SMJ have introduced a wireless charger set for the Sanwa M17 transmitter. The charger was designed to simply place the radio on top of it, allowing to charger its batteries without removing them from the transmitter. The charger bay is also usable for smartphones with wireless charging capabilities. Not includes in the set is the needed AC adapter.
Coming from SMJ are their new Ultra joint lubricant and grease, two chemicals developed to reduce drivetrain wear. First up is the Ultra joint lubricant, a lower viscosity oil for all metal-to-metal combinations such as driveshafts and outdrives. The lube greatly reduces wear to cross pins, couplers, driveshafts and wheel axles and thanks to its low viscosity it still sticks perfectly to the parts, offering a free drivetrain feeling and improved drivetrain efficiency. Also new is the Ultra joint grease, a heavy duty product for driveshafts, cup joints and thrust bearings whose high viscosity allows for high adhesion and less chance of flinging away even under high loads or high RPM. Both products were developed in cooperation with full-scale car tuning brand G-max and they are available now.
Japanese brand Speedmaster Japan have introduced their new progressive T2.5-2.8 1/10th electric touring car spring as well as a range of accessories. Starting with the spring, the T2.5-2.8 adds to SMJ’s existing Stealth line of springs and it is made of 1.4mm diameter wire. The total length is 20mm meaning it can be used with most of today’s ultra short shock absorbers.
Coming from SMJ is a set of wing end plates for 1/10th nitro touring cars. The pre-cut plates comply with all major race regulations and they are made of 0.8mm high-quality polycarbonate. With their black colour they match most body shell designs and they come in 4-piece sets.

Coming from SMJ are the new Masayuki Miura optimised 21XB2 Power and Eco Spec engines. The long-stroke engines offer a wide power range and high torque values with the Power Spec variant being ideal for high speed off-road tracks and 1/8th GT cars while the Eco Spec power plant is best suited for low-grip or bumpy tracks. Also the Power variant makes use of a 7mm venturi carburettor while the Eco relies on a 6mm variant. Both come with a DLC-coated and tungsten-balanced crankshaft, they feature ceramic rear bearings and come pre broken-in and with a new-style low-profile cooling head.
SMJ have introduced their new Stealthline springs for 1/10th electric touring cars. Softer than the current Silverline springs the 20mm offerings are ideal for all cars with low-profile shocks and they offer a less rigid suspension feel while ensuring exceptional traction and corner speed. They are available as separate pairs in 2.7, 2.9 and 3.1 hardness and also as complete 3-pair set.
SMJ have introduced new 2-speed transmission and clutch springs for 1/10th nitro on-road cars. The 2-speed springs come in soft specification while the clutch spring is a super soft variant – ideal for sport class engines such as the lightly tuned O.S. Max 12TG. The springs are available separately and they fit most of today’s 1/10th scale 200mm nitro on-road kits.
SMJ have introduced new aluminium body height adjusters for 6mm body posts as well as pre-cut double-sided tape for electronic installation. Starting with the body height adjusters, the parts are machined from aluminium and are usable on all cars with 6mm diameter body posts. The adjusters allow to precisely adjust body height and rake and they are available in packs of four and in red or black colour.
