Coming from Schumacher and made for the Cat L1 1/10th 4WD buggy is a carbon fibre HD top deck flex system conversion. The flex system is lightweight and it has increased structural rigidity front to back but retains its flex in twist. It will improve the cars responsiveness in steering feel, and will help on tracks with large jumps. The multi-piece top deck is machined from carbon fibre and comes with suitable mounting hardware.

The latest addition to Arrowmax’s Arrowspace series of magnesium main chassis plates are extra flex and stiff variants for the Infinity IF14 touring car. About 40 percent lighter and offering greater noise-reducing capabilities than standard aluminium, the chassis also make for different flex characteristics with the extra flex and stiff variant allowing for even greater control over the overall chassis flex. Both chassis feature a white ceramic coating for longer lasting performance.

Mugen have introduced new front and rear carbon fibre shock towers for the MBX8T nitro and MBX8T Eco E-truggy kits.

The front and rear tower are available separately.

The black-coated parts sport white T-Works logos and they come in pairs.
