G-Force Xtrada 1:10 4WD Buggy

Having shown some pre-production images of it Xtrada 1:10 4WD Buggy back in May, Japan’s G-Force has just officially announced the release of its all new kit which it says is a 2-belt drive 4WD chassis reminiscent of legendary race-winning cars.  The drive system is paired with a rear mid-motor and vertically mounted battery layout, a setup that delivers fierce traction and an ideal weight balance, achieving the perfect harmony between controllable steering and unbeatable rear stability—two traits rarely found together.  Supervised by Masami Hirosaka, the newly designed body, with its rear-shifted cabin and pronounced side volume, adds both visual impact and aerodynamic functionality.  Equipped with big bore dampers, long-span front and rear suspension arms, and a slipper clutch, the XTRADA adapts to everything from dusty tracks to high-grip tracks with ease.  Describing the Xtrada as ‘a true neo-classic buggy’ it adds it is ‘a nostalgic throwback for veteran RC drivers, and a fresh, exciting discovery for the new generation.’

Revolution Design Tungsten Battery Weights

New from Germany’s Revolution Design come these two Tungsten Battery Weights.  The Shorty Battery Weight is a precision-ground 0.5mm tungsten plate that adds 42 grams of ballast directly beneath any 95 mm shorty LiPo pack.  Because tungsten has a density of about 19.3 g/cm³—more than twice that of brass (≈ 8.5 g/cm³) and steel (≈ 7.8 g/cm³) – the plate can be less than half as thick as common 1–1.2 mm brass or steel alternatives.  The lower profile lets the battery sit roughly 0.7 mm deeper in the tray, dropping the car’s centre of gravity for crisper turn-in and more stable landings on high-grip tracks. Machined edges and a matte finish give the plate a premium look, while the raw tungsten resists corrosion without additional coatings.  Using the same 0.5 mm tungsten architecture as its shorty sibling, the full-length 2S stick pack Tungsten Battery Weight adds a concentrated 60 gram exactly where racers want it, under the LiPo and as low as mechanically possible.

JConcepts Injection Molded 1:8 Buggy Front Wings

Having unveiled its new option of injection molded front wing in the early part of the 2025 racing season, JConcepts ups the ante once again with their latest item bringing additional focus to an area of the vehicle that is overlooked.  The front of the vehicle is often covered with a nose cone or item which can be painted or decorated to match the body shell paint or scheme.  The front wings or scoops available in polycarbonate have since taken over providing some functional consideration to vehicle performance.  The polycarbonate versions are often left clear or scuffed, but with new injection molded option, many colours are available to match.  The durable nature of the material, the tall side dams built in conjunction with lower front lip gives the front-end benefits in high-speed turns, and sweeping sections.  On most vehicles, it simply attaches using an existing screw or set of screws located on the front-end. In some instances, it might be necessary to source a 3mm BHCS to accommodate or mount to a vehicle.  On the Xray models, it’s necessary to mount the bracket item to the shock tower first, then install and secure the JConcepts item to the new mounting bracket.  The new range of injection molded front wings covers Mugen, Team Associated, Tekno, Sworkz, and Xray.

R1 Wurks LD3 -3mm Carbon Fibre Rear Shock Tower

R1 Wurks has released this -3mm variant rear shock tower for the Schumacher LD3 2WD buggy.  The lowered upper shock mounting position effectively reduces rear suspension up-travel, improving chassis stability and cornering performance when using smaller-diameter tyres commonly run on high-grip carpet and turf tracks.  The tower is manufactured from high-quality carbon fibre and precision-machined to ensure rigidity and consistent suspension feedback.  It is available in two premium finishes – Matte Forged and Gloss 3K Plain Weave.
