Tekno EB/NB48.4 CVA-style driveshafts
Coming from Tekno are CVA-style driveshafts for the EB48.4 and NB48.4 1/8th scale off-road buggies. The .4 CVAs have been redesigned with an oversized ball joint to reduce wear, resulting in improved consistency. The stock universal driveshafts excel in bumpy conditions but on smoother tracks, CVAs are usually going to yield faster corner speeds, quicker acceleration and reduce weight transfer allowing the driver to grab more throttle earlier in the corner. The new CVA parts must be used together as a complete set of driveshafts, stub axles, CV rebuild kit, and 15x21x4 bearings – all of which are available separately – and are compatible with the EB48.4 and NB48.4 buggies.

Gizmo GZ1 High Traction Conversion Kit
Available now from Gizmo Racing is the high traction carbon fibre chassis conversion kit for the GZ1 touring car. Designed for higher grip and hot weather conditions, the conversion kit uses four aluminium bulkheads and detached side rails as the base for the car. The main area of focus was increased rigidity at the bulkheads in order to provide higher corner speeds in high grip or hot weather. Additionally the newly designed bulkheads move the shock towers to the opposite side of the shocks, allowing for more triangulation of the upper arms which allow for a more rigid structure that is more durable and increases response and durability. The 1-piece bulkheads and carbon fibre upper arm mounts add practically no weight to the car and actually lower the centre of gravity of the the car by moving more of the aluminium at a lower position on the chassis. The rear toe link is also now detached from the upper arm link, leading to easier adjustments and combined with 4-screw access to the diff, the car is now far easier to work on.
RSD BD8 Battery Hold Down System
Reflex Racing have introduced the tape-less RSD battery hold down system for the Yokomo BD8 touring car. The set includes machined carbon fibre battery locators, battery hold downs as well as mounting hardware to equip Yokomo’s latest tourer with a tape-eliminating battery mount. The result are faster and more convenient pit stops while also eliminating any chassis tweak issues associated with using tape to mount the LiPo battery pack.
TLR 22 4.0 Stand-up Transmission Conversion
Coming soon from Team Losi Racing is the stand-up transmission conversion for the forthcoming TLR 22 4.0 SR buggy. Originally introduced with the standard TLR 22 4.0, the 3-gear transmission is designed for the use in lower grip conditions and to replace the SR kit’s low-profile gearbox. Included in the conversion are the new gearbox with motor plate and gear cover, a new idler gear, waterfall, battery mount, wing mount and rear shock tower. The set will hit stores late August.
