Tekin have launched their all-new T-series servo line of high-performance low-profile, speed and torque servos. All feature Digital Magnetic Position Encoding for accuracy, linearity and control with efficient and cool operation. The element proof design provides protection from dust, dirt and water with a 3-piece machined aluminium housing while precision-cut metal gears and dual ball bearings support a smooth, strong drive train. The range includes the T-120 (0.04s/10.1kg-cm) low-profile speed, T-180 (0.06s/15.3kg-cm) low-profile torque, T-130 (0.03s/10.7kg-cm) standard-size 1/10th scale speed, T-190 (0.05s/17.4kg-cm) standard-size 1/10th scale torque, T-250 (0.07s/22.3kg-cm) standard-size 1/8th speed, T-300 (0.08s/25.5kg-cm) standard-size 1/8th torque as well as the T-360 (0.09s/29.8kg-cm) crawler large scale and T440 (0.11s/36.2kg-cm) crawler large scale servo. All are usable with 6.0V to 8.4V input, they are programable through Tekin’s HotWire PC interface and come including an all-aluminium clamping-design Crowbar servo arm.
Coming from Traxxas is their new 1/8th scale Special Edition Funny Car. The RTR vehicle is based on the company’s standard Funny Car but features a vast amount of upgrades such as GTR shock absorbers with PTFE-coated aluminium bodies and titanium-nitride coated shock shafts, it comes with lightweight 7075-T6 aluminium wheel spindles and anodised 6061-T6 aluminium steering blocks and rear suspension link mounts.

Samix have introduced front and rear aluminium shock plates for the MST CFX-W truck. The machined aluminium shock stays offer a 12-hole design to allow for complex shock geometry setups and they are machined from high-quality aluminium for stability and looks. The plates are usable with an optional rear stiffener in case even more reinforcement is needed, they are available as pairs including hardware and in three different colours.
Coming from Revolution Design Racing Products and made for the Team Associated B64 buggies are the new Type B carbon fibre shock towers. First up is the front shock stay that utilises an updated geometry with the upper link mounting positions sitting in an in-between position between the standard inner and outer rows. This lets the camber link ball stud sit in a row with the lower hinge pin for a greatly improved suspension geometry.
Samix have introduced a clamping design aluminium servo arm for the Traxxas TRX-4 trail truck. The item is machined from high-quality aluminium for improved strength and a low weight while the clamping design makes for improved security in high stress situations. The servo horn is available in three colours and for servos with 23T or 25T spline.
Coming from Ruddog is their new Red Stuff O-ring grease. Developed to protect silicone seals from swelling under the influence of silicone oils while offering a smooth feeling for improved performance at the same time, the lubricant is usable on O- and X-ring seals of shock absorbers, differentials and many more. The grease has proven its performance in many tests carried by the Ruddog team and it comes in a 10ml syringe for easy application.

Coming from Xray and made for the XB8 range of 1/8th off-road buggies is the new 5-dots progressive front spring. The hardest in the range so far, the spring is best used on high traction tracks were it can improve corner entry steering. Specially developed the progressive spring will become more linear under compression for excellent feeling and feedback in all track conditions. It comes as pair, marked for easy identification and inspected and matched for best possible accuracy.
