New from Avid come aluminium wing buttons for 1/8th off-road buggies and trucks. They are CNC-machined from high quality aluminium and come with black or hard-anodised olive finish and are designed to make for secure and aerodynamic wing fitment. The serrated bottom prevents the button from twisting wing wraps causing the lamination to separate from the decal layer. The serrated teeth also grip the wing firmly so over-sized wing holes are less of an issue. The buttons come with 12mm button head screws and a mini decal sheet.

Xray introduce their all-new XT9 nitro competition truggy kit. Making use of the winning pedigree of the long-running XT8 platform the new truck features many design elements known from the XB9 buggy combining them to the soon-to-be-released XT9. The truck is based on a newly designed 3mm 7075-T6 aluminium chassis that features a new weight distribution and accommodates a repositioned centre differential. Machined pockets underneath the fuel tank, engine and diffs reduce the weight to a minimum without sacrificing overall rigidity. A redesigned radio compartment sees the receiver battery box for straight-pack LiXX and NiXX batteries in a forward position beside the steering servo while the receiver box is located opposite of the engine.
