The Robitronic Dirtbags help to keep the trunk or back seat clean as they are designed to enclose the most dirty parts of off-road vehicles such as the tyres and chassis. The synthetic fabric the bags are made of are easy to clean with water and soap and even prevent water and oils so sip through. The bags are available in four sizes for Crawlers, 1/8 scale buggies, 1/8 scale truggies and monster trucks as well as large scale vehicles.
Serpent announce new option parts for the Cobra 1/8 scale off-road buggy and truggy in the form of aluminium uprights, a Cobra-Be hard anodised chassis plate and titanium shock bolts. The aluminium V2 left and right uprights are CNC-machined from aluminium, come specially coated and include Delrin bushings to use the smaller bearings of the Cobra buggy and truggy. On the Cobra-Be the original larger bearings are used. Made for the Cobra-Be in question is the new 3mm hard anodised aluminium chassis. CNC-machined from 7075-T6 aluminium and specially coated the new 3mm chassis withstands rutted tracks better. It also is slightly stiffer than the original chassis to add another tuning option. The third new part are the lower shock bolts machined from titanium and light of weight. The are useable on the whole line of Cobra kits and come as set of four.

Sweep Racing are pleased to announce the release of the V3 Dish wheel for 1/8 scale buggies. Sporting a weight of 34 gram at a diameter of 83mm the wheels are both strong and light. Although very light, they are also exceptionally strong and measure the maximum diameter of 83mm. They also feature ten ribs to provide a rigid structure to prevent excessive flex and create a very true running wheel. The gluing beads have a sand paper like finish to improve bonding performance with the tires without additional preparation. An additional glue path on the gluing beads keep the glue from overflowing out of the bead and prevents an overflow into the insert.
