New from F1shop24 in collaboration with Italian RC and made for the VBC Racing LightningF is an optional main chassis, lower pod and upper plate set. Machined from 3mm high-quality carbon fibre the chassis offers higher rigidity than the stock carbon fibre chassis, making it especially useful on high to medium-bite surfaces while allowing to place the battery in an inline or transverse position. The chassis plate also utilises a shorter wheelbase compared to the stock chassis which allows for a more agile handling and higher corner speeds. The chassis was successfully tested by Olivier Bultynck at the ETS round in Luxembourg were he was able to win the Formula class. For the use on low-grip tracks there is a 2.5mm variant available also.

MIP’s Box gearbox for the Team Associated B5M has received a running change in the form of the MIP Eco All-In-1 Box that accommodates all current Team Associated and MIP topshafts on the market for the B5M and T5M platforms. Generally the gearbox bridges a gap and gives the mid motor vehicle all the benefits of the rear motor car but less drag and more initial punch with one less idler gear. The all-aluminium construct offers an advantage pertaining to more precise internal gear mesh, less overall heat, and stiffer bracing, better bearing seats and over 10 percent of the gear box weight reduced from the original box.

Coming from JConcepts and made for the Axial Yeti equipped with 2.2″ tyres are the new 2.2″ Axial Yeti 12mm glue-on wheels. The 8-spoke 1-piece wheel is a smooth design, incorporating a triangle type cut-out of spokes around the centre for heavy street appeal. The design leaves the natural colour of the wheel showing inside the spokes which adds a touch of mystery and depth. In-between the spoke design rests the dividing sections which break up the pattern adding a bit of bite to the overall design. The entire face of the wheel has been plated with a silver coating which gives the Yeti owner a little more luxurious look to match-up to a variety of imaginary looks. Each package contains four wheels, 12mm plastic hexes, wheel adaptors to give the user a front and rear wheel offset and hardware to make the installation complete. The adaptors attach with the included eight, 2.5x8mm screws to provide beefy security. In addition, each wheel includes a solid and open centre cap which are attached with the included eight, 2.5x6mm socket head cap screws.
