MIP TLR 22 Super Diff Bi-Metal kit

MIP have introduced the Bi-Metal Super Diff kit for all TLR 22 vehicles. Featuring a unique bi-metal outdrive design the kit utilises 7075-T6 aluminium outdrive hubs and heat-tempered steel outdrives to scrub 30 percent of weight compared to the standard differential. The weight reduction will make for quicker spool-up and acceleration especially in stock classes. Included in the set are also Tungsten Carbide diff balls and MIP’s rebuildable machined aluminium T-nut as well as hard polished drive rings and small parts. Needed for completion of one diff is only the original TLR diff gear.

Infinity HB D413 carbon fibre shock towers

Coming from X Factory’s Infinity line of option parts are carbon fibre shock towers for the HB D413 buggy. Designed to replace the standard front and “B” rear shock tower both show small but significant improvements as there is more material on top of the shock mount holes and more outside the last hole to reduce possibility that the shock mount bolt will rip out landing a jump. This also helps with abrasion when the car is up-side-down. “A” and “C” shock towers are available on request.

Capricorn TE03 bridge-style topdeck

Seen in prototype-stages at the recent fourth round of the 2015/16 ETS in Riccione, Italy, Capricorn now officially launch their all-new bridge-style topdeck for the TE03 touring car. Doing away with the conventional horizontally-mounted flat topdeck the vertically-placed bridge variant will totally change the flex characteristics of the car while keeping it tweak-free at the same time. The design will also improve traction by distributing the wheel loads more effectively. The topdeck is available as an upgrade kit including new bulkhead mounts and it is usable on both the TE03 and TE03 Evo.
