Shepherd V10 extra hard chassis plate

Shepherd have announced the release of the extra hard chassis plate for the Velox V10. This chassis plate is CNC-machined from the finest German 7075 T6 alloy and meets the highest quality standards. The material is super-strong and extra stiff which results in a more reactive car. The hard chassis plate features some additional mounting holes for the brass battery plate mounts, so it’s possible to use up to 5 brass mounts to reach the necessary minimum weight.

Xray NT1 Downstop Independent aluminium ARB

From Xray, the new aluminium front anti-roll bar for the NT1 allows you to independently adjust the anti-roll bar from the downstop, so that the downstop setting does not influence the performance of the anti-roll bar and vice versa. An added feature of this set is that you can also adjust the wheelbase. The anti-roll bar moves together with the front arm, and wheelbase adjustment shims can be added either in front of the anti-roll bar, to shorten the wheelbase, or behind the arm, to lengthen the wheelbase.

VIP Performance have released this new tuning motorpod base plate for the Corally 10SL. A direct bolt on replacement, it has been made from T6 aluminium, the material helping to dissipate heat with extra ribbing for better air cooling and a cooler motor means better performance. Expect this design to be made available for other vehicles too.

Smokem Racing DEX410R shock towers

Smokem Racing’s DEX410R carbon fiber shock towers are a direct replacement for the aluminium shock towers found on the Durango DEX410R. Aluminium parts can often bend on impact which can be hard to detect with the naked eye and this can alter the shock geometry and handling of your buggy. The Smokem towers are not only tougher but are also up to 40% lighter than the standard aluminium units. Additional shock mounting holes have been provided to allow racers to further fine-tune the handling of their DEX410R or DEX410.
