Yaiba Racing have released a some new aluminium option parts for the Kyosho RB6. First up is this rear upper bulkhead which allows you to attached 12mm big bore shocks. With this new part you don’t need to add spacers between the shock tower and the pivot ball, giving improved efficiency. A new steering rack gives a more direct steering feel and works best with the aluminium steering bell crank. Both parts significantly improving strength and durability.
Associated have released new Factory Team machined pistons for the 12mm big bore shocks to take performance to the next level. Precision CNC machined pistons allow for the best fitment and concentricity with the shock body to improve handling and consistency. The new pistons are also tapered for independent tuning of compression and rebound. For example, a tapered piston with the taper facing down will travel faster in rebound than it will in compression, allowing the user to tune the rebound and compression movement independently. Available in 2 hole (1.5mm, 1.6mm & 1.7mm), 3 hole (1.4mm) and 4 hole (1.3mm) versions.

Along with releasing their new Virtus Power .21 on road engine, Novarossi have also introduced two new offroad .21 engines, the Keep-Off .21-4 and the Keep-Off .21-7XL. Similar to the Keep-On engine released last year the Keep-Off motors sport the patented new main ball bearing which reduces rotating inertia and increases the engines scavenging. The new bearing features a narrower centre bearing ring than the outer ring, the result of which is increased throttle response and a higher top speed. Both motors, a 4-port and a 7-port comes with ceramic/steel ball bearings but are also available with all ceramic bearings.
Specially designed for the DEX410 range of vehicles, the new Durango DJoint drive shaft system is a product with one valuable racing commodity in mind, efficiency. The DJoint drive shafts feature a double joint in the coupling of each shaft, meaning that each joint works at half the articulation of the conventional drive shaft, increasing the efficiency in which the drive shaft transmits the drive to the front and rear gearboxes. The resulting increase in drive shaft efficiency will in turn directly translate to more forward momentum down at the wheels. Precision machined from strong and durable material, the DJoint drive shaft system will perform under all racing conditions. The DJoint centre drive shaft set includes all the parts required to build a front and rear centre drive shaft for your DEX410 model.
