New from Agama for the A319 and A319e are these 20/10 Internal diff gears. 20/10 internals make the car feel like it has more forward traction and is very good in medium to high grip conditions. They also produce increased corner speed and in turn produce faster lap times in these conditions. Comes with enough six gears to complete one single differential.

Nemo Racing USA and Agama have announced that Broc Champlin has joined their factory race team for 2021. Broc will be running the Agama cars under the Nemo Racing flag at events all over the country. Nemo USA boss, Billy Tylaska said ‘We are super stoked to have an ace driver like Broc join our team. Broc was put firmly on my radar at the 2019 ROAR Nationals when he had a long nice battle with Ryan Lutz in the main final. Excited to see what he will do with our cars and can’t wait to get out there with him.’ And from Broc about inking this deal:
I am ecstatic about being able to run for Nemo Racing and Agama in 2021. Billy Tylaska has helped me a ton getting started and I found a groove with the product very quickly. The C-Hub catches my eye so I chased what I felt would be the best. Multiple brands now have that either as their standard, or an option. The Agama cars are very easily tuned and drive like Cadillac’s and that is exactly what I want and need in order to better myself in the 1/8th scale department. I believe in all of the platforms, the staff, and myself, that I can do great things with Agama Racing Products. Thank you everyone at Nemo Racing, excited for 2021.

Having just added the Agama A319 to their line-up of Vision buggy body shells, Bittydesign has now added a version for the A319E. The lid’s design will offer an easier to drive and more balanced feeling thanks to a mid-advanced cab, side pod and rear side flaps shape that optimises the aerodynamic characteristics. In addition a flap behind the engine area guides the air towards the rear wing for a smoother and more directed airflow around the shock tower and lower wing mount. The pre-cut body is moulded from high-quality 1mm Lexan polycarbonate, it comes with window masks, overspray protective film and a decal sheet.

RudeBits have announced the release of their new vented and grooved brake discs for the Agama range of nitro off-road vehicles. Made from hardened steel for long wear and featuring a drilled and grooved design for improved cooling and thus less brake fading even in long mains, the rotors are also about 20 percent lighter than the standard parts for reduced drivetrain masses and hence better acceleration. While adding to the overall performance the stoppers are also looking the part and they are available from now on.
