Arena RC Racing have introduced their new hard top deck for the Xray T4 2020 mid motor touring car. Machined from hard 2mm carbon fibre the top deck offers less torsional flex compared to standard 2mm upper decks, allowing to fine-tune overall chassis stiffness without the need to run a thicker upper deck.

Blitz have introduced their all-new MK9 body shell for 1/10th scale FWD touring cars. The hatchback body fits all 190mm FWD chassis, thanks to being 192mm wide and 125mm of height when mounted on the chassis. The body is available in standard 0.7mm or lightweight 0.5mm thickness and it includes a high downforce rear wing that can be attached in two different positions and heights. The package is rounded out by pre-cut window masks, a decal sheet and wing mounting hardware.
7075.it have announced the release of their new LCG high traction aluminium chassis for the Xray T4 2020 touring car. The full face chassis offers limited torsional flex compared to 7075.it‘s LCG chassis and is ideal for very high traction conditions where it can help to settle down the reaction of the car while countering traction rolling. The chassis offers two milled pockets in the steering area that allow to attach optional brass weights in the lowest possible position, ensuring an overall lower centre of gravity and thus improved cornering in high grip conditions. The chassis comes black anodised, with machined silver edge details and it is available separately or including two brass balance weights.
RC Maker have introduced new GeoCarbon carbon fibre optionals for the Yokomo BD10 touring car. First up is a bumper plate with stopper that sports a stylish, stealth and innovative design. This support contacts the bulkheads and prevents impacts from snapping the main chassis and are very important. The design includes a 5mm brace which sits below the plate, raising it to the correct height and significantly increasing the strength of the whole assembly. Upon resting, there is a 0.2mm gap between the bulkheads and the support, to prevent any rubbing and tweaking. This support will only be active in a crash. This provides the optimal solution to keeping the chassis on the brand new BD10 safe, whilst looking great at the same time.
Coming from Yeah Racing are their new Hackmoto V modified and stock 540-class brushless motors. The motors were designed with performance in mind, as by using oversized copper wires, the internal resistance of the motors has been lowered. Oversized angled copper solder tabs allow for ample space for soldering even large diameter wires and the motor case has been lightened as much as possible to reduce the weight which allows racers to easily balance their cars while helping with cooling. The sensored motors feature aluminium end bells, high-power Neodymium magnets and high-power rotors and they are available as 5.5T, 10.5T, 13.5T and 17.5T variants.
Coming from Awesomatix are several new option parts for the A800MMX and A800FX touring cars. First up is the AM24-20 optional servo holder for the A800 4WD cars in combination with the SB1 single bellcrank steering. The newly designed mount combines the servo and steering holder in one single part. Using the mount offers a more equal chassis flex as the servo holder does not need to be screwed outside of the chassis centre line.
