From Xray, the new aluminium front anti-roll bar for the NT1 allows you to independently adjust the anti-roll bar from the downstop, so that the downstop setting does not influence the performance of the anti-roll bar and vice versa. An added feature of this set is that you can also adjust the wheelbase. The anti-roll bar moves together with the front arm, and wheelbase adjustment shims can be added either in front of the anti-roll bar, to shorten the wheelbase, or behind the arm, to lengthen the wheelbase.

VP Pro have been busy the past several months working on an all new range of 1/8th off road belted tires. As engines become more powerful and gears get bigger, the cars are going much faster than before and so tires are becoming more important to transfer that power to the track. These new Evo tires are designed specifically for the Worlds track in Pattaya. The 809 Blade Evo and the 808 Gripz Evo both feature supporting insider ribs to strengthen the side wall of the tire providing less flex and faster cornering response. The main evo idea from VP Pro is the flexible belt technology, 21mm and 24mm respectively, which when accelerating keeps the tire flatter which means regardless of whether you are accelerating or cornering the tire will have maximum contact with the track surface and be more stable with less wear.
