Xceed have composite gear differential gear sets for Xray NT1 and Serpent 733 1/10th scale gas cars. The precision molded composite gears, combined with light alu shafts, create a lighter and super smooth working gear-differential. The NT1 set needs just the gears and shafts, while the 733 also needs the light steel adapters and small bronze bushings to complete it. For both cars the alu shafts are a direct replacement for the original ones.

Having given you a sneak peek at Pro-Line’s new Tansou 190mm drift body last week, it is now here. With its smooth transitioning fender flares and aggressive stance, the Tansou will put you at the front of the field before you even lite up the tires. Made from durable, genuine Lexan, its actual width is 197mm to match popular 190mm chassis with 26mm wheels and matches rear-toe in for a flush wheel to fender match. Optional wing included, it is supplied with paint then peel overspray film, sticker sheet and window masks.

Having previously shown you the first images of this new car, Hot Bodies have released full details on their all new TCX electric touring car kit. The new narrow bulkhead design coupled with an elongated upper camber link centralizes the weight allowing the chassis to flex and improve handling. Chassis weight distribution is 50/50 keeping racers from having to add weights to balance the car. Less weight equals greater acceleration and reduces breaking distance. The end result is a car that carries maximum corner speed.

Having briefly covered the new EM-3 body from Central last month when it was still in its prototype phase, the Japanese company has now given us more detailed information on this new 200mm shell. Its design offers better stability and steering with improved front downforce, with a lower centre of gravity for reducing traction roll. Available in 0.6mm and 0.7mm thickness, it comes supplied with light decals, window mask and rear wing and will be available the end of May but is not yet EFRA homologated.

Pan car racers can now keep that rear ride height fine tuned with these rear ride height spacers from CRC in 0.25 mm increments. Foam tires wear a little bit each and every run, and now with these nice small steps in ride height, you can keep your car passing tech and handling consistently throughout the entire race day. The 1 mm spacers have been coming with CRC 12th and 10th scale car kits for some time now, and now you can properly complete the set. Each of the trees of inserts are sold separately so you can just get the ones you need, or you can get them in a complete set if you don’t have any at all yet, and/or want to use them on a different brand of pan car. Available in 0.25mm, 0.50mm and 0.75mm versions.
