Continuing their releases for the Axial SCX10 III and Capra, Samix have introduced this brass knuckle & portal cover set & scale brake rotor plus 8mm hex combo set. For a combined weight gain of 315 grams, this offers a better centre or gravity and forward weight bias for climbing. Made of high quality brass and etched with L and R for ease of installation, the parts have been black coated to help prevent corrosion and given gold highlights for that factory look. The scale brake rotor & calliper complete the look.
The ProTek RC shock & differential fluid bag is a convenient way to haul and organise silicone fluids, adhesives, or anything else that fits inside one of the fifteen 41 x 104mm slots.

The corrugated plastic dividers are lightweight and durable, and will help the bag hold its shape over time. The lid of the bag features a large ProTek RC logo in silver, while a 250x110mm mesh zippered pocket on the inside of the lid is a great spot to stash setup sheets, tools or other small accessories that may come in handy during shock and diff maintenance.

From Ultimate Racing for the Mugen MBX8 are some new aerodynamic attachments. First up is this clear lexan front upper arm wing, an aero option that attaches directly to the front upper arms. This tuning option helps to increase front end grip and traction at higher speeds, while helping to improve the front/rear balance in the jumps. These wings are feather light and include lightweight machined mounting brackets that create a strong and lightweight mount for installation. The front wing replaces the front nose-cone on the vehicle with a front wing design that has shown to produce enhanced steering characteristics. The front scoop includes 2 pieces per package, so a driver has enough to outfit their nitro and e-buggy with the same package. This wing provides increased feel and sensitivity in the larger sweeping sections and helped jumping attitude in the tricky jump sections.

Schumacher have released their new anti-lozenge top deck conversion for the Mi7. Developed by their drivers over many months, this top deck gives a great tuning option for carpet with the alloy chassis, as well as tarmac with the carbon chassis. Overall it is a softer option with a more symmetrical feel than the kit standard top deck. The anti lozenge post stiffens the car front to back affecting forward traction and stability under braking. The top deck comes with an optional front U brace to stiffen the front of the car if required.
