Yeah Racing have introduced an aluminium wheelie bar set with shock absorbers for Tamiya’s WR02 2WD off-road vehicle. The all-aluminium construction helps to pull more stable wheelies for a longer time as the shock absorber soaks up any imperfections of the track, both on-road and off-road. Rubber wheels securely keep the car on track while the choice of a single or dual damper setup allows to adapt the damping to the track conditions. The set fits the WR02, WR02G and GF01 chassis and it comes with all needed parts including the shock absorbers.

Hiro Factory have introduced the 2015 version of their HRF12X 1/12th scale pan car. Available as complete kit or conversion kit for existing HRF12X cars the 2015 spec kit features a redesigned main chassis plate made from US-made high-quality carbon fibre. It is meant to have optimised flex characteristics which is further helped by the new floating servo mount that makes for perfect chassis symmetry and improved left-to-right handling. The chassis also allows for several battery positions including a forth and back placement and a new side link position creates a 4WS effect for more agile handling if needed. Included with the kit also come several 7075 aluminium parts including the front bulkhead, upper arm mount, turnbuckles, damper mount, motor mount and hubs. The kit is rounded out by a large volume, hard-coated aluminium centre shock absorber.

Coming soon from LRP are the Outlaw Car Line high-voltage hardcase LiPo battery packs. Thanks to the new HDS-X high density stacking technology the packs have a nominal voltage of 7.6V compared to the standard 7.4V of current 2S batteries. To make maximum use of the added voltage the batteries need to be charged to 8.70V using chargers with special charge programs or adjustable charge end voltage with the high-performance 110C/55C cells allowing for charge rates as high as 3C. Both the 8000mAh standard size and 4900mAh shorty battery do not comply with the current rules of governing bodies such as IFMAR, EFRA, ROAR and others so they are banned from competition use but they can be run in outlaw classes or in your favourite bashing vehicle.
