Airtronics introduce the TLS-01 telemetry data logger to real-time display and record parameters like temperatures, speed, RPM, steering and throttle input and more. Compatible with the MT-4 2.4GHz telemetry transmitter and – with limitations – also the M11X, MX-3X, and other Airtronics FHSS3 surface systems, the data logger gives you knowledge of how the car handled and even how you drove and allows to compare data in a spreadsheet or database environment on a computer via Airtronic’s Windows-compatible interface system.

The JConcepts Double Dees tire is perfect for a variety of track surfaces. Wear is always the trade off when going to a small pin tire and with the Double Dees for Short Course, these worries have been minimized. Running qualifiers and main events on the same high performance tire is now possible. The Double Dees design is a world leading tire combination right out of the package, the unique technology combined with compounds such as the new gold compound allow the flexibility necessary to compete on even the most demanding surfaces for an extended period of time. Double Dees in gold compound excel on indoor hard packed surfaces with either dry or wet conditions.

The Duratrax 12-tip multi-driver tool stores six double-ended tool bits in the handle and does the work of a dozen different drivers with just one handy tool. The machined, anodized aluminum handle is hex-shaped to resist rolling and improve grip. The end cap rotates to select the preferred bit. Bit length is adjustable, so the modeler can shorten it for more torque or lengthen it for greater reach.

Exotek have introduced the F1 Ultra, the next evolution in their F1 line of chassis for the F103. Based on the hugely successful F1R, the F1ultra has been refined for the Tamiya F103 and benefits greatly from its wider track and shorter wheelbase and works equally well on foam or rubber tires. Features include link type rear pod for exceptional rear grip, optimized for use with 7.4v shorty packs, inline or laterally, for a more compact and lighter car and the bottom plate only design helps generate more steering response. This coupled with the increased rear traction creates an overall better handling car. A unicrank steering assembly gives smoother steering and a lower center of gravity at the nose to reduce traction roll.

Xray have a new progressive spring set for the XB808 off-road buggy available. The ultimate-match front and rear springs sport progressive characteristics for a soft initial feel and increasing hardness while the spring compresses. This makes for a sensitive damper behaviour but enough stiffness to retain a precise overall feeling. The springs are recommended for medium-high traction tracks, are available as a pair, are measured, controlled, inspected and matched to provide identical damping characteristics. The front progressive C=0.7-0.8 mimics a hardness 0.7 spring at the beginning of the compression and a hardness 0.8 spring at the end. The rear progressive C=0.5-0.6 behaves like a hardness 0.5 to hardness 0.6 spring.
