Arrowmax have introduced two new Graphene Pro series competition LiPo battery packs in the form of the 8200mAh TC and 6200mAh TC low-profile battery. Both are made from high-quality 65C/130C cells with the 8200mAh variant being 25.1mm high at a weight of 320g while the 6200mAh low-profile pack offers a lower height of 22.5mm at a weight of 288g. The standard voltage 7.4V batteries both offer an extremely low internal resistance for maximised voltage output and they are available now.
Xpress have introduced a carbon fibre bumper support plate for the Execute XQ1 and the forthcoming XQ1S touring car. The part is machined from high-quality cabin fibre and it is a direct replacement for the standard moulded composite item. Included beside the upper plate are also suitable bushings and mounting hardware.
T-Works have introduced a range of lightweight aluminium wheel nuts for the Mugen MBX series of buggies and GT cars. The wheel hex adapters are machined from high-quality 7075-T6 aluminium and they come hard-coated for wear. Excessive machining greatly reduces the overall weight for lower rotational masses while adding a bit of visual impact at the same time. The wheel hubs are available as a 4-piece 0mm offset set and also as 2-piece +1mm or +2mm sets that help to increase the track width when conditions call for it. All three types are usable with kits such as the MBX8, MBX7/R, MGT7 and MBX6.

Schumacher have introduced the new Contact Grip-R, a specially formulated tyre additive for rubber tyres for both carpet and tarmac conditions. It is a thin-style additive which is very good in low to medium traction conditions. Thinner additives have been finding favour on tarmac on the new style rubber tyres such as the Rush 32/36 and the BRCA Sweep tyres and this additive is an ideal solution to provide that extra grip. The tyre sauce comes in a large 100ml bottle with sponge applicator.

Coming from Team Powers is their limited edition on-road car stand that is an updated version of their already available carbon and aluminium car stand. Changes made include an aluminium top plate for an improved appearance and the included turnbuckle wrench is now of an aluminium design rather than carbon, making for improved durability. All other features, such as an arrangement of setup tools like chassis blocks, a droop and a ride height gauge are understood to remain unchanged.
