More new option parts from LC Racing for their LC10B5 and PTG-1 1/10 4wd buggies. The new parts are left and right aluminium 9 degree C-hubs. The use of alloy allows for more precise steering and consistent handling and they are also now more resistant to impacts.

JConcepts together with Ryan Maifield and ace mechanic Mike Truhe had a goal before the ROAR Fuel Nationals of creating a rock guard capable of resisting larger debris from getting into the drivetrain on the MBX8 line of vehicles. An ultra-thin carbon fibre plate has been created to position over the rear driveshaft and diff outdrive to block items from entering from the top of the vehicle. Another small addition from JConcepts and RM2 can help save a truck body nosepiece from abuse. The detailed design of the light-weight carbon fibre nose-piece washer works in conjunction with the JConcepts F2 body and helps support across the entire section of the mounting flange area. Included hardware makes assembly and fit a breeze and once completed, looks factory and as custom as it gets.
For the Tekno EB48 2.0 and NB48 2.0 series, Exotek have released a number of new aluminium options. The new parts include heavy duty 7075 alloy steering spindles, alloy rear hubs and bell crank set for more consistent suspension performance and handling. Extra durable for high powered applications and polished and anodised in glossy Tekno team colours for that factory look.
JConcepts is spot on with the release of this optional 3.0mm carbon fibre rear shock tower for the Associated RC10T2. The stock vehicle comes standard with a fiber glass unit which carries all the original geometry, however it lacks the pizzazz, strength and appearance that carbon fibre can provide.

From Awesomatix, their new FBS set is a very unique design of a dynamic acting ball stud for the suspension. The O-Ring inside the capsuled steel housing allows a movement of the actual ball stud into every direction. Furthermore the O-Ring provides the needed damping effect. It can be beneficial in certain conditions, such as lower grip or on very special asphalt/carpet surfaces. Additionally, it reduces the peak load on the suspension link at crashes. Depending where the studs are installed, there are different effects. Basically, the Ball Studs can be used in every position of the car where normal ST24 is in use. Also new is a 5,5mm / 6,5mm / 7,0mm multi tool wrench which is made from high grade stainless steel with laser engraved logo. Highly recommended for the FBS (Flexible Ball Stud) assembly as well as for AT21/AT21ST-A installation on the chassis. Finally there are new high quality ball bearings with Si3N4 ceramic balls. The optimum to reduce the friction of your A800 drivetrain. Especially useful for any stock class competition where the lowest friction of the drivetrain will result in higher top speed and more consistent power for the runtime. Featuring a black rubber seal on one side and metal seal on the other side.
New from MR33 is this brass bulkhead weight set for the Awesomatix A800FX or FX Evo. The set includes 4 individual pieces which get screwed onto the front bulkhead, each pair with 1 screw. The set will line up directly under the differential and features 90g of overall weight. Compared to other, more forward mounted Bumper weights, it will create a little more aggressiveness to the front end of your Awesomatix A800FX or FX Evo front wheel drive car.
For the Yokomo BD11 touring car, T-Works have produced these two new option parts. Made from carbon fibre the first new item is a replacement for the composite upper bumper plate. The set comes supplied with body post tubes that are inserted into the carbon plate to support the body posts and mounting hardware. The second item is a carbon front bulkhead support plate that allows you to fine tune the flex at the front of the car.
