RC-Project 1/8th off-road shock standoffs

RC-Project from Italy have announced the release of their all-new shock standoffs for 1/8th off-road buggies. Machined from high-quality 7075-T6 Ergal material the standoff bushings are of a specific design and geometry that greatly improves parts life of bushing and standoff over common designs. In addition a hard-coated surface and teflon treatment reduces friction between the bushing and standoff, allowing for a parts life of about 30 to 35 litres without replacing the standoff or bushing. The standoffs are available as 0 offset or +5 offset variants, separately or as Pro Driver package including Grade 5 6Al4V Titanium rolled thread screws for Team Associated, HB Racing, Mugen and SWorkz kits.

PR Racing V3FM-R Evo & SB401-R lightweight bodies

PR Racing have introduced new lightweight body shells for the V3FM-R Evo 2WD and SB401-R 4WD buggies. Moulded from high-quality 0.5mm Lexan polycarbonate material the shells are substantially lighter than their standard counter parts for an overall lower centre of gravity and thus less body roll and swifter cornering in high grip track conditions. The bodies come clear, including window masks and decal sheets.

BMT 016GT Evo rear end conversion kit

Italian brand BMT have introduced their new Evo rear end conversion kit for the 016GT 1/8th GT car. The set does away with the standard pivot ball upper arm in favour of a system similar to 1/8th on-road kits, using a separate turnbuckle. The new geometry will make for increased dynamic caster values and thus smoother cornering mid corner, improved steering and less front tyre wear. The assembly is also lighter which optimises the car’s weight balance. The set includes the updated rear hubs, upper links as well as bulkhead covers and adjustable carbon fibre upper link mounts.
