Coming from Yeah Racing and made for the Tamiya TT-02 entry-level touring car is a drift performance conversion. Designed to achieve a large steering angle, that is required for RWD drifting, the kit’s steering rack has been redesigned around the original chassis so it will be a drop in installation whilst achieving large steering angle with the upgrade steering rack. Combined with the highly adjustable suspension and steering geometry, owners will be able to tune the performance and behaviour to their liking. Adjustable rear universals have been included so that drovers can also adjust track width. Updated DSG dampers with longer ball cups allow for more droop and the possibility to tune the throw of the chassis when going into the corner. The suspension and steering parts are machined from high-quality aluminium and they come blue anodised and laser-engraved for looks.

Team Associated have introduced their new Factory Team cross pin set for the RC8B3.1 and RC8T3.1 kits. Designed for the V3 differentials to increase consistency, performance, and lifespan of the diff, the steel cross pin inserts reduce diff case deformation by increasing the contact area with the diff case, improving the internal gear mesh. The hard anodised aluminium cross pins are light and durable and they fit the RC8B3.1, RC8B3.1e, RC8T3.1 and RC8T3.1e.

Pre-marked lines in both the front and rear wheel arches allows to easily and precisely mount the body in the preferred position. The rear wing comes with two different cut lines to adjust the rear down force and 20mm x 40mm side wing plates are also included. The S100 body shell is made from high quality clear polycarbonate and it comes including window masks, decal sheet and wing mount kit in standard 0.8mm, light weight 0.7mm and ultra light weight 0.5mm variants.

Coming from Horizon Hobby are the new Spektrum Smart Technology chargers and LiPo battery packs. The Spektrum Smart Technology practically takes care of all of the battery’s vital aspects while storing unique data such as chemistry type, cycle count, charge rate, error log, and more, plus programming options to custom tailor the Smart LiPo battery to the owner’s needs. This innovative connection is made possible by an installed microchip on every battery, feeding the unique information through a data cable to the new IC3 and IC5 connectors. Every Smart LiPo battery is factory assembled with the next-generation IC3 or IC5 output connector that’s conveniently compatible with older devices equipped with EC3 and EC5 connectors. Owners can use Smart batteries with non-Smart systems, but only when connected to a Spektrum Smart device will all the benefits of Smart technology become obvious.
