Coming from RPM are the Zoomies mock exhaust headers. They resemble the massive exhaust headers seen on many 1970’s full-scale cars with the RPM variant fitting a range of 1/18th to 1/10th scale vehicles and body shells. Their multi-piece design allows to mount them upwards, tilted backwards or even downwards and they come in a black or chrome variant. Screw mounting holes makes for secure installation on running vehicles while for display body shells mounting using double sides tape is also possible. The mock exhausts are ideal for VTA cars, monster trucks and many other applications.
Samix have introduced a set of brass spring retainers for the Axial SCX10 II trail truck. Machined from heavy brass material the retainers add 35g of weight to the suspension, which can be beneficial in order to improve climb performance of the truck. Due to the sturdy construction and rigid material the spring retainers also improve seat of the spring which is further helped by the taller inner support. The parts are a direct fit on the standard Axial shocks and they come in sets of four.
Coming from Axon are new matte finish aluminium screws as well as a medium viscosity ball differential grease. Starting with the fasteners, the aluminium bolts are made from aircraft-grade material and their matte surface will grip better into the carbon fibre material of chassis, top decks and shock towers which will lead to a more natural flex of all parts compared to using polished-finish screws. The 3mm button head screws are available in 6mm, 8mm and 10mm specification while the flat head variant comes in 6mm and 8mm length. All are available as 4-piece or 10-piece packs.
Coming from RPM and made for the Team Associated B6 series of 2WD buggies are the flat front A-arms. The wishbones offer a much tighter fit of the hinge pins which results in a more precise front end while in-line retaining screws for the outer hinge pins and ditched inside retaining screws for shoulders in the hinge pin holes result in a weight reduction of 1.75g per A-arm. The arms come as pair and they are made to replace the AE #91671 arms.

Active Hobby Products have expanded their range of option parts for the Tamiya TA07 Pro touring car. First up is a new aluminium transversal chassis stiffener. The CNC-machined and blue or black anodised part connects the outer chassis rails and thus makes for an overall increased chassis stiffness. The part weighs in at a lightweight 8.5g and it is a direct fit.
Coming from Samix and made for the Axial SCX10 II trail truck are brass centre driveshafts. The set compromised of outer brass couplers, weighing in at 79g, and the inner brass sliders, with a weight of 49g, with both adding valuable weight that can be beneficial to improve climb performance while adding rigidity and durability. The parts can be mixed and matched with the standard composite plastics in order to achieve the desired overall weight or weight distribution.
