Made from a special foam the water-cut rings offer a better fit and therefor improved protection compared to the original part.

Avid introduce the Triad B44.2 spacer to allow the use of the Triad slipper clutch in the latest Team Associated B44.2 buggy. As B44.2 bulkheads are shifted 6mm farther apart the spacer goes behind the Triad slipper to compensate the longer slipper shaft from a B44.1 to a B44.2. The Triad clutch is meant to calm the car down and gives a smoother throttle feel than the kit VTS item for added setup possibilities.

Team SR introduce new weighted front bumpers for the Team Associated B4 and the TLR 22 platforms. Starting with the B4 variant, the front bumper is designed to replace the kit’s moulded plate with a 21g heavy and nickel-plated piece in order to adjust the weight balance of B4, T4 and X-6 cars. The special surface not only looks the part but also eliminates corrosion to make the part looking like new for a long time. The TLR 22 bumper is zinc-plates and a direct fit on the 22, 22T and 22SCT. Both plates help to mount needed weight as low and as forward in the vehicle as possible.

The RDRP 210 Series Low-Roll-Center Suspension Mount Set is specially designed for the Team Durango 210 series vehicles including the DEX210, DEST210 and DESC210. The LCR suspension mounts lower the vehicle’s rear roll centre by 2mm in order to improve handling on medium to low-grip surfaces or when running spec tyres. Included in the set are the RF suspension mount as well as three RR mounts in the form of the 0/3, 1.5/3 and 3/3 variant. All parts are machined from aircraft-quality 7075-T6 aluminium, come black anodised and laser-etched for easy identification and a cool factory look. The blocks are a direct fit on the recently announced Plus11 DEX210 Aluminium Chassis. DEX210 buggies with standard or aftermarket chassis and the DEST210 and DESC210 may require some do-it-yourself work in the wishbone/chassis area in order to give enough clearance for the arms.

Pro-Line introduce a new Bulldog body shell for the World Championship winning Mugen MBX-7 buggy as well as colour variants of the pre-painted Flo-Tek short course body. Starting with the MBX-7, the Bulldog Gen 3 clear body shell features a larger and higher swoop on the front side panels for more front down-force. The rear section of the roof has been angled off for a new look and to allow more air to get to the cooling fins on the motor. The Gen 3 body also has a raised rear section behind the motor to increase the balance of traction front to rear for more traction on any surface. The body come clear, including window masks and decal sheet. Also new are three colour variants of Pro-Line’s recently introduced pre-painted Flo-Tek SC body.
