Coming from Arrowmax is a 4000mAh 7.4V 2S low-profile LiPo battery pack. Built using high-performance 55C/110C cells the battery is of 139x47x22.5mm dimensions, allowing for an overall lower centre of gravity compared to standard 25.1mm hardcase packs. The battery makes use of 5mm bullet type connectors and it is usable in both Modified and Stock racing classes.

Following the a 10.5T version Scorpion now also introduced a 13.5T variant of their all-new RR-3420 ROAR-spec brushless motor. Designed using a black anodised aluminium high-airflow can and a 12.5mm high-torque rotor the spec racing motor is made for competition use and it currently awaits ROAR approval. Apart from being of 13.5T specifications the motor sports the same features as the faster 10.5T variant with a screw-type rotor surface for cooling, high-grade silicon steel stator material and high-purity copper wires.

Coming from Trinity is a range of balance charge cables and option parts for the Team Associated B6-series of buggies. Starting with the Pro Hi-Amp charge cables, they are available in a short 12 inch, 30cm variant with white sleeve and also as longer 24 inch, 60cm harness with green sleeve. Both are of an updated design with with battery-side wires splitting further back for more flexibility. The cables come pre-wired using high-temp solder, 5mm battery and 4mm bullet-type charger connectors.
Yokomo have introduced a truck load of new parts for the YR-10 formula kit as well as optional rotors for the Racing Performer brushless motors. Starting with the YR-10 options, first up is a hard graphite main chassis plate. Featuring the same design and thickness as the original chassis the part is made from much harder carbon fibre, making for decreased flex and thus improved handling on high-bite surfaces. The chassis is a direct replacement and usable on both carpet and asphalt tracks.
Coming from Japanese brand Modify is a 40mm high RPM motor fan set. Included are a high airflow 18,000 RPM fan unit for improved motor cooling as well as an all-black extension wire to couple the fan with a free receiver output. Using additional fans will lower the motor temperatures of both modified and stock motors and also in high ambient temperatures.

Scorpion have introduced their all-new RR-3420 brushless motor. Designed to meet ROAR specifications the motor features an 7075 aluminium case with heatsink design and several cooling openings that also allow to check the stator specifications. Furthermore the motor utilises high-temperature magnets and high-purity copper wires for minimal internal resistance. The stator material is high-grade silicon steel and a built-in cooling fan reduces the internal temperatures while a patented screw-type rotor surface increases flux density and maximises cooling. The motor is currently available as 10.5T variant and should get ROAR approval soon.
Arrowmax have expanded their line of high-performance LiPo battery packs by a 14.8V variant for 1/8th scale applications. Build from 55C cells with a capacity of 5200mAh the battery measures 139x47x48mm and it comes in a protective hardcase and pre-wired with a T-type power and a standard balancer connector. The cells allow for up to 110C burst rate, enough even for the most power-hungry motors.
