Kyosho MP10 titanium turnbuckle set

Coming from Kyosho and made for their MP10 1/8th off-road buggy is a titanium turnbuckle set. Machined from high-quality titanium material for a low weight, exceptional durability and best possible corrosion resistance the links were designed as a direct replacement for the standard steel items. Using the Ti parts will lower the buggy’s overall weight and unsprung masses for improved suspension efficiency. Included in the set are seven turnbuckles for the camber links, the steering as well as the servo link.

LMR Brake Balls brake linkage cushions

Nemo Racing from the UK have introduced the new LMR Brake Balls, specially-designed cushions for the brake linkages of nitro off-road kits. The rubber parts are used on the brake linkages, between the brake cam links and the brake collars as demonstrated here. The brake balls improve brake consistency, reliability and overall feeling while making the car brake smoother and improving braking over surface changes and bumps and reduce the risk of brake grab. They will stay consistent over time and not fatigue like other methods. The kit includes two black balls, two red balls, and eight O-rings. The developers state that the black balls are slightly harder than red and that they are best used in warmer conditions.

Leadfinger Racing A2 Tactic YZ-2 & SRX2 Gen3 bodies

Coming from Leadfinger Racing are the new A2 Tactic body shells for the Yokomo YZ-2 and the Serpent SRX2 Gen3. Like the A2 Tactic bodies before, the bodies have an added roof vent that allows for better cooling for today’s sensitive electronics. Running cooler has its advantages and feeding cool air directly over the power house is a welcomed upgrade. Behind that, LFR has designed a top fin that joins into a rear swoop for added stability and increased rear down force. The combination of the two help give the buggies a balanced and precise feel during mid corner rotation and on power exit. The bodies come including two pre-cut Tactic wings, window masks and stickers and suitable nose scoops are sold separately to further enhance overall steering and performance.

JConcepts 22X-4 F2 body shell

JConcepts have introduced their new F2 body shell for the TLR 22X-4 buggy. The initial F2 design quickly proved effective on the ground and in the air. Designed with aspects learned from the original Finnisher bodies, the F2 provides an even more aggressive look with included details which remain crucial to performance and it is a drop fit for the popular TLR 22X-4 buggy. With the evolution of racetracks, complicated circuits combining more aggressive jumps and extremely high-speed corners, JConcepts incorporated many features which provide several benefits in the most critical situations. Increased windshield angle provides a steady force upfront during mid-flight wind gusts on large jumps. Forward cab placement changes performance/visible bias which help steering rotation in low traction corners. The side-pods have been simplified and JC chamfered to remove unwanted changes in height to neutralize the at-speed handling. The rear of the pod has been lowered giving a low-profile look. The front of the body has the Finnisher step-down treatment giving the 22X-4 first in class styling. The rear of the cab has the Finnisher V-step feature which allows the placement of a secondary side window and several louver options off the rear. The F2 body in the hands of Dakotah Phend won the 2020 Midwest Championship and JConcepts Winter Indoor Nationals. The JConcepts body is designed exclusively for the new 22X-4 platform and includes all the necessary cut-lines and each package includes the S-Type wings. Additional S-Type wings are also sold separately.

Xray XB8 & XT8 aluminium high torque flywheel

Xray have introduced their new lightweight aluminium high torque flywheel for the XB8 and XT8 nitro kits. The Swiss 7075 aluminium 3-shoe flywheel helps to increase acceleration and improves throttle feeling. Strategically lightened compared to the standard #358532 flywheel, the lightweight variant does not sacrifice strength or durability. The highly polished and thus very smooth flyweight pins are factory-attached and the knurled outer edge makes for easy starting on the starter box and an integrated cover prevents dirt from entering the engine bearing.
