Penguin Custom Bodyshells distributor Schumacher has introduced the new King Penguin rear wing for 1/10th scale off-road vehicles. Overall slightly smaller than the Penguin Emperor wing, having raised ridges either side to add durability and stability on the straights, it also has a flat profile across most its length to aid in down force while featuring trim lines on the gurney to enable the driver to tune for different surfaces easily. The body comes moulded from clear high-quality polycarbonate and it is usable for most of today‘s 1/10th off-road buggies.

Available now from Schumacher and made for the Cat L1 Evo buggy are an aluminium diff set as well as a diff conversion kit. The included aluminium diff case ensures improved precision and strength and it has a larger oil volume for more consistency during a run. In addition the main large shim also thicker for more reliability. The kit builds a complete diff with all parts necessary included and Schumacher also offers a conversion kit that uses existing diff parts from the buggy.
X-Factory UK have introduced their new Sensor Protektorz chassis decals for the Team Associated B6.1 or 6.2, the TLR 22 5.0 series, Schumacher Cougar Laydown, Xray XB2 2018 to 2020 and the Yokomo YZ2 DTM and CAL. The stickers protect the motor sensor lead from damage and they are printed on durable, self-adhesive high-grade vinyl. They sport brand co-ordinated logos and schemes for that factory look and help to conceal the sensor lead in many of today’s leading 2WD buggies down the routed channel along the spine of the chassis. Each decal is die-cut to follow the machined recess’s and specific shape of the chassis and thus makes for a neat and tidy professional looking electrics install.

Coming from Hiro Seiko are several new lightweight screw sets for some of the latest 1/8th, 1/10th and 1/12th scale cars out there. Adding to Hiro Seiko’s already impressive range are a full titanium set for the Mugen MRX6X, mixed black alloy and natural titanium sets for the Schumacher Eclipse 3, Serpent X20 Medius, and Awesomatix A800FX, as well as a mixed orange aluminium and natural titanium set for the new Xray T4’21 and a mixed red alloy and natural titanium set for the Infinity IF14-II.

Coming from Klinik RC and made for Schumacher’s current Cougar 2WD and Cat 4WD buggies are precision-machined shock pistons. Designed to fit and perform they fit the shock bodies extremely well and have precise dimensions to ensure 100 percent consistency and accuracy. The pistons are precision-machined from genuine Dupont Teflon and they have the hole sizes machined into the top for easy identification. Attached much more secure than the stock pistons, the stock countersunk screw fits the top perfectly, doing away with loose or lost screws in the middle of a run. The pistons come in sets of two and in the most popular 2-hole and 3-hole setups.
