Coming soon from Tamiya and made for the M-07 Concept M-chassis kit are a high traction chassis as well as reinforced suspension parts. Starting with the chassis, the item is made from a special composite material for optimised flex characteristics and thus improved traction in low grip conditions. The item is a direct replacement for the stock chassis. Also new are carbon fibre reinforced C parts, including the front and rear hubs and the steering blocks, as well as the D parts bag, the suspension arms, also moulded from carbon fibre infused composite material. All parts offer greatly improved stability and they twist much less during cornering for better precision and faster corner speeds.
Yeah Racing’s recently introduced blue anodised aluminium steering and suspension upgrade set for the Tamiya M-07 Concept is soon also available in black colour. The kit includes essential upgrades for the steering and suspension area of the M-chassis car such as an aluminium steering assembly, an alloy front bulkhead and alloy shock towers along other items such as rear suspension mounts and a motor cooling element. Using the parts will greatly improve the handling of the car due to offering increased rigidity and precision.

Coming soon from Exotek are new option parts for the TLR 22T and 22-4 series of trucks and buggies. First up is a 4mm front shock tower for all 22T series stadium trucks. Machined from lightweight USA-made carbon fibre the shock stay weighs in at only 12g, scrubbing nearly 3g of weight. The tower is a heavy duty construction with a factory look and a more robust material than the stock plastic for consistent handling on high grip tracks. The part is designed with reinforced profiles along the mounting holes for added strength and it includes hardware to mount the stock body posts. The tower fits all 22T series trucks but not the 22SCT.
