RC-Mission have introduced new aluminium rear driveshaft dogbones for the Xray T4 and Yokomo BD7. Machined from high-quality material and coming with a hard-anodised surface the dogbones reduce the drivetrain’s rotational mass, resulting in quicker spool-up and improved braking. Both the 50mm Xray and 44mm Yokomo dogbones are a direct fit and they come in sets of two.

Active Hobby Products have introduced their progressive shock system for the TA07 Pro touring car and other kits using long TRF shocks. Making use of a common system the set includes two inner tubes with triangular cut-outs and plain shock pistons with the cut-outs allowing the damper fluid to bypass the shock piston for a progressive damping characteristic once the shocks start to compress. The set includes two tubes and pistons usable both on the front or the rear of the car.
Serpent have introduced new optional parts for the Natrix 748 1/10th nitro touring car in the form of a brass front suspension bracket and lightweight aluminium driveshaft parts. Starting with the front suspension bracket, the part is machined from heavy brass material to add weight up front and very low in the cars which helps to counter traction rolling in high-bite track conditions. 29g heavier than the standard alloy bracket the brass part is best combined with the sliding brass chassis weights and it is a direct fit on the 748.
