RC-Project have introduced this line-up of cylindrical weights in 5g, 10g, 15g, 20g and 25g. The weights are CNC machined from a special brass alloy and subsequently coated in black PVD making the weight more durable. Each weight features an M3 thread allowing it to be mounted easily to the chassis.

RC-Project have released three new items for the SWorkz S35-4 starting with this 15g front/rear weight. Made of black PVD coated brass, it fits perfectly without touching any other components and leaves the necessary space to prevent binding in the chassis. Thanks to its twin holes it can be mounted on the rear / front of the car. Next up are two different sets of delrin bushings for the brake cams and for in the Ackerman plate. The bushings offer tight tolerances to ensure a perfect coupling, eliminating play while reducing maintenance and eliminating the problem of unpleasant bearing failures.
Developed together with the Sworkz Team, RC-Project have produced these steering arm levers for the S35 family of cars. The new plates have been machined from Ergal 7075 T6 and black anodised. They sport 3 different holes mounting holes labelled ‘S’ Soft to be used in high grip conditions, ‘M’ Medium to be used as starting position and ‘A’ Aggressive for use on slippery tracks.

The new ‘The Ring’ muffler support from RC-Project is made in Ergal 7075 T6 in Italy and can be mounted on all 1/10 and 1/8 Nitro models and is available in 6 different colours. The muffler support will allow you to have 2 different configurations, fixed or mobile. In fixed mode, in addition to the central fixture of the muffler, 2 additional M3 setscrews can be added to secure the muffler fixing with the spring and avoid unpleasant problems due to the setscrew coming loose and the muffler coming away from the spring. In mobile mode it will be possible to eliminate the central fixture of the muffler and leave only the 2 setscrews. In this mode the muffler will have the freedom to be able to move inside the support, which will help the free movement of it according to the bending of the chassis. Inside the space between the muffler and the support you can insert O-rings or a silicone tube to dampen the movement. The spring made of harmonic steel, has a length that adapts to all models and it can be shortened and bent according to your needs.

Similar in design to the recently release ONG RC8B3.2 shock caps, RC Project have released shock caps for the Sworkz S35-4 & S35-3 and also for the HB Racing D819RS, D819 & D817. The 6 upper machined pockets on the cap have a dual purpose, reducing the weight of the cap, making it the lightest on the market as well as helping with heat dissipation. The 3 bleed holes coupled to the new membranes will allow a rebound close to 0 and a homogeneous response between the shock absorbers once closed. For the HB specific shock caps, the new geometry allows a front droop up to 107 mm in order to adapt the set-up according to the type of track with the caps mounting on the shock tower without any modification. Both kits include 12 membranes with 3 different hardnesses that will allow you to vary the behaviour of the shock absorber based on the track, the driving style and temperature.
Current 1/8th Offroad World Champion Davide Ongaro has announced the creation of his own brand, together with Italian RC-Project, called ONG. Set to create a line up of option parts, the first of which will be released soon, the Italian had the following to say, ‘I am very happy to announce the birth of the ONG brand today. Together with Stefano of RC-Project, we have designed and developed a line of option parts that comes from my experience in international races and from his ability to transform the best ideas into excellent products for our rc cars.’

In addition, the 25 percent larger contact surface and black surface coating ensures better and faster heat dissipation. The engine mount weighs in at 32g and it sports a white laser-engraved RC-Project logo.
