From Schumacher and made for the Mi6 touring car comes an adjustable LiPo mounting set. Fully adjustable battery retainers allow the battery position to be moved forwards, backwards, left and right while also completely eliminating any battery play on the chassis. The set offers the ability to achieve a perfectly left/right balanced car with all battery weights, in addition to the possibility of adjusting the weight distribution of the Mi6. The battery tape also no longer runs underneath the chassis, making it more user-friendly when checking for chassis tweak. The set fits the Mi6, Mi5Evo and Mi5.

Coming from Xray and made for the RX8 1/8th on-road car are optional anti-roll bar wires. Manufactured from a special spring steel and coming laser-etched for easy identification the shape of the wire was re-worked to suit the new front suspension geometry. To the standard 2.6mm wire now add thinner 2.2mm and 2.4mm variants for low-grip as well as a thicker 2.8mm wire for very high-bite tracks.

Coming from Yokomo and made for their BD7 touring car are pre-assembled 44mm rear driveshafts with aluminium dogbones and a 1-piece 44.2mm FR suspension mount. Starting with the driveshafts, the new parts greatly reduce the drivetrain’s rotation masses thanks to replacing the heavy steel dogbones with lightweight aluminium ones. A new lightweight clip design further reduced the overall weight, resulting in improved throttle response. The 44mm units come pre-assembled and they are usable in the rear of the car.

Available soon from Hobbywing are the all-new Xerun 4268SD G2 and 4274SD G2 1/8th scale brushless motors. Designed especially for the use with the Xerun XR8 and XR8 Plus brushless controller, but also usable with the sensored speed controllers of other brands, the motors feature a built-in chip that allows the speedo to identify the motor in order to maximise the performance while allowing for smoother overall control. Also in combination with Hobbywing’s own controllers Turbo functions as known from the 1/10th scale boosted ESCs are possible in order to extract the maximum performance from the motor. The 4-pole motor is housed in a black anodised aluminium heatsink case with bi-directional timing adjustments, allowing to fine-tune the timing independent from the direction of rotation. Other features include an advanced, patented hall senor system for improved reliability, a 4-pole 8-magnet staggered pole low-cogging torque rotor as well as an O-ring sealed sensor port and gold-plated solder tabs. The 68mm long 4268SD G2 motor is available as 1600kv, 1900kv and 2600kv variant for off-road and on-road applications as well as longer 74mm version with 2250kv rating for off-road trucks.
Ruddog have introduced their new aluminium clamping servo arms.
