Coming soon from German O.S. Engines distributor Graupner is the O.S. Speed B2103 S Special Edition engine. The .21 off-road power plant comes with a standard cooling head for improved heat dissipation, allowing to safely run the engine with a leaner carburettor setting which in turn further improves mileage. In addition and when run in higher ambient temperatures, the engine is easier to adjust and offers a more reliable performance.

Yokomo have announced the release of lightweight titanium outer hinge pins for the BD9 touring car. Made to replace the standard steel pins, the lightweight parts will reduce unsprung weight which can result in quicker steering response and faster lap times on high bite surfaces. On lower grip track however they can reduce traction compared to the standard steel parts, meaning they are best used on ETS or CRC black carpet or when running very grippy handout tyres. The pins come as separate 2-piece sets for the front and the rear of the car.
Xray have introduced their new lightweight body shell for the XT2 stadium truck as well as extra strong rear wings for the same body. Starting with the lid, it is moulded from 0.75mm polycarbonate material for a low weight and thus a lower overall centre of gravity. Using the lightweight body will reduce body roll in high-grip track conditions for a more predictable handling and faster lap times. The body is usable with all of the truck’s possible rear shock layouts and it comes including window masks.
Another company to hit the market with a rather extreme 190mm touring car body shell is SRC Racing. Given the teaser images released on social media, the body will follow the latest trend of low-profile high-downforce shells with very pronounced cabins, long trunk lids and sculptured side sections. Full details about the body will become available in time for the release.

Coming from HRC Racing is the Perfect Scaler 80T brushed motor for crawlers and trail trucks. Its 80T specification allows for ultra slow movement and ultra fine throttle control, helping to tackle tricky sections with ease. The motor is of the standard 540 size and compatible with most 1/10th scale models. Highly efficient ceramic magnets and low resistance copper wires are standard as are slotted heatsinks for the replaceable brushes. The rebuildable motor comes including pre-soldered wires and Tamiya-style bullet-type connectors.
Mon-Tech Racing have released a first teaser image of their forthcoming D-Duck 190mm touring car body shell. Mon-Tech is first company to respond to the latest trend of super low centre of gravity 190mm touring car body shells as they were introduced by Zoo Racing last year. The D-Duck is understood to meet GBS rules – as do the Zoo Racing bodies – while offering a more extreme design compared to Mon-Tech’s ultra popular Racer body shell. Full information will become available in time for the release.

Mon-Tech Racing from Italy have introduced their new 20-piece set of pre-cut body post hole protectors. 0.30mm thick the self-adhesive rings are made to protect the body post holes of new or used body shells, ensuring longer life by reinforcing the highly stressed area. In addition the stickers also prevent the paint from becoming scratched, making the body look good for longer. Each pack contains 20 rings, enough to outfit five on-road body shells.
