Losi have introduced their new Super Rock Rey 1/6th scale 4WD RTR AVC rock racer. The buggy takes its inspiration from full-scale rigs that tackle the King of Hammers and similar places others won’t dare go. Realistic solid axle performance joins 8S brushless power that pushes the needle to 50+ mph or more — while the stability of AVC technology let drivers hold nothing back through corners and jumps. The large tyres and new front end geometry increase suspension travel and improve performance over any terrain. The buggy is equipped with a 4mm aluminium chassis with injection-moulded roll cage and it comes pre-assembled and including a 750kV brushless motor and 160A speed controller. A multi-piece body shell in two designs and grippy all-terrain tires round out the package.

Coming from T-Works are four new lightweight bearing kits for vehicles such as the Xray GTX, Kyosho Inferno GT3, HB Racing RGT8 and Mugen MBX8 Eco. All use 8x14mm rubber-sealed bearings to replace the standard kit bearings for lighter ones. Using the lightweight bearings kits will reduce the unsprung masses for a more nimble handling and a lower overall weight. Also included in the sets are lightweight reducer bushings.

New from Rudebits in the UK, is this storage LiPo sack that carries 6 batteries for safe keeping. It can also be used for charging but it has been primarily made to safely transport or storing in vehicles, workshops and houses instead of throwing them into their existing boxes. Made of double layer laminated aluminium foil backed with fibreglass cloth layer, it is fireproof inside and out. Machine stitched and acid resistant it can withstand continuous temperatures of 800 degrees.
Coming from Blaze Racing is the Quad-link conversion for CRC 1/12th scale pan cars. Taking the read pod design of the larger Pro10 cars, the plug and play conversion uses two addition, smaller, links to replace the typical pivot ball. The construction is bind-free and allows to fine-tune the rear suspension geometry – something less common in 1/12th scale racing. In addition it optimises the rear roll centre for increased rear traction without sacrificing front end grip. The conversion consists of 7075 aluminium components and 3mm carbon parts, steel ball studs and composite links and it is usable on cars such as the CRC CK25.
Infinity has introduced two new optional parts for its IF18 World Championship and Euro Nitro Series title winning 1/8th on-road nitro car. The first of the new releases is a Front Upper Suspension Shaft Set with a 3mm stopper. This not only improves strength and reliability during long finals but it also helps speed up maintenance time. The shaft itself is heat-treated high-strength spec with a polished finish.
JConcepts have introduced their new mock beadlock rings for the Tribute monster truck wheels. The injection moulded, 4-piece set includes details found on today’s monster trucks and can be easily adapted to existing JConcepts Tribute wheels at a low-cost. The simple part can be pressed on the outside, inner diameter shape of the wheel and left for visual purposes or light racing and track running. Racers who plan to perform heavy running, freestyle or bashing might want to opt for some flexible, adhesive goo for attachment and a more secure fit. The great part about the Tribute mock beadlocks, whether you press it in or use adhesive goo, the driver can always remove them, go for another colour combo or clean them separately from the tyre and wheel assembly. The rings are available in a variety of colours including blue, black, white, pink, green, orange, red, and silver.
