VP Pro have introduced new 1/10 2wd and 4wd buggy inserts, designed to provide better handling and control of cars through bumps. They are made of a light foam and adopt modern grinding tech. As a result the inserts are durable, do not break up easily and do not bounce or squirm in a crash. The insert features 18 vertical strips to the inner surface, which allows the insert to flex vertically and absorb large impacts to maintain stability.
Fresh from the FTW laboratories, the newest Night Fox body has been tailored to fit the Xray XB9. Chiseled with precision to match the unique shape of the car, this shell even accommodates the XB9’s dual rear body mount configuration. Formed from clear .040” polycarbonate it comes in clear with a protective film and molded cut lines and window masks and decal sheets are included.

Associated have released a TC6.1 and TC6 front oneway for high-grip conditions. Designed to ensure that both front wheels maintain maximum speed by letting the inside wheel turn slower than the outside wheel, which allows more consistency through a corner. As a plus, under deceleration, the front wheels are disconnected from the drivetrain, allowing their traction to be used solely for turning (and not driving), which gives more steering.

The new AKA HEXlite 1:10 buggy wheels were designed with two things in mind, weight and durability. Both were achieved through superior engineering and use of AKA’s proprietary high-impact nylon. This combination makes them one of the lightest hex wheels on the market. Revolutionary to the 1:10 market is the optional wheel stiffener insert. It has been designed to help keep dirt from building up inside the wheel, making it go out of balance, and stiffens the already stiff wheel. HEXlite wheels spin true and balanced thanks to the quality craftsmanship of being made in the U.S.A. Available in the rear for the Associated/Kyosho/Losi and as a 2wd front for the Associated/Kyosho and Losi as well as a 4wd front for the Kyosho.
