Made for the recently introduced E4RS4 electric touring car is the 3D flex system set from Team Magic. Developed for low to medium-bite tracks the system will increase the pitch stiffness of the chassis while still allowing for sufficient torsional flex that is necessary for traction and side bite on lower traction surfaces. Included in the set are a pair of ball cups, pivot balls as well as a turnbuckle and shims.
Exotek have introduced an aluminium front pivot mount for the TLR 22-4 2.0 1/10th 4WD off-road buggy. Machined from 7075 alloy and coming black anodised the part offers a heavy duty design and it prevents costly and time consuming DNFs from failures of the stock plastic pivot mount. The mount is machined out for lightness and it weighs in at only 17.6g. Included are two M3 set screws to lock down the hinge pins.
Coming from SMJ and made for the Infinity IF14 and Yokomo BD8 touring cars are a new foam front bumper and zero gap foam strips. Starting with the bumper, the specially-shaped part allows to fine-tune the body position and distance between the body and bumper as its shape fits most of today’s touring car body shells just perfect. With the addition of the optionally available 20x70mm zero gap foam strips any gaps between the body and bumper are easily bridged for improved aerodynamics and longer body life. The self-adhesive foam strip set includes two 3mm and two 5mm strips that are made out of the same material as the foam bumper.
Coming from SMJ is the Kabuto T12 2.1cc nitro on-road engine for 1/10th 200mm nitro touring cars. Based on the O.S. Speed T12 engine the Kabuto variant was fine-tuned to extract even more performance from the power plant while also upping low to mid-range torque. Different from the other Kabuto engines it does not come pre-broken-in but with a newly designed, engraved cooling head. Also available is a suitable, tuned silencer set based on the O.S. Speed T-1070C L52 exhaust that includes the muffler, manifold, silicone gaskets and mounting springs. The engine and exhaust are available separately and also a combo package.
Coming from VP-Pro is the new VP-815 1/8th buggy tyre. Packed with over 2000 pins the tyre was developed for the use on abrasive surfaces and in dusty, bumpy as well as wet or dry track conditions. The tyre is available separately including orange closed cell inserts and also pre-mounted on white or yellow disc wheels.

Modelix Racing have introduced the new Ultimate Racing M3S nitro off-road engine. The O.S. made long-stroke power plant was developed to combine high torque with extreme power and a low fuel consumption, something that was achieved by using a redesigned carburettor that sports a new high speed needle holder for optimised mixture flow, better idling stability and increased mileage. Furthermore the new carburettor features a new uniball joint with two mounting screws for easier angle adjustment. Also new is an updated crankshaft with silicone filling and tungsten balancing while the DLC coating improves the lifespan of the crankshaft and crankshaft pin. Part of the new package is also a 3-port liner and piston assembly for smooth, linear yet high power supply and the updated CNC-machined and red anodised backplate made of 7075-T6 aluminium for reduced friction. Thanks to its design the backplate is now also easier to remove. The M3S engine is rounded out by high-quality Japanese-made ceramic bearings and 6.0mm and 6.5mm venturi inserts.
