Kyosho have introduced a titanium turnbuckle set for the Inferno MP10 buggy. Machined from high-quality material the links will reduce unsprung wight for quicker steering response and more efficient suspension action while offering improved corrosion resistance at the same time. The set includes front and rear upper links, steering tie rods and a steering servo turnbuckle.

Revolution Design Racing Products have introduced their new +5mm 7075 aluminium chassis for the ultra-popular Team Associated B6.1 2WD buggy. The main plate adds 5mm of length for an easier to drive car especially in high-bite track conditions such as carpet and astro turf, allowing to pull faster single laps while offering greater consistency over the whole run at the same time. In addition the chassis will also improve handling on bumpy surfaces where the main plate will ensure improved stability. The chassis is machined from aircraft-grade 7075-T6 aluminium for strength and optimised flex characteristics while the black anodised surface ensures high durability and factory looks. Machined silver edge details and laser-etched RDRP logos make the part stand out. The main plate fits the B6.1 and B6.1D kits and is usable with most “under servo” and “under electronics” weight kits.
Yokomo have introduced their new 34g shorty battery weight for the use with off-road buggies, drift and 1/12th scale pan cars. Machined from 1mm steel material and coming with a black surface coating and laser-engraved Yokomo logos, the plate allows to add weight in the central part of the chassis and when running lightweight battery packs.
Reds Racing from Italy have introduced their all-new ZX Pro 160A 1/10th scale brushes speed controller. The no-compromised ESC was developed with the input of Reds Racing’s international team of factory drivers and it features an updated firmware with new algorithms for throttle and brake control that result in the smoothest possible throttle and very strong brake feeling. At 95g including wires the controller is also lighter than the previous version while offering new programming functions. The speedo features a built-in power switch and programming port, it utilises a switchable 6V/7.4V BEC system as well as a 30mm fan unit. The ZX Pro is available separately, including programming box or Z-Line motors.

Coming from Darkside Designs are new carbon fibre shock towers for the Yokomo YZ-2 and the Kyosho RT6. Starting with the Yokomo-related shock stay, the short turf/carpet rear tower was developed for the use with YZ-2T front shock bodies and it is made of 4mm carbon fibre. Using the shock tower will lower the overall centre of gravity for quicker cornering in high-bite track conditions.
SWorkz have introduced their new Velocity 2.0 lightweight body shell for the S14-3 buggy. With the help of a new moulding technology the body is about 40 percent lighter compared to the standard shell, helping to lower the overall centre of gravity, improve corning in high-bite track conditions and also helping with acceleration. The body comes made of high-quality polycarbonate material and it includes a front tower wing, window masks and a sticker sheet.

Hudy have introduced their all-new pure tungsten balancing weights. Made from rare pure Tungsten material, known for its very high density and thus heavy weight, the 5g and 10g weights are a lot smaller than conventional brass or steel balance weights, allowing for easier placement and a cleaner layout. The super small weights also make for lower centre of gravity thanks to their low-profile design. The weights are available separately in 5g and 10g specification.
Coming from Xray and made for the XT2 stadium truck is a 95mm rear driveshaft with 2.5mm cross pin. Made from Hudy spring steel the shaft offers exceptional durability while still being light of weight. The 2.5mm cross pin design ensures a long lifespan and the driveshaft is recommended when using Xray’s adjustable #325002 ball diff.
