Coming from T-Works are the Tweak Terminator positioning blocks especially made for the Yokomo BD7-2016 touring car. The 2016 edition of Yokomo’s successful tourer sports very low profile shock towers which let the spur gear protrude above the shock towers, making the use of anti-tweak rods impossible in most cases. To overcome this problem T-Works have introduced the Tweak Terminator blocks that sit snuggly on top of the shock towers and between the left and right bulkhead halves to ensure a taller platform for the tweak rods, clearing the spur gear. The blocks are machined from aluminium, they come black anodised and laser-etched for easy identification.
Coming from Pro-Line are several pre-cut chassis protector decals for the Team Associated B44.3, B5M and the TLR 22 3.0. They are made using extra thick 0.5mm material and prevent excessive chassis wear as well as dirt build-up in the chassis screws and unused screw holes. The decals are manufactured by Upgrade RC and they are available in the Pro-Line Team or Pro-Line Black design with a plain, un-cut and clear sheet also being available.
Coming from Pro-Line is the Enforcer bodyshell for the Team Associated RC8T3 1/8th truggy. The body is a standard standard item in the AE kit and originally comes from the mind of Ty Tessmann to offer a meaner and more angular front end look with swooping roof and bed sections for improved airflow and high-speed stability. The hood of the truck is steeper to create more down force over the front wheels for more steering and faster lap times. As usual the body comes clear, including window masks and decal sheet.
Available now from Upgrade RC are the Bermudas aluminium wing buttons. A one size fits all for both 1/8th and 1/10th scale vehicles the mounting plates are machined from high-quality aluminium with the unique triangular design being a welcomed alternative to the majority of round wing buttons. The wing mounts use either flat or button head M3 screws and they are available in black or blue anodising.
Based on their 50mm and 55mm Damper Gear shock absorber sets Yeah Racing have introduced the new, longer 60mm variants for 1/10th scale rally and off-road cars. The shock absorbers are of an all-aluminium design with threaded alloy shock bodies, alloy upper and lower shock caps as well as an alloy spring pre-load nuts. Other features include titanium-nitride coated piston rods and volume compensators and the shock come with an assortment of pistons in standard and V-hole variants to fine-tune the compression and rebound characteristics. The set, that includes a total of four shock absorbers, is rounded out by an assortment of springs and the dampers are available in grey or silver anodising.
