Savöx Germany introduce the waterproof SW-1210SG standard size servo. Actually being slightly taller than what is considered “standard size” the 42mm high servo offers 20kg-cm of torque and a speed of 0.15s at 6.0V input. It features metal gears and a coreless motor making it ideal for all heavy duty applications such as monster trucks and generally all cars where torque is needed over speed and the slightly taller case is not an issue.

New from RPM comes this front shock tower for the Team Associated T4.2, SC10.2 and SC10B. Designed with the main goal of having a part with maximum crash survivability, the tower offers a ribbed structure surrounding the vital areas that needed support. This rib, combined with RPM’s renown nylon material, helps to let the shock stay withstand even the harshest forms of bashing and racing.

Exotek Racing introduce new low roll centre aluminium suspension mounts for the Team Durango DEX210 buggy. Available are a RF Hanger with shims, and two LRC mounts with standard or +0.5° toe-in setting. Starting with the RF mount, the part allows to use a 2mm lower roll centre with 0° or 1.5° kick-up or the standard roll centre with 0° or 1.5° kick-up by adding the included shims under the hanger. The easy shimming option does away with the need to disassemble the whole rear end of the vehicle only to change the roll centre or kick-up settings. The set is machined from 7075 aluminium, comes anodised and works with the DEX210 alloy chassis, DIMEC type A or the optional Exotek chassis both in MM and RM configuration.
