Exotek have introduce two heavy duty aluminium servo arms for the TLR 22 range of off-road vehicles. Machined from 7075-T6 alloy the servo arms are much stronger than the original plastic items, making for greatly improved durability and steering authority. Designed to use the stock TLR 4/40 ball end the servo arms are also of a clamping design for added security even when the servo screw comes off.

Xray XB8E 2016 1/8th electric off-road buggy kit

Xray have announced the 2016 variant of their XB8E 1/8th E-buggy kit. Building on the successful XB8 platform the 2016 kit makes use of many of the improvements and refinements introduced with this year’s XB8 nitro buggy, such as an updated suspension package, a new chassis and some redesigned drivetrain parts. Starting with the chassis, the 7075-T6 aluminium part makes for an optimised weight balance thanks to being 4mm shorter to move the weight forward. A more narrow front end is meant to improve steering while the rear and is wider for increased stability. Excessive machining keeps the weight of the 3mm plate at a minimum. Part of the new chassis package are also updated side guards that are mounted from above as well as newly designed chassis braces with the rear one allowing to mount an optional graphite brace to stiffen the rear end.

MIP have introduced the Bi-Metal Super Diff kit for all TLR 22 vehicles.

The weight reduction will make for quicker spool-up and acceleration especially in stock classes. Included in the set are also Tungsten Carbide diff balls and MIP’s rebuildable machined aluminium T-nut as well as hard polished drive rings and small parts. Needed for completion of one diff is only the original TLR diff gear.
