Exotek TCX-XS chassis & top plate

Exotek have released this ultra narrow TCX-XS liPo chassis. This extra soft chassis is aggressively shaped for extra flex over the stock TCX chassis and uses US made bi-directional layup carbon fiber for maximum flex traits. The rear section has added cut outs for greater flex at the motor mount for increased rear end stability allowing you to drive into corners harder and power out faster. Great chassis to have to extend tire wear and generate maximum grip for controlled tire races. Also for the TCX is this extra soft top plate, which has been aggressively shaped for extra flex over the stock TCX top plate and uses US made bi-directional layup carbon fiber for maximum flex traits. Greater overall flex for increased rear end stability allowing you to drive into corners harder and power out faster. Great tuning aid to have to extend tire wear and generate maximum grip for controlled tire races.

BZM Micro 28.5TT engine

BZM Micro have released their next level of engine innovation and tech, the 28.5TT (Torque Tune) which has been developed for the requirements of the new 4×4 Largescale cars now available. With the extra weight of the 4×4s you need more punch to get you going so they have moved the port diagram slightly to promote the engines torque lower down the rev range. They have also introduced a dome piston to the TT variant. They have also produced a Losi exhaust system which has been designed in association with VRC to their specification and which has some neat features exclusively available to to BZM Micro.

McPappy Racing spring buckets

McPappy Racing have released these new spring buckets for 1/10th or 1/12th pan cars using small front springs like Associated, CRC, or WindTunnel “Babies”. They were specifically designed to keep the spring perfectly centered so they won’t touch the kingpin. This will make the front suspension smoother and prevent that metal grinding feel when the suspension is compressed. They also prevent scratches on the kingpin caused by the spring rubbing on it and greatly extends your kingpin polishing efforts. Since there is not much clearance between the kingpin and small springs, these spring buckets are machined Delrin with a very precise +/- .001″ tolerance. An Associated 1/10th .020″ spring was used in these pictures.
