Designed in collaboration with Toni Rheinard, the markers allow the precise mounting of painted and clear bodyshells with the help of rubber-protected body mount extensions and O-shaped magnets. The extensions are simply attached to the body posts and the magnets are used to locate the position of the body mounts for perfectly aligned body shells. The rubber material prevent the body from becoming scratched while the body post positions are easily marked with a permanent pen through the holes in the magnet.

TVR introduce their Ball-X driveshafts for the Traxxas Revo and Maxx line of monster trucks. The special design of the driveshaft and wheel axle coupler using balls over conventional pins makes for a three times larger contact area to distribute torque loads more efficiently, more reliable and without any binding. The construction also allows for angles up to 50 degree for smaller turning circles for more low-speed agility. The driveshafts comes as pairs with suitable differential outdrives.
