T-Works have introduced a new rear aluminium chassis brace for the Inferno MP10 buggy. Machined from high-quality 7075-T6 aluminium and coming black anodised and with machined silver edge details the brace utilises delrin bushings for the rear bulkhead attachment point that ensures less stress for both the bulkhead and brace, prolonging the life of all parts involved. Included in the set is also gold-coloured mounting hardware.
Coming from VSR Products and made for Tekno RC’s 1/10th scale buggies and trucks are two different height wing raiser shims. Available in 5mm and 7mm thickness the shims will improve rear end grip while also allowing for more consistent cornering. The 3-D-printed wing raisers are available separately and they include longer countersunk mounting hardware.
Available now from Bezerk are carbon fibre front and rear shock towers for the Mugen MBX8 1/8th scale buggies. The range includes a 5.0mm graphite front shock tower as well as standard and high wing rear variants – the latter offering additional mounting positions for the rear wing with the high wing position improving overall downforce and balance. The rear shock towers are available in 4.0mm and 5.0mm thick variants and all three match the standard kit suspension geometry.

Xtreme Racing have introduced their new Speed Chassis kits for the Traxxas Rustler and Slash 2WD trucks. Extending the wheelbase and offering multiple battery layouts – including dual standard-length 2S, 3S and 4S packs – the chassis kits were designed to allow the building of extreme speed racing rigs. Available as carbon fibre or G10 fibre class variants, both include a main chassis, top deck and ESC mount, battery strap holder, battery straps, small and large standoffs as well as steering posts and servo mounts. Not included however are the needed donor Rustler or Slash trucks.
Hobbywing have announced the release of their new XeRun V10 G3R electric brushless stock motor. Building on the proven V10 G3 the “R” variant offers further enhanced performance thanks to a 13.3 percent increase in torque, a 6.5 percent increase in RPM and up to 8.6 percent of overall power gain. In addition the internal resistance could be lowered by 11 percent while efficiency was increased by 6 percent, resulting in greatly reduced operation temperatures. At 139g the motor is also very low of weight – thanks to a highly machined aluminium heat-sink design can – making chassis balance adjustments a lot easier. The ROAR and EFRA spec motor is available in 13.5T to 25.5T stock winding variants with the 13.5T to 21.5T motors utilising a 7-12.5×25.2 rotor with optional rotors being available to fine-tune the motors’ power characteristics.
Element RC have announced the release of the Sendero utility bed for the use with the stock Sendero cab trail truck body shell.

Constructed of plastic and high-strength polycarbonate, the Sendero utility bed is both lightweight and durable. The set includes the 5-piece construction, clear polycarbonate floor, and all needed hardware.

The lower front wing, or scoop, is an option to the 4WD vehicles that has shown to produce enhanced steering characteristics in large sweeping sections and that can help with jumping attitude in the tricky track sections. The package includes two lower front wings on the same mold to give the user multiple parts in the same package. The front wing can be painted, left clear or frosted for the desired look, fit and finish.
