tune the performance of the wing to your liking along with pre-marked dimples across the rear of the wing, for drilling holes to combat windy conditions and reduce drag. IFMAR-spec endplates provide the ideal side bite in loose conditions. Mounting the wing is made easy with markings for 40mm and 48mm wing mount widths and 5 fore/aft positions. Made in the USA, the Axis wing is available in white or black.

RC Maker have added this new 3D Pro Carbon Car Stacker to their extensive range of pit table accessories.

RC Maker Awesomatix Damper Piston Height Set Tools

RC Maker has produced this new Damper Piston Height Tool to help make building your Awesomatix D2.2 Dampers a breeze! When assembling the dampers, it’s important to ensure the P63 piston is at the correct height throughout the build and upon completion. Traditionally you would need to keep checking and pushing the piston back down throughout the build. That’s where these handy tools come in! They screw down inside the damper shaft and touch the top of the P63 to correctly set the height. This way you can forget about needing to check it throughout the build. The tools can be screwed in and out with your fingers or a 2mm driver into the end.

PSM 8IGHT X/E 2.0 Shock Towers

German parts manufacturer PSM have released new carbon fibre shock towers for TLR’s recently released 8IGHT X/E 2.0. The German company’s R&D team has spent quite some track-time with the TLR latest 1:8 Offroad buggy since its release and during their tests they discovered that some adjustments could be made to further improve it’s performance. The result is these new front and rear shock towers, made from genuine PSM carbon fibre, which has been proven to be very durable and a great option to create more overall traction and steering capabilities. Due to the lightweight design and material, it will lower the centre of gravity of your vehicle. In addition to that, the refined suspension geometry results in stable and predictable vehicle handling combined with easier setup due to the removal of unnecessary linkage options.
