Black edition MyLaps transponders

Team Associated have introduced black edition MyLaps lap counting transponders. The Hybrid (2-wire) transponder is the same size and features many of the same specs as the RC4 transponder, but it is backwards compatible with older decoder boxes. This transponder does not support car ID numbers. It is compatible with all AMBrc2 decoder boxes and MyLaps RC3 and RC4 decoder boxes. The RC4 (3-wire) transponder is the latest in the line of transponders from MyLaps. The RC4 transponder supports car ID numbers so you can have the same transponder number in all your cars, with a different ID for each. The RC4 transponder also gives additional telemetry data such as voltage to the transponder and transponder temperature each time the loop is crossed. This transponder will only work on RC4 decoder boxes with version 4 firmware or higher.

RDRP Ultra brass shorty battery weight 30g

Revolution Design Racing Products’ new 30g Ultra brass shorty battery weight is machined from high-quality brass material and it comes in a black and golden finish for cool looks. The plate can be used in pretty much every vehicle that accepts shorty-style LiPo batteries and it comes in handy to fine-tune the weight distribution or to add weight when using lightweight low centre of gravity shorty packs. The plate also lowers the car’s overall centre of gravity for improved cornering performance on both low and high grip surfaces.

Xray XB2 & XT2 carbon chassis side guard braces

Made for their XB2 and XT2 series of off-road vehicles are Xray’s new carbon fibre chassis side guard braces. The parts install to the front side guards and allow to fine-tune chassis stiffness by using different amounts of screws to fasten them to the lower composite chassis guards in order to create soft, medium or stiff settings. The braces are machined from high-quality fibre material and include new moulded upper plate connectors.

Sweep Racing have announced the release of their new V5 1/8th buggy rim. It is of a -0.6mm offset design compared to the previous V4 rim and also features 1mm lower inner ribs for an overall softer wheel that provides improved traction on bumpy surfaces while also making the inserts slightly softer.

MCD IBS internal bypass shock system

MCD Racing from Turkey have introduced their all-new IBS internal bypass shock absorbers for their range of off-road and on-road large scale kits. An industry first in the large scale scene, the dampers feature a fully working piggyback reservoir that that acts as a volume compensator for the overflowing oil as the shock absorber compresses. Valves allow for precise compression and rebound control with the compression and rebound circuit featuring auto-adaptive dual-way check valves that allow the oil to by-pass independently. The all-alloy shocks come anodised for looks and wear, they are adjustable externally and come as 64mm or 47mm stroke off-road and 26mm stroke on-road variants.

Agama emulsion shock caps & A215 SV arm stiffeners

Coming from Agama are new emulsion shock caps and carbon fibre A-arm stiffeners for the A215 SV buggy. Starting with the shock caps, they allow to run the shocks in a non-vented, vented or emulsion-style setup, the latter being a hot ticket on tracks with big jumps and heavy landings, in addition to tracks with looser surfaces. The set includes four shock caps, seals and sealing screws and it is usable with all Agama buggies and trucks.

HB Racing D817 V2 1/8th nitro buggy

Available now from HB Racing is the D817 V2 1/8th nitro off-road buggy kit. The V2 includes a new moulded nylon rear wing that is both lightweight and durable and HB Racing also added their latest narrow rear shock tower that has been a favourite among their team drivers for its more useful range of adjustment. Also included is a new machined aluminium centre chassis brace that strengthens the centre section of the car, and an updated chassis with countersunk mounting holes for the new brace. The machined aluminium 17.5 degree front caster blocks have been strengthened for improved durability. New aluminium steering linkage spacers replace the plastic spacers for improved bumpsteer geometry, more precise adjustment, less flex, and HB Racing also revised the screw lengths to accommodate the new spacers. Other updates include a new flywheel that allows fitment of the latest generation of nitro engines, and the brake linkage now uses O-rings for improved reliability and more adjustability than springs. Lastly the V2 kit is topped with a clear JConcepts Silencer buggy body, just like the one that David Ronnefalk used to win the IFMAR World Championship.
