Team Corally has introduced a new entrant into the 1:8 On-road electric pan car category with the SSX-823 Competition pan car platform. It is the latest evolution of the SSX-8X design, which holds multiple national and international titles. Every component of the SSX-823 has been scrutinised and re-evaluated by Corally. Testing has led to this specific design of the SSX-823, where weight savings have been prioritised, a revised chassis flex system improves handling, and enhanced drivetrain components have been used to better distribute available motor power. All components of the SSX-823 are manufactured from the highest quality composite nylon, carbon fibre, aluminium, and various metals for an extreme level of precision and consistency.
PSM has developed a centre diff. brace for the TLR 8IGHT X/E 2.0 kit. Made from 3.0mm genuine PSM carbon fibre, the design provides additional rigidity to the whole centre differential unit – compared to the stock plastic part – and adds that factory look as well. To highlight the German origin of the parts, they have recessed a thin silver coloured brass emblem with the PSM logo in the middle of the part. In addition to that, this set includes hardware for routing your power wires below the front differential outdrive which helps to get the weight of the wires down to the lowest point of the vehicle and also give a super clean look.

Avid Racing Concepts has introduced new machined 13mm pistons for the new Team Associated’s 13mm shocks in two, 2.0mm and 2.5mm, thickness. They offer a conventional setup but with a perfectly machined round piston and square 90° edges for a tight-fitting piston that has little blow-by creating more pack on jumps. The AE piston has a slightly rounded outer edge and the holes are chamfered which results in harder landings. Over the years Avid have developed a process of keeping all the edges sharp with little to no burrs to keep your confidence high when landing big jumps. The 2.0mm thickness allows the piston to be smoother in bumps but at the cost of bottoming out on big jumps, for those use our 2.5mm thick pistons. Each piston a single dimple if you want to add a small 1.0mm bleeder hole to give the car more bite on slow corners (Blank pistons include 4 dimples.). Each package includes 2 pistons inside a Doodad container printed with AVID logo.
