Gizmo GZ1 2017 update kit & hard lower arms

Coming from Gizmo Racing are the new GZ1 2017 update kit and hard lower A-arms. Starting with the update package, the set will bring older spec GZ1 kits to full 2017 specifications by including the V2 upper arm kit, a new carbon fibre chassis, carbon fibre side rails, new diff/spool outdrives and also new low-friction belts. Also available for the GZ1 are hard carbon fibre lower A-arms. They offer less twist and flex than the standard arms, resulting in a more responsive car at the expend of a little overall grip. The hard arms can be used in combination with the standard wishbones in order to achieve a different car balance.

RDRP XB4 brass rear motor weight

Revolution Design Racing Products have introduced their new brass rear motor weight for the Xray XB4 1/10th 4WD buggy. Considered an essential option part the item weighs in at 26g and it sits just behind the motor and acts as a counter weight for the heavy LiPo battery that is located on the right hand side of the buggy. With the lighter motor the additional weight is needed to achieve a proper weight balance and thanks to its clever design it directly attaches to the chassis side guards using a single screw, meaning the weight is both easy to remove when needed while also securely fastened so it will not get thrown out of the chassis during severe track action. The weight is machined from high-quality brass, it comes with RDRP’s signature black and gold finish and it is a direct fit.
