Infinity has introduced an optional aluminium body mount spacer for their IF18 1/8th nitro on-road chassis. Used together with the optional 1-piece carbon mounting plate, the spacer offers extra body post stability and is available in both silver and red.
1up Racing have introduced their new carbon fibre body washers for 1/10th touring cars. They increase the lifespan of the body and do away with annoying scratches and scuffs from the body mounts as they attach to the inside of the body using 3M extreme adhesive tape. Even as the body ages the mounting holes will remain perfect and crack free and they use easy peel-and-stick application. The washers are only 0.25mm thick and a set of four weighs less than 0.5g. 6.5mm inner diameter fits all popular 1/10 touring cars. 1/12 and 1/8 on-road variants are at a later stage as well as 1/8 off-road pieces with feedback from Ryan and Louis Cavalieri.
Xray have announced the release of their X1 2019 1/10th formula car kit. The 2019 variant of the IFMAR World Cup winning car received some subtle updates to make the popular platform even more durable and also easier to work on. First up are new front lower suspension arms that were reshaped for improved durability, they are of a harder material for less flex and allow to adjust the front track width for a narrow or wide setting. The old-style arms are still usable and act as a tuning option for low-grip tracks for hard hand out tyres. To make maximum use of the new track width settings the 2019 kit also comes with two upper arm mount plates for tyres like Hudy and Volante. An updated aluminium servo mount rounds out the front suspension package as do new, softer C=2.0 front springs that are an all-round option for both carpet and asphalt tracks.
