T-Works have introduced two sets of shock cap spacers for the Yokomo BD8/7 and Xray T4 series of touring cars. Available in a 0.3mm or a 0.5mm variant, the spacers were designed to reduce the shock’s rebound pressure by enlarging the distance between the shock body and the upper cap. The spacers come in sets of four and they are a direct fit to both the Yokomo and Xray shock absorbers.
Coming from Kyosho and made for the RB6.6 2WD off-road buggy is a carbon fibre battery plate. Cut from high-quality material and sporting counter sunk holes for optional battery stoppers, the plate is a direct replacement for the kit’s composite plastic part. Due to being less flexible the battery is held in place more securely while the carbon fibre part also adds visual impact.

Coming from Exotek are a 4-piece split motor plate set for the HB Racing D413 buggy as well as the trick camber savers. Starting with the motor plate, the set is of a unique design that allows for quicker access to the buggy’s centre differential without the need to remove the top plates or ripping out the whole centre bulkhead assemblies. After removing the battery and the top diff cover the two side plates are released so that the diff comes out from the side. The set works with the standard D413 and also Exotek’s Pro’17 chassis and it includes the bulkhead plates machined from black anodised 7075 aluminium, instructions, hardware for the stock or Exotek top diff plates and it uses the stock motor cam and clamp.
German AME distributors Ruddog have introduced the new T-Shox V2 1/10th touring car shock absorbers. Completely redesigned AME left no stone untouched inside and out but the design of the shock absorbers remained the same with a through-type shock rod making volume compensators unnecessary. Thanks to the redesign with a better guided shock rod the shocks offer a more consistent and smoother ride. The piston now moves perfectly through the shock body which results in optimised oil flow over the whole dampening movement. The design also results in zero rebound and thus perfectly matched left-right and front-rear shocks. The set included a total of four shocks and it is usable for a range of touring cars including the latest offerings from Yokomo and Xray.
