X-Factory have announced a cool new carbon fibre part to reinforce the rear body clip area of the X-60 body. Because the rear body clips are in a recessed spot, this area is naturally a weak spot on the body, so this new part spreads the stress over a larger area to lengthen the life of the body. The C.F. part bolts onto the existing body and will transfer easily to a new body, so one purchase will last through several bodies for the life of your truck. Supplied with the screws and locking nuts to install it and a drill bit so the body mount holes can be enlarged to accommodate the new part.

Team Orion have developed an entirely new cell to create the largest capacity receiver pack, the Marathon 1900 XL. With the use of powerful digital servos in addition to larger and heavier cars like truggies and monster trucks, higher capacity receiver packs have become a must for nitro fans and only top-quality cells should be used to avoid loss of signal and radio glitches. Maximum capacity is a key advantage in racing and only Team Orion Marathon packs combine extreme capacity with incredible performance. Available in both flat and hump pack configurations, they also come in 1700mAh versions and with a choice of JR or BEC connectors.
