Japanese company Azarashi, known for their optional buggy bodyshells and 4WD buggy conversion kits, are about to enter the on-road market with another conversion. Teasing with a somewhat blurry photo it appears like the designers combined their Team Associated B44.1 Grayseal conversion with short length touring car wishbones and a front bumper to create the Roadseal, a 1/10th 4WD touring car with rear motor, backward mounted speed controller and a rear located battery compartment for 2S shorty LiPo battery packs. Azarashi do not go into detail about test results or a rough release schedule but we bring you more information and images as soon as they become available.

Available in red and gold colour the sets include a range of performance and durability enhancing parts such as front and rear shock towers, steering knuckles and C-hubs, suspension mounts, front bumper and small parts.

New from Exotek come aluminium topshafts for the Team Associated B5 and the Serpent SRX-2 2WD buggy. The B5 shaft weights in at around 5g and is 8.5g lighter than the stock shaft while the SRX-2 part scrubs around 6.4g of weight. The lighter weight makes for less rotation mass in the drivetrain, quicker spool-up and better braking resulting in an overall improved transmission performance. The shafts come hard-anodised, polished and are a drop-fit solution.

Smokem’s latest performance chassis is the 418-IIX for Tamiya’s TRF418 touring car. Developed and tested with the help of a top TRF team driver, the 418-IIX chassis utilises a proprietary 2.0mm thick “Pro-Weave” 100 percent carbon fibre construction – which is stiffer than conventional weave but softer than a quasi weave. Together with its flowing contoured design, the 418-IIX chassis provides increased flex and a lowered centre of gravity, improving corner speed over a wider range of track conditions as the chassis already prove with a Smokem equipped car set the fastest overall time by a TRF418 in the modified class during the finals at the 2014 TITC race.
