New from Awesomatix comes the C04AL1+1.5 alloy suspension arm for all A700/A800/X/Evo cars. The A-arm was specially designed for racing at venues with hard boards like it is common at most US indoor tracks as the aluminium wishbone is more rigid compared to a carbon arm. The +1.5 arm is best used in the front and in combination with the C04AL1+0.5 arm in the rear.

Yeah Racing are currently working on a high-performance chassis conversion kit for the Tamiya M07 M-chassis. Featuring a lightweight carbon fibre double deck chassis design and an aluminium motor mount, the main aim of the conversion is giving better handling and more forward traction due to more weight in the front, all while scrubbing overall weight. The conversion kit is currently under development and should hit stores in the foreseeable future.

Made for the Axial SCX10 II trail truck are new stainless steel centre driveshaft sets from Yeah Racing.

T-Works have introduced a new 18mm/19mm anti-tweak block for the Xray T4 and Yokomo BD9 touring cars. Machined from aluminium and coming red, black or orange anodised the blocks help to build tweak-free front and rear bulkhead assemblies. With the lower bulkhead screws not fully tightened the block are inserted between the left and right bulkhead and while pressing the bulkhead halves against the block the screws will be tightened to ensure a fully parallel assembly that both counters uneven chassis tweak while ensuring less stress for the spool and differential bearings.
Exotek have released an ultra lightweight centre spool conversion set for the HB Racing D418 buggy. Using the kit reduces the drivetrain’s rotating mass for that extra boost in 13.5T and 17.5T spec racing as the completed spool set weighs only 23g with the spur gear. A machined 69T POM spur gear is included and bolts on to the lightweight alloy spool. The spool housing is also compatible with Exotek 66T, 69T and 72T Flite spur gears or standard 48p Kimbrough gears. The set requires the use of the stock diff cups, bearings, steel pins and large O-rings form the D418 centre diff.
