Hudy have introduced a dedicated aluminium tray for their popular setup system. CNC-machined from a single piece of piece aircraft-grade aluminium the tray is extremely durable and wear resistant due to the black-colour hard-coating. The parts tray features various compartments for set-up system, shock stands, set-up wheels, balancing tools, and other accessories needed for vehicle setup, making it the perfect solution for all classes and scales. In addition the rear part of the tray features a machined slot for a toe measurement plate. The machined pockets feature super-thin walls for a low weight and chamfered edges and laser-engraved Hudy graphics makes the tray stand out on the pit table.
Coming soon from Team Powers is the Radon Pro V4 brushless speed controller. The 200A-rated ESC features new hardware in the form of higher power FETs for a lower internal resistance and thus increased power supply and lower running temperatures. At 17mm the new aluminium case is 2mm lower than the previous version while also scrubbing about six percent of weight. A new PCB layout design improves stability and reliability and the included new firmware provides the ability to access pre-defined software features – such as limiter, throttle rate, RPM lock, brake limit and throttle settings – using a third or fourth radio channel. Furthermore the controller comes with a 6V/7.4V 5A high-performance BEC system to support power-hungry servos.

GForce from Japan have introduced their new Hyper Sonic 540-class competition brushless motors. The motor’s design provides increased torque, crisp acceleration and high top speeds while ensuring a smooth off-throttle feeling. A highly machined aluminium can allows for plenty of cooling and the motors come in 5.5T to 8.5T modified and 10.5T to 21.5T stock variants.
Pro-Line have introduced their new range of pre-mounted S3 compound 1/8th buggy and truggy tyres. The compound is similar to the X3 long-lasting compound, however it is a substantial leap forward in terms of grip in dry and slick conditions. Another massive improvement with the S3 rubber is that the tyres stay stable throughout long main events and do not fade or get soft near the end of the race. Current variants available include the Hole Shot VTR and Buck Shot VTR truggy pre-mounts as well as the Blockade, Hole Shot, Fugitive, Buck Shot, and Slide buggy tyres. All come mounted on white rims and in sets of two.
