Samix SCX10 III brass spring retainer cups

Coming from Samix and made for the Axial SCX10 III trail truck is a 4-piece set of brass spring retainer cups. Machined from high-quality material and coming with a black surface finish for wear and looks as well as machined brass edge details, the spring retainers add about 35g of weight to one of the lowest areas of the chassis, thus improving climbing performance of the vehicle. In addition to adding weight the sturdy metal construction also ensures proper seated springs which will add reliability in rough terrain. The spring retainers suit the all-new SCX10 III but also older spec SCX10 kits.

GForce V2 spring rate gauge

GForce from Japan have introduced their new V2 spring rate gauge that allows for easy and precise spring rate measuring. The updated variant allows to pre-set four stroke settings of 2mm, 5mm, 8mm and 10mm, ensuring usability with both on-road and off-road springs that require different stroke values for measurement. The gauge uses a machined aluminium case, it features a laser-engrave size scale and an easy to read LC display to check the N/cm unit spring rate. The devise is usable with springs of up to 80mm in length and it is available in black or blue colour.

Serpent SRX2 Gen3 Carpet 2WD buggy kit

Coming soon from Serpent and based off of the SRX2 Gen3 buggy is a specific carpet variant that will include a gear differential as well as front and rear anti-roll bars. Like the Gen3, the carpet-specific kit is made up using 85 percent new parts, however most of the previous parts are still usable with the Gen3 kits. The car utilises a new chassis that features optimised flex characteristics while accepting optional chassis weights, allowing to adjust the overall weight as well as the weight balance for a wide range of track conditions. Updated side pods, that match the chassis and separated bulkhead supports add to the overall construction. With the use of optional carbon fibre side stiffeners the chassis flex can be fine-tuned to suit the driver’s needs.

RDRP B74 front & rear aluminium differential case

Revolution Design Racing Products have introduced a new aluminium front/rear differential case for the Team Associated B74 buggy. The case is machined from aircraft-grade 7075-T6 aluminium and it sports a heatsink design to further help with heat dissipation. Using the part over the standard composite cage not only improves the precision of the drivetrain, the greatly improved heat transfer also keeps the diff oil much cooler – compared to using the standard plastic case – which results in a much more consistent drivetrain behaviour over the full run; even in high ambient temperatures. The diff case comes hard anodised for wear and looks and it includes a set of suitable inner cross pins for the internal gears. The part fits the B74 buggy equipped with the standard gear differentials.
