Exotek have introduced a 74T 48 pitch spur gear for the Xray XB4 1/10th scale buggy. Aimed at 13.5T stock racing, the main gear allows to gear higher thanks to the smaller tooth count, and to run bigger pinions without cutting and modifying the stock motor plate. The heavy duty machined delrin gear includes M2.5 hardware so that it reverse mounts to the spur while allowing the spur teeth to clear the hardware.
Made for the Atom and Atom CC GT12 pan cars is Schumacher’s new low-profile front end. The key benefits are a reduced king pin offset that is making the car easier to drive while also giving a more linear feeling due to better flex and geometry. The front end also allows for quick and easy camber adjustment with one nut and an adjustable ride height with shims under four points, independent of caster adjustment. Finally it gives more adjustment of the ride height on the kingpin. The assembly requires the #U4866 alloy hub carriers as it cannot be used with kit hub carriers.
Coming from T-Works and made for the Kyosho MP9 TKI3/4 and GT3 series of cars are two carbon fibre switch plates. Coming as plain variant to fully cover the respective opening in the radio box and also as cut-out version to use a standard on/off switch, both plates are machined from high-quality carbon fibre and they are a drop fit, preventing dust and dirt from entering the radio box.
UREE from Japan have announced their new carbon fibre slipper pads for a range of 1/10th 2WD buggies. Made from resin-coated carbon fibre the pads will enhance traction for improved acceleration and forward bite while also making for a more aggressive brake control. The plates are available in different variants to fit Team Associated’s B6-series, Yokomo’s YZ-2CA/DT/DTM and also Kyosho’s Ultima and Lazer series of vehicles.
Helix Designs have introduced their new connector clip for the 30mm WTF motor cooling fan. 3-D-printed the purpose-designed clip will attach directly to the fan’s case and clean up the routing of wires from the 30mm WTF fan to the receiver while also preventing wires from breaking and pulling off the fan, increasing its lifespan.
JConcepts have introduced a carbon fibre rare shock tower for the use with long configuration rear shocks. The 4mm thickness, genuine carbon material is durable, lightweight and features the JConcepts milled sections which help maintain strength while minimising weight. The three standard shock positions remain for quick and steady adjustments on the B6 and B6D kits.
Coming from Serpent is a suspension upgrade set for the Cobra GT 1/8th on-road cars. The set includes new carbon fibre shock towers with additional mounting positions for the shock absorbers and camber links as well as a third front body post, new aluminium front and rear shock extensions as well as front and rear aluminium shock standoffs. The parts will make for an updated suspension geometry that creates a more responsive car with better steering, improved balance and reduced tyre wear. Coming as set and also available separately the parts fit all Cobra GT range nitro and electric kits, race rollers and RTRs.

Shepherd have introduced their new aluminium downstop limiters for the Velox V8 WC and Simon Kurzbuch Edition 1/8th scale kits. Made from high-grade 7075-T6 alloy the parts allow a more accurate droop setting because of the more rigid material. Thanks to a redesign the downstops also use less parts which results in improved durability and a more direct feedback. The limiters are available in blue or black anodising.
