Coming from T-Works and made for the Team Associated RC8B3.2 is a carbon fibre centre gearbox plate. The part is cut from high-quality carbon fibre and it is a direct fit to the centre bulkhead of the nitro-powered RC8B3.2. Included in the set come two metal bushings for the brake cams, ensuring improved durability of both the brake cams and the carbon plate.
Coming from T-Works and made for the Team Associated RC8B3.2 buggy are three new carbon fibre option parts in the form of a receiver box plate, a receiver battery box plate as well as servo spacers. The carbon fibre receiver box and receiver battery box covers are direct replacements for the standard composite items, offering a low weight and streamlined looks. They can be attached using standard hardware and come as separate items. Also new and machined from 2.5mm carbon fibre are carbon fibre servo spacers. They attach to the radio tray posts and lift the throttle servo by 2.5mm when not running the respective radio tray or transponder mount plate, replacing the standard moulded parts. The precision-machined spacers come in sets of two.
Traxxas have introduced their new heavy-duty roof skids for the X-Maxx monster truck. Just like the company’s heavy-duty suspension arms, the new roof skid plates use a very tough composite material, offering just the right amount of flex to resist breakage – even in cold weather. The accessory skids protect the roof during rollovers and come in six dynamic colours for custom designs. In order to install the roof skid on the X-Maxx, owners will also need to install the Traxxas #7713X rear body support. The new rear body support replaces the existing support and provides bosses to attach the roof skid.
Made for the SWorkz S35-4 1/8th scale nitro and electric buggies are Answer-RC’s new carbon fibre lower arm stiffeners. Machined from high-quality 1.5mm carbon fibre and being a direct fit, the stiffeners were developed to reduce arm flex when running in high-bite track conditions, providing optimised traction and precision while also keeping the arms cleaner, preventing the build-up of debris. The stiffeners are available as separate sets for the front and rear of the buggy and they include mounting hardware.

Coten Escuderia Racing from Spain have introduced their new Visco-Test shock absorber checker. Developed, designed and manufactured in Spain, the gauge was created to check the shock absorber action and performance both during compression and extension while also allowing to measure length, assembly quality and spring hardness. In addition any sort of tweak can be pre-set if neccessary. The tool is made of high-quality 7075-T6 aluminium and usable for both on-road and off-road shocks of up to 75mm in length.
