Exotek ZX-6.6 HD steering set

Coming from Exotek and made for Kyosho’s Lazer ZX-6.6 4WD buggy is the heavy duty steering set. The fully 7075 alloy set included steering bellcranks, a steering rack and small parts and its design is based off of Exotek’s popular D413 steering. The improved construction removes all of the plastic parts and bushings and adds four ball bearings and two crush shims for long wearing, smooth and precise operation. The kit includes two steel TiNi-coated bearing screws, four ball bearings, two crush shims, two alloy cranks, an alloy steering rack and two alloy steering post spacers while making use of the stock ZX-6.6 posts and post bearings. The design matches the stock geometry and also allows mounting of the servo on either side of the chassis.

JConcepts 8ight 4.0 S2 bodyshell

Made for TLR’s 8ight 4.0 buggy is JConcepts’s latest Silencer S2 bodyshell. Influenced by JC’s S2 1/10th buggy bodies the 1/8th scale variant sports a forward cab, low-profile stance with channeled roof and rear stabilizing fin. The front of the pods have a deep pocketed “force-bars” which have shown to channel some air in a much needed forward position while also providing a more rigid feel to the body. The low-profile side-pods whisk over the electrics and step where necessary, but its the rear wicker section that improves rear-end grip and tightens up the handling. The unique engine compartment adds some innovation to the design and the prefect resting place for the engine head. The channeling directs the air just along the engine and cooling head while still maintaining a very structured look. The clear body set includes window masks and a decal sheet and it is a direct fit to the 4.0.

RDRP Xray 1/10th Titanium Shock Mounts

Made for Xray’s line of 1/10th scale off-road vehicles are Revolution Design Racing Products’s new titanium shock mounts. The 1-piece mounts are a direct replacement for the kit’s steel parts and they greatly reduce the overall weight thanks to the lightweight titanium material. With the lower weight in one of the highest areas of the vehicles the parts also improve the handling especially in high-bite conditions while allowing for fast and convenient setup changes at the same time. The mounts come in sets of two and they are suitable for both the front and the rear shocks.

JConcepts B6 laydown gear shield

Coming through JConcepts’s Shapeways store is the laydown gear shield for the Team Associated B6. The part is a protection device that adds some protection to the spur gear while also shielding the body from unwanted scratches and rubs associated with normal driving use and wear and tear during a typical race outing. The 3D printed part slides directly on the Team Associated transmission case and aligns with the stock geometry. The motor plate installs just over the gear shield and is positioned as normal. The gear shield is protection for the spur gear itself but also protects the low-profile body designs such as the stock Team Associated body and JConcepts S2 body.

Coming from Shepherd and made for the Velox F1 formula car is a 1-piece aluminium servo mount.

Successfully used by Germany’s Tim Benson at the recent ETS season opener in the Czech Republic, the CNC-machined part is made from high-quality 7075-T6 aluminium and is available in blue or black anodising.
