SRC DSE 190mm touring car body shell

Italian company SRC have finally unveiled their all-new DSE 190mm touring car body shell. The EFRA #4068 homologated body features a special design for improved rear traction and stability. A flowing front end shape with hood reinforcements will provide enhanced steering response thanks to strengthening the front wheel arch section. To this adds an exclusive side panel design that adds to the overall rigidity of the body that will become available in Xlight and Super-Xlight variants as well as pre-cut for most of today’s touring cars. Supplied with the lid is a new-design 3-dams rear wing that will increase overall downforce in combination with the new-style front roof design.

Hudy 5g & 10g pure Tungsten weights

Hudy have introduced their all-new pure tungsten balancing weights. Made from rare pure Tungsten material, known for its very high density and thus heavy weight, the 5g and 10g weights are a lot smaller than conventional brass or steel balance weights, allowing for easier placement and a cleaner layout. The super small weights also make for lower centre of gravity thanks to their low-profile design. The weights are available separately in 5g and 10g specification.

RPM Traxxas UDR front lower A-arms

Coming from RPM is a set of front lower A-arms for the Traxxas Unlimited Desert Racer truck. The A-arms are redesigned from the ground up with one goal in mind – making them tougher and building a completely new, original, one-piece A-arm designed with the UDR’s needs in mind. The designers beefed up the support arms in the direction of suspension travel and changed the angle of the A-arm at the pivot ball to improve clearance at the axle carrier. The updated design also counters the fact that the stock arms actually contact the steering bellcrank at full suspension compression and with the wheels turned. Extra clearance on the new parts means less chance of a bottomed-out suspension breaking the bellcrank. Other improvements include slop reduction for improved precision. The arms replace the Traxxas #8532 and #8533 arms and they come in pairs.

MIP Bypass1 1/8th AE & TLR shock pistons

MIP’s popular Bypass1 1/8th scale off-road shock pistons are soon also available in dedicated variants for Team Associated and TLR 1/8th off-road kits. Just like MIP’s Mugen-specific Bypass1 pistons, the AE and TLR spec pistons are fully customisable and allow to truly control the car’s rebound speed and performance. The pistons are also dyno-tuned to ensure they match the compression characteristics of the stock pistons. Featuring MIP colour-coded valves, the pistons combined together with the valves allow fully to control and maximise the car’s shocks performance based on which valves used. Thicker valves generate a slower rebound and thinner vales get quicker rebounds. Each set includes four pistons and a total of twelve valves, four of each hardness.
