BMT have introduced new rear aluminium driveshaft dog bones for the 701 1/10th nitro on-road car. They are machined from high-quality alloy and come hard anodised for wear. The driveshafts weigh in at 3.4g each versus 5.5g for the original steel parts, scrubbing rotational mass for improved acceleration and brake performance.

Made for the Team Associated B64 series of 1/10th 4WD buggies is RDRP’s new carbon and aluminium centre bulkhead cover. It replaces the standard composite part with a more rigid and also way cooler looking assembly that adds to the overall appearance of the buggy while also reinforcing the motor mount and centre bulkhead area for increased drivetrain efficiency. The assembly is constructed from high-quality carbon fibre and anodised aluminium, it is available in black or blue colour and fits both the B64 and B64D kits.
Xray have introduced a low centre of gravity central aluminium bulkhead for the XB4’18 1/10th 4WD buggy. A direct replacement for the standard composite part, the item greatly increases the overall rigidity of the centre bulkhead area while offering greater reliability and a longer life. The bulkhead comes in the “low” specification needed for the 2018 variant of Xray’s successful XB4 platform and it sports a black surface treatment for wear and looks.

Coming from Yeah Racing and made for the 2018 variant of Xray’s T4 touring car are several carbon fibre parts. Available are 2.25mm and 2.0mm main chassis plates, 2.0mm or 1.6mm top decks as well as front and rear carbon fibre shock towers all of which are made of high weave carbon that offers high stability for less deformation during high speed cornering. However, the thinner 2.0mm chassis and 1.6mm top deck are best suited for lower grip conditions as they are slightly softer compared to the 2.25mm chassis and 2.0mm upper deck. All parts are available separately and they can be used in either combination.
Hiro Seiko have introduced a lightweight aluminium screw set for the Futaba 7PX radio system. The kit contains five fasteners to replace the standard steel screws of the steering wheel and the upper case in order to scrub some weight while adding visual impact. The screw kits are available in several colours including orange, gold, purple, dark blue, light blue, red, and black.
Coming from JQRacing and made for the brand’s Black Edition 1/8th buggy are new fine-tune tear toe plates. The parts are machined from high-quality aluminium, they come black anodised, with white graphics and they are available in 3.25, 2.75 and 2.50 degree variants to increase or decrease the rear toe-in setting in order to adapt the buggy to different track conditions.

Xray have introduced an adjustable graphite and brass battery holder for the T4 touring car. The design with adjustable carbon fibre clamps and adjustable brass fore and aft stops allows to precisely position the battery pack while adding 7.5g of weight at the same time. The construction allows to shift the battery in a range of 4mm in order to fine-tune the car’s weight distribution while the design of the battery mount eliminates any negative chassis flex.

Coming from Yeah Racing and made for the Traxxas TRX-4 truck are 12mm wheel hex adapters with 8mm offset. The wheel hubs are machined from high-quality brass and they are a direct fit on Traxxas’ popular trail truck. The set includes four hex adapters cross pins and they add about 27g of weight for improved climb performance in heavy terrain.
