They are machined from high-quality aluminium, sport a knurled design for convenient handling and they are now also available in orange and black colour to add to the already existing grey ones. The parts come in sets of two, including grub screws and beside the SRX8 they also fit many other nitro vehicles.
UK Agama distributors Nemo Racing have introduced an aluminium lower servo saver for the A215 kits.

Coming from Yeah Racing are two brass balance weight sets, one for Xray’s T4 line of touring cars as well as a general set. Starting without the Xray-specific set, the kit contains a total of eight weights with two dedicated ones for the centre line of the car while the additional six weights can be positioned in the steering and rear chassis area. The flat 8g and 13g weights that are part of the T4 set are also available as general 6-piece kit usable for nearly all touring and drift cars. The weights are machined from high-quality brass material, they come with a black surface coat and are engraved for easy identification.
Coming from TPro is a set of downstop screws for 1/8th off-road vehicles. Specially designed with a flat head that better protects the chassis area compared to a normal set screw, that can grub into the chassis plate over time, the construction also makes for more precise droop settings thanks to the increased contact patch. The set includes eight M4x10mm screws that are usable on many of today’s 1/8th buggies, trucks and GT kits.
Coming from RC Pro Style and made for most 1/8th scale electric brushless motors is a clamping design aluminium fan mount. The construction allows to attach two 40mm fan units which will greatly improve motor cooling and thus overall performance especially during longer mains or when running in high ambient temperatures. The fan mount is machined from high-quality aluminium, it comes black anodised and with an engraved RC Pro Style logo.
Destiny have introduced a new spring steel spool cup set for the RX-10S touring car. The parts utilise a special design that allows to run the front driveshafts with or without C-blades. Using the protective plastic blades results in less stress on the outdrives and driveshafts while the blade-less variant will slightly improve traction and forward bite at the expense of increased outdrive and driveshaft wear. Included in the set are suitable C-blades.
Coming from ProStar R/C and available for the TLR 8ight buggy and 8ight-T truggy are the Super Hybrid Kevlar composite shock towers. The sandwich shock stays utilise gold or blue carbon fibre over a Kevlar layer with a carbon fibre core. This makes the shock towers structurally stronger and more durable while the outer layer adds a touch of colour. Lighter than stock the parts also lower the overall centre of gravity. The shock towers are available for the 8ight buggy and 8ight-T truck and also in limited edition red variants.
