The 14-pieces set includes ten 5x10x4mm, two 10x15x4mm and two 6x13x5mm ball bearings whose ceramic construction makes for very low drag and thus improved acceleration, top speed and run times while the red seals ensure exceptional protection against the elements.

Exotek have released a range of titanium driveshaft accessories for the TLR 22 and Team Associated B6/B64 buggies. First up are lightweight Ti6 titanium rear axle shafts for the TLR 22 series of cars. Coming from Exotek’s Flite series of lightweight parts, the shafts are machined with a tighter tolerance for less bearing slop than the stock axles and about 50 percent weight saving compared to the stock steel axles. They are best suited for stock classes for reduced rotational mass and weight needed in the hot 17.5 classes as they are not suggested for modified use. The axles work with the stock or MIP bones.
Pro-Line have introduced the pre-cut Elite body shell for the Losi 5ive-B large scale race buggy. The body features an aggressive cab-forward design that drastically improves steering on the buggy so it can turn faster laps. The overall Elite body styling is based on Pro-Line’s latest 1/10th scale buggy race bodies, which look great and give enhanced performance. The body comes pre-cut to save tons of time and the front of the body tucks behind the side guards to increase durability over the stock body. Large optional vent holes are designed into the body to provide extra cooling and the rear fin adds side stability in high speed corners. 2 optional nose pieces are included: standard and front wing style.
Made for TLR’s 22 4.0 SR 2WD buggy is an ultra lightweight carbon fibre front shock tower from 175RC. All new and designed specifically for the TLR 22 4.0 SR, the 4mm 2-hole shock stay is nearly three grams lighter than the stock tower while still being strong enough to survive competitive racing. Included come 1mm spacers for the shock standoffs.
Coming from Team Losi Racing are new heavy duty carbon fibre shock towers for the 8ight 4.0 nitro and 8ight-E 4.0 E-buggy as well as the 8ight-T 4.0 nitro truck. The buggy front shock stay is machined from thick 5mm carbon fibre while the buggy rear tower and the two truck-specific items are cut from 4mm carbon fibre. They save about seven to 14 grams of weight compared to the stock parts and the buggy rear and truck front tower also offer additional tuning options for use on different track surfaces. The buggy-specific parts are usable on both the 8ight 4.0 and 8ight-E 4.0 while the truck parts are exclusive to the 8ight-T 4.0.

Coming from RC Speed Secrets and available for the 12mm 1/10th scale big bore shocks of Team Associated and Team Losi Racing are the Next Level 3×1.4+1.0 tapered Cheater shock pistons. The pistons are CNC-machined from high-quality material for a perfect fit, offer three larger 1.4mm and one smaller 1.0mm hole and their tapered shape allows for faster action than a standard flat piston, making it a “tweener tuning option” between the feel of the Flat 1.5 and 1.4 Cheater pistons. The parts are available for the 12mm big bore shocks of AE and TLR and they come in sets of two.

TLR have introduced the 4.0 version of their successful 22T 1/10th 2WD stadium truck. It features some drastic improvements including a mid-motor laydown transmission, a reversible rear shock tower for forward and rear shock mounting as well as a new body shell that supports the new rear shock tower option. As for the new gearbox configuration, the laydown design shifts the motor forward by 20mm which results in a truck that stays much flatter and drives more consistent while the included HDS slipper makes for more consistent drivetrain performance. On the suspension side of things the 4.0 relies on aluminium plate rear hubs for easy roll centre adjustments, while the new rear shock tower allows to run the shock in front of the rear A-arms on higher grip surfaces while the rear position is better on lower grip tracks. Other features include a 7075-T6 aluminium chassis, transverse battery mounting, adjustable toe and anti-squat, as well as a fully updated ball differential. The kit is rounded out by a new motor fan mount and a new body shell.
