Coming from T-Works and made for the Hong Nor Sabre X3 and Evo are lightweight fibre brake discs. The parts are machined from black fibre glass and are of a vented design that both lowers the disc’s weight but also helps with cooling for less brake fading even in long mains. The plates come as pair and are a direct fit.
Coming from Exotek and made for the Xray XB2 and XB4 line of buggies are new aluminium and carbon fibre option parts. First up is a 3-gear laydown motor plate with spur gear shield for the XB2. The 1-piece motor plate weighs in at a lightweight 12.5g with vent opening improving airflow and cooling. An integrated spur gear shield keeps the buggy’s body from rubbing for increased spur gear and body life. The plate comes polished and black anodised for a factory look.
Xray have introduced the Dirt rear suspension conversion set for the XB2’18 Carpet spec buggy. The kit includes hard, wide rear XB4 suspension arms, medium composite rear hubs, a suitable RR suspension mount, +2.25mm wheel hex adapters, 71mm driveshaft dogbones, as well as a ball differential along the needed small parts and mounting hardware to convert the rear end of the Carpet specification car into a dirt shredding machine as it was used by the Xray factory team and Ty Tessmann at the recent Reedy Race of Champions. Using the set will improve rear traction and stability for somewhat lower grip dirt tracks.

Coming from Zen Racing and made for the RXGT12 pan car is the rear droop spring kit. The part replaces part number ZENC152 and the use of the fixed droop set screw. By replacing the droop screw with a spring the car is better balanced over bumps and offers an even better transition of weight entering a corner.
Infinity has released a new optional 1.6mm top deck for its IF14 electric touring car. Made from high quality USA-produced carbon material, it creates more chassis flex when compared to the kit standard 2.0mm top deck, leading to increased traction and greater initial steering response. The 1.6mm top deck offers the best results when combined with the IF14’s optional aluminium flex main chassis.

Coming from Xray and made for the RX8 1/8th nitro on-road kit is a nickel-plated XCA aluminium clutch bell. The item is machined from Swiss 7075-T6 aluminium for a low weight and high durability, comes nickel-coated for wear and scrubs about 60 percent of weight as the clutch bell weighs in at only 3.7g.

Coming from Capricorn and made for the LAB P12 1/12th scale pan car is the X-hard carbon fibre main chassis. The bottom plate features smaller cutouts and a different shape which results in increased torsional flex compared to the standard chassis and thus improved handling characteristics and higher corner speeds on high to very high bite surfaces.
