New from Spec-R comes a heavy duty gear differential set of the Tamiya M-05 and M-06 kits. Using a lightweight yet sturdy plastic diff housing, nylon gears and longlife differential joints the diff requires less maintenance compared to the kit part while offering improved diff action at the same time. It also will be more consistent during a run even when using higher power motors. The diff comes without the needed fluid and it is only usable with 10x15x4mm bearings.

Spec-R have new option parts for the Yokomo BD7 and their own R2 electric touring car available. Starting with the Yokomo part, made for the BD7 2014 and 2015 Spec is a floating steering conversion kit. The set replaces the standard, chassis-mounted, steering assembly with a floating design to eliminate the influence of the chassis’ torsional flex on the steering behaviour. Included are a black anodised aluminium centre bracket that acts as the inner servo mount and also as a base for the upper steering plate that takes the steering bellcrank posts and the outer servo mount. With the the steering posts lifted from the chassis it can also flex more for an overall softer chassis feel.
