Coming from Yeah Racing and made for Tamiya’s popular T3-01 Dancing Rider trike is a 3mm carbon fibre sway arm. The graphite flipper piece is secured with screws and will not pop out as easily as the stock part while adding a bit of visual impact to the otherwise plastic-ish vehicle. The arm is machined from 3mm carbon fibre and it is a direct fit.
T-Works have introduced a set of specially coated metal gear internals for the MP9 TKI4 and TKI3 differentials. Each set contains six gears as well as pins and shims and using the parts will reduce overall wear while offering a smoother diff action thanks to the gear’s slick surface coating.
