Following the introduction of aluminium spool outdrives, T-Works now also release a set of lightweight differential outdrive cups. The parts are machined from high-quality 7075-T6 aluminium and the hard-coated surface treatment ensures great durability while the alloy material lowers rotational masses for quicker spool-up and acceleration. The cups come as pairs and they are a direct fit.

T-Works have introduced new aluminium wheel hubs for the Team Associated RC8B3 series of buggies. Machined from aircraft-grade 7075-T6 aluminium and coming black anodised for wear and looks, the wheel hubs are available in standard, +1mm or +2mm offset configurations, allowing to adjust track and overall width easily. The standard offset hubs come as 4-piece sets while the +1mm and +2mm kits include a pair of hubs with the letter two sporting laser-etched markings for easy identification. The wheel hubs fit all RC8B3 and B3.1 buggies.

Coming from T-Works and made for the Team Associated RC8B3.1 is a graphite centre gearbox plate. Designed to replace the standard aluminium part, the plate will add looks and functionality and it comes including two metal bushings for a smooth support of the brake cams.

Coming from T-Works and made for Kyosho’s Inferno MP10 and older MP9 buggies are several aluminium centre driveshafts that were developed to reduce the drivetrain’s rotational masses. The MP10-specific set includes 117mm and 85mm alloy dogbones while the MP9 TKI4/3 and MP9E compatible set comes with 115mm and 87mm long variants. Last but not least is a set specific to the MP9E Evo with 149mm and 56mm long driveshafts. All all made of high-quality 7075-T6 aluminium, they come with a black, hard-anodised surface for wear and also include high-quality outdrives. All dogbone driveshafts are also available separately for spares or repair.
Coming from T-Works and made for the Xray XB8’19 buggy are a titanium turnbuckle as well as two screw sets. Starting with the turnbuckle set, the 7-piece kit is made of high-quality 64 grade material and it replaces the standard spring steel turnbuckles with lighter and more shiny items. Included with the turnbuckles come two suitable 4mm and 5mm wrenches. As for the screw sets, T-Works have released a 149-piece UFO head titanium and a 149-piece gold-colour steel screw kit. The latter will mainly add bling while the titanium set makes for more visual impact, a lower weight and higher corrosion resistance compared to the original steel fasteners.
T-Works have introduced new carbon fire option parts for the Kyosho Inferno MP10 buggy in the form of a radio plate and an upper plate. Both are cut from high-quality carbon fibre and they replace the standard alloy items. While adding a factory touch the parts also offer slightly different flex characteristics compared to the standard alloy items, allowing to adjust overall chassis flex.
T-Works have released first option parts for Kyosho’s all-new MP10 1/8th off-road buggy. The range includes a 26-piece hard-coated aluminium pivot ball set, a titanium turnbuckle set as well as two screw kits, a 149-piece titanium UFO head set as well as a 160-piece gold-plated steel screw set. The pivot ball will greatly reduce the overall weight and unsprung mass of the suspension while the titanium items will scrub weight and add corrosion resistance. The gold-plated screw set will do nothing in terms of weight but add a lot of visual impact. Last but not least is a 10-piece set of stainless steel 0.1mm and 0.5mm thin 4.5x10mm shims that can be used to reduce axial play in various places.
