T-Works have released this chassis balancing tool set. Designed to fit any chassis with pre-drilled balancing holes in the front and rear, they help to achieve perfect left-to-right chassis balance. The stands are machined from aluminium, they feature a black surface coating and are further machined to reduce weight, with the pins made from steel. Sold as a pair they come in a foam lined plastic case.

Factory Pro RC have released this body stop system for the Xray T4’21. Very similar to the stock part, it is mounted to the c-hub and the carbon plates height are height adjustable. However the these versions are topped off with a much larger volume top header with foam pad to give the body shell maximum support and reduced damage at the point of contact. Supplied with two pairs of headers, two carbon plates and large foam pads.
Sunpadow announces the launch of this Platin series 3.7V 8000mAh pack which is an ultra-thin, low centre-of-gravity lithium battery for racing. Specially developed for the 1/12th modified class, which consists of 8-minute races, it features a large capacity, weighs just 159 grams and is 93 x 47 x 18.5mm. Excellent discharge capability ensures a stable voltage supply for racing, especially for the last one or two minutes of the race, where the voltage is usually very low, minimising the risk of any shutdown of your electronics, which is caused by excessive instantaneous voltage drop from the large current output in 1S applications.

Add protection to your 2wd Slash street eliminator with Exotek Racing’s heavy duty alloy, carbon fibre and foam bumper set. Details include a heavy duty alloy and carbon fibre mounting base that secures the extra wide high density foam bumper. Inside the foam bumper are 3 alloy posts for extra secure foam bumper mounting.

For the Tamiya TC-01, T-Works have produced these 54mm front and rear centre CVDs. Machined from 7075-T6 aluminium, they weigh only 9.2 grams, compared to the steel versions from T-Works at 11.74 grams. Making for a more efficient drivetrain, they are now lighter which improves performance by lowering the rotating mass.

Xpress have released a complete FWD version of their Execute XQ10 featuring a FWD drivetrain combined with a more centrally located centre of gravity. By moving the centre pulley, the motor has been moved forwards as well, putting more weight forward and changing the weight balance. Combined with a purpose shaped chassis deck, which is the result of extensive testing, combined with shorty LiPos offer the best chassis flex. Retaining the screw holes which allow for the installation of the rear T-Plate, this lets you limit the amount of rear flex as well. The topdecks also have Xpress’ signature flex elimination design integrated which allows you to further fine tune the chassis flex.

For the Tamiya TC-01 from Yeah Racing comes this ball raced aluminium steering rack. More durable thanks to its construction from 7075 T6 aluminium and more precise due the materials used and the reduction of flex in this area, resulting in the car having a more direct steering feel.
