The updated brace was developed to improve overall steering feeling compared to the stock part and it comes machined from high-quality aluminium with a black surface coating making for improved surface protection. Machined silver edge details and white laser-engraved markings make the part stand out.

Coming from Xray and made for the T4 series of touring cars are new aluminium steering blocks with carbon fibre Ackermann plates. The steering blocks feature an ultra-strong construction that provides a very long life and durability in even the most extreme racing conditions. Composite bushings are used to secure the ball bearings in place which allows the bearings to fit perfectly and spin freely, giving much higher lifetime compared to bearings installed directly into aluminium steering blocks. The graphite extensions mount to the steering block and features the same Ackermann position as the standard composite steering block, however the extensions can be mounted either from the top or bottom. The alloy steering blocks are recommended for high traction conditions as they improve stability and makes the car turn smoother. In addition to using them up front they also fit the rear ARS kit where they allow greater toe in/out gain adjustment possibilities. The set includes the steering blocks, steering plates, ball bearing bushings as well as ball races.

Coming from MR33 and made by Raceberry is a 1-piece carbon fibre top deck for the Awesomatix A800FX FWD touring car. The upper deck is of an asymmetrical 1-piece design, making for different torsional flex characteristics compared to the original 2-piece assembly while an additional brace in front of the rear bulkhead stiffens the rear area which can be helpful in higher grip conditions. The top deck is available from now on.

Coming from Torpine are their new brass screw kits for a range of current on-road touring and FWD cars. The fasteners, intended for the use in the lower areas of the chassis, are precision made from high-quality brass material and due to being heavier than standard steel screws, they help to lower the overall centre of gravity of a car while adding a certain weight. Available are a 52-piece kit for the Xray T4’20, a 39-piece kit for the Xray X1’20, a 59-piece kit for the Awesomatix A800MMX, a 54-piece kit for the Awesomatix A800FX, a 51-piece kit for the Serpent SF4 and a 44-piece kit for the ARC R11F. Also available are 8-piece sets of M3x5mm, M3x10mm and M3x12mm countersunk head screws.

Mugen have introduced their new muffler stopper for their MRX and MTX series of nitro on-road cars.

The stopper is usable with most on-road exhaust pipes and it includes a grub screw.
Xray have introduced different aluminium C-hubs to fine-tune the setting of their recently announced ARS system for the T4 2020 kit. Machined from high-quality Swiss 7075-T6 aluminium and coming in 0 degree, 2 degree and 4 degree caster settings, the hubs help to adjust the overall wheel caster and thus available traction and side bite with the 0 degree parts being recommended for medium to high-bite tracks, the 2 degree hubs are best used on medium-low to medium-high conditions and the 4 degree hubs excel in ultra-low to medium traction conditions. The parts feature a black surface coating and the 2 degree and 4 degree hubs are available separately for the left or the right hand side of the car.
