Teamsaxo have introduced a carbon fibre chassis and top deck for Yokomo’s BD8-2018 touring car. It is understood that the 2.25mm chassis and 2.0mm top plate match the standard kit specifications in terms of outer shape, making them a direct replacement for the kit items.
Revolution Design Racing Products have introduced their new brass C and D suspension mounts for the Tekno RC EB410 1/10th scale 4WD electric buggy as well as a dedicated rear brass weight. Starting with the suspension mounts, they are a direct replacement for the kit’s lightweight aluminium part and add valuable weight especially when running in low-traction conditions or when the track is getting bumpier. Machined from black-coated brass and sporting gold-colour chamfered edges the parts, that can be used separately or in combination, shift the weight bias further to the rear which also helps with rotation into corners especially in low traction conditions while improving overall traction at the same time. Available are the standard geometry C and D suspension hangers and also the C-2mm and D-2mm mounts that bring the suspension geometry – and thus roll centre settings – back to standard when also utilising the RDRP0452-2mm EB410 Carbon Fibre Shock Tower Rear -2mm or any other -2mm rear shock tower.

PSM from Germany have introduced a carbon fibre front upper deck for the Team Associated B64 buggy.

New from Awesomatix is the SPR08 body support set that was developed for the use with all Awesomatix cars. The system will keep the body shell from moving with the chassis, meaning the body will always have same height related to the ground for which allows to run the shell in a lower positions without having to fear body rubbing. The result is improved front end grip and a smoother handling under acceleration. A short video of the system in action can be found here.
