Weighing in at approx. 1.4 grams each, using the brass nuts as a replacement for the standard aluminium wheel nuts on 1/10 scale touring cars can help achieve higher traction. The machined serrations bite firmly into the wheel to securely hold it in place.

Exotek’s new Carpet Works chassis set for F1Ultra is designed for maximum performance on carpet tracks. The weight forward design enhances corner speeds by moving the servo forward and running the battery inline for more front tire bite. The modular chassis design allows you to position the battery for optimal weight placement depending on your tracks traction because not all tracks are the same. The stiff 1-piece carbon chassis is also lighter for more responsiveness while keeping the front section as carbon fibre that is proven to resist tweak and bending that alloy F1 chassis can experience on small indoor tracks. Exotek also now offer the F1Ultra race kit combined with the Carpet Works chassis set.

Reds Racing have announced their new line of 1/10 scale pinion gears. They utilised all of their engineers and product developers to design a ground up pinion that not only has the strength to outlast their competitors but also comes in at an ultralight weight and generates low friction. Reds Racing pinions are made of the best quality aluminium and a special coating treatment allows the teeth to last longer than any other pinion on the market, consequently high speed, strength and durability are the core base of this new project. These pinions are developed with both stock and mod racing in mind and are available in both 48P (18-31T) and 64P (24-52T).

From ARC, the adjustable front and rear shock base are the latest option parts designed for the R8.3 and R8.3E. This allows the shock angle to be adjusted by adding or removing shims. Compared to traditional shock towers, racers can adjust the shock angle in much finer increments to better fine tune the handling of their car, the more shims below the shock absorber the harder the suspension. Both shock bases also feature a 3mm carbon brace that bridges the left and right sides of the shock base. This brace can be added or removed to adjust the flex of the front bulkhead. With the plate installed in the front there is an increase in initial corner speed, while when the rear version is installed there is an increase in rear end stability.
