Trion have introduced their new low profile carbon fibre shock towers for the Yokomo YZ-4SF buggy.

JConcepts JCI Junior Mortician 12.5″ wheelbase body

Coming from JConcepts is the JCI Junior Mortician body for the Axial SMT10 and similar vehicles. The converted to panel truck body is competition friendly with its compact size and uniquely shaped front and rear fender designs. As a racer, front and rear clearance is important for racing and freestyle competition and the Junior Mortician is tightly compressed to help pull-off the most ridiculous freestyle runs possible. Looking into the eyes of the body shell tells you everything you need to know, a menacing and battle tested beast rests behind those optics. JConcepts created an angular front-end, platform front flares for a vintage feel and a very broad centre grille section to back up promises of massive carnage. The panel truck cab and roof-over section is flat and to the point, the windshield has a slight V-treatment for realism. Maximum imagination to the masses is what this body shell is all about with the large exposure panel areas. The tall panel section is a bonus, an art-board in a sense to decorate, decal or paint however the user desires. Included in each body set comes a clear and heavy-duty polycarbonate body, decal sheet and the paint mask for all windows.

HRC Racing Transporter car bag

HRC Distribution have introduced the new HRC Racing Transporter car bag for 1/8th and 1/10th scale vehicles. The multi-functional bag allows to carry a single 1/8th or 1/10th scale vehicle with the raised side portions capturing the wheels and parts of the suspension, meaning any possible collected dirt stays inside the bag when carrying or storing the bag, meaning trunks, pit spaces or work benches stay cleaner for longer. An incorporated bottom plate provide additional stability to the bag while the patent pending backpack functionality allows to keeping both hands free despite carrying your car. The back measures 46x32cm and it is available from now on.

Xray XT4 2021 4WD stadium truck kit

Xray have introduced the 2021 variant of their XT4 1/10th scale 4WD stadium truck. The latest incarnation of the XB4-based vehicle feature a new, longer main chassis for improved stability while new narrow front and rear suspension mounts make for an updated suspension geometry that provides increased overall traction. To accommodate the new suspension hangers, the front and rear gearboxes have been narrowed to ensure proper clearances. The drivetrain sees the addition of new front, centre and rear diffs that offer an increased oil volume for better consistency in long mains and all-new differential crown and pinion gears, CNC-machined from Hudy spring steel, ensure improved lifespan and reduced noise. Also part of the drivetrain package are new centre driveshafts with 2.5mm drive pins for increased efficiency while new, longer front and rear driveshafts round out the 2021 drivetrain package. Other features include an updated aluminium motor mount for easier pinion gear access, reinforced servo saver ports improve steering precision and a revised rear shock tower allows the attachment from both sides of the gearbox. The kit will hit stores very soon.
