RC Speed Secrets have introduced two new optional parts for the Tekno EB410 buggy in the form of finned titanium turnbuckles and deep socket head titanium diff screws. Starting with the turnbuckles, they are made from top-quality grade 5 titanium and offer a finned design for looks and weight reduction. The 6-piece set is available in RCSS’ special Bada Bling oil-slick or Stealth Black finish. Also new is a 4-piece set of titanium deep socket head differential screws for the EB410. Machined from lightweight grade 5 titanium the screws, used throughout the buggy’s three differentials, will reduce rotational mass and overall weight for improved car performance. Available in Bada Bling oil-slick or Stealth Black finish, they also add visual impact while building, maintaining or tuning the diffs. Three packs of screws are needed to equip a buggy.
The ECX 1/12 Barrage Gen2 4WD 1.55 Scaler crawler is built to tackle the most terrifying of terrain. This version builds upon the original Barrage scaler’s reputation with exclusive features. Perfect for entry level drivers looking to move into the growing scaler movement, this crawler can take on all challenges no matter the driver’s skill level. It uses a 1.55” wheel and licensed Falken Wildpeak M/T tyre/wheel combo, significantly refining the look of the body to wheel proportion. The Gen2 has axle housings that no longer require the wide wheel hex extensions. This strengthens the axles and provides more consistent steering. Larger servo mount and steering links allow for bigger servos while the Dynamite Tazer 390 size motor runs cooler and with more torque. A true 4-link suspension with improved articulation and strength is a substantial upgrade. From the brand known for its rugged durability, this scaler is a great introduction to extreme driving through any ruthless environment including rocks, woods, mud and the neighbourhood creek.

Nemo Racing have introduced the new Beta 34mm 4-shoe aluminium clutch system. The design and materials utilised in this new clutch make for a very durable assembly whilst also offering the exceptional traction levels and low fuel consumption on all surfaces. The clutch uses a more convention spring design for ease of assembly and reliability, but the spring is a through shoe design, meaning less filing of clutch shoes and more racing. The clutch shoes are made of 7075 aluminium, meaning it has the best balance between durability, traction and drivability. The 34mm flywheel also uses 7075 aluminium allowing for a lightweight and strong design, with steel flywheel pins offering the best durability and strength. The 4-shoe clutch is simple to assemble and adjust, with the two different thickness spring coming in the package, both of which colour coded for easy recognition. The clutch comes supplied with a clutch nut and collet.

Coming from Revolution Design Racing Products and made for the Yokomo YZ-4 SF are rear brass chassis weights. Both are machined from high-quality brass material and they come with a black surface coating to protect them from the elements while adding that factory look. The larger piece adds nearly 30g of weight to the rear end of the buggy while the smaller weight adds 15g of weight to a more central part of the buggy for an optimised weight bias and added rear traction in low-grip track conditions. The weights attach using existing mounting positions for quick tuning and secure fastening and they are available separately.
Coming from Fenix Racing are new carbon fibre chassis parts for the Yokomo BD8-2018 and 2017 as well as the Shepherd Velox F1. Starting with the Yokomo chassis, the part sports the same shape as the recently introduced aluminium chassis with the updated front design reducing chassis scrub during hard cornering. The 2.2mm thick chassis fits both the 2018 and 2017 kits. Also new and usable with all chassis variants is a 2.1mm upper deck. As for the Shepherd F1 chassis, the main plate is significantly slimmer, with the Fenix part measuring 89.5mm at the widest point while the original is 113mm. The more narrow design reduces chassis scrub and thus loss of speed during cornering. All of the above products are available now.
HB Racing have introduced the latest incarnation of their E817 1/8th E-Buggy platform, the E817 V2. The kit features several updates such as a narrow rear shock tower with revised shock length that offers a wider shock adjustment range while machined aluminium 17.5 degrees front caster blocks have been updated for extra strength. New aluminium steering linkage spacers replace the plastic spacers for improved bumpsteer geometry, more precise adjustment, less flex, and the designers have revised the screw lengths to accommodate the new spacers. Other updates include universal drive shafts, increased clearance ball end links, and updated body mounts. Also included is a clear JConcepts Silencer buggy body and a new moulded nylon rear wing that is lightweight yet more durable than polycarbonate wings.
