New option parts for the RB One & RB One R

RB introduce new option parts for the RB One and RB One R 1/8th off-road buggy. First up are CNC-machined 7075-T6 aluminium shock towers. They offer multiple shock and camber link mounting positions and come with a hard anodised finish. Available are front and rear items laser-etched with RB’s distinctive logo. Next up are CNC-machined steering spindle carriers. Available as separate items and with 12° or 14° built-in castor they are made from 7075-T6 aluminium and sport a gun metal finish. They not only offer added rigidity over the stock parts but also help to fine-tune the steering characteristic. The carriers come including new spindle collars that are also available separately. Staying in the steering department, RB have CNC-machined 7075 alloy steering spindles available. Coming as standard 0° or optional 5° castor variant the parts look cool and add stability to the front end of the RB buggy while the different castor angles allow subtle set-up changes. Like the spindle carriers the steering spindles are available as separate left and right hand item. Last but not least comes a carbon fibre heat shield that is attached to the rear chassis brace. The part protects the radio box and throttle servo from excessive heat coming from the engine, it looks cool and has enough space to become decorated with your sponsor or name decals.

Yeah Racing TT02 suspension & drivetrain option parts

Yeah Racing have new option parts for Tamiya’s TT02 touring car available in the form of rear lower aluminium A-arms, aluminium lower suspension mounts and universal driveshafts. Starting with the rear lower arms, they are made from high-quality aluminium and designed to reduce unwanted suspension flex and therefore add precision to this vital part of any RC car. They make for a smoother and more linear suspension movement and include new outer hinge pins and mounting hardware. Also new are lower aluminium suspension mounts. Again designed to reduce flex, increase precision and add durability the blue anodised parts are a drop fit solution and ideally used with the aforementioned A-arms. Last but not least come universal steel driveshafts for the TT02. They replace the kit’s plastic arrangement and make for a longer lasting and more efficient power transfer. The joint shaft’s cross pin is kept in place by a ring lock and the driveshafts are usable on both the front and rear of the chassis.

Xray NT1 front and rear bulkheads

Xray have new front and rear bulkheads for the NT1 200mm nitro touring car available. They are made from a new, harder material and ideal when racing in high ambient temperatures or on high-traction surfaces. The front bulkheads were redesigned to accommodate the new front wire anti-roll bar system. The rear upper camber link position on the bulkhead clamp has been provided to increase stability and is recommended for use in very high-traction conditions or when using large-diameter tires in order to help prevent traction rolling. The super-lightweight bulkheads have a very clean and lightweight design and a special composite mixture was developed to allow repetitive assembly and disassembly without stressing or wearing out the parts. All four bulkheads are available as separate items.
