BF Materials from Italy have announced the release of new carbon fibre option parts for the Agama A319 1/8th scale buggy. First up is a rear shock tower that utilises the original kit geometry, however precision machined chamfers ensure great durability for demanding track conditions. Other new parts include a carbon fibre front upper steering plate, a steering Ackermann plate as well as 1.5mm front and rear arm inserts.
Coming from BSRC and made for the new Agama A319 buggy is a carbon fibre fuel tank splash guard. Machined from high-quality carbon material the splash guard attaches using optional M3x8mm hardware and M3 nyloc nuts and it keeps the brakes and air filters from getting fuel on them during hectic pit stops.
Coming from Australian brand BSRC are carbon fibre arm stiffeners for the Agama A319 buggy. Designed to fit the soft and hard arms, along with the T-Works titanium droop screws, the stiffeners give the car a nice smooth feeling during cornering and help with corner speed in high grip conditions. Available in different thicknesses of 1.0mm, 2.0mm, 2.5mm, and 3.0mm, the inserts come with M3x8mm countersunk stainless steel screws and they are available now.
Nemo Racing have introduced a set of 3mm carbon fibre front arm stiffeners for the Agama A319 buggy. To be used with the 31002-S soft front A319 wishbone and made of a stiff and durable 3mm carbon, the inserts stiffen the soft wishbone in high grip/warm conditions to offer the best balance between performance and durability.

T-Works have announced first option parts for the new Agama A319 1/8th scale nitro buggy. The range includes a lightweight 7-piece titanium turnbuckle set, a 150-piece UFO head titanium screw kit as well as 173-piece gold-colour steel screw set. The titanium parts are cut from high-quality 64-grade titanium for a low weight and high strength, ensuring a lower overall car weight and greater corrosion resistance. The gold-coloured steel screws however mainly add visual impact, allowing the ride to stand out.

RC Carbon Cavalieri have announced the release of their carbon fibre front scoops for many of today’s 1/8th scale off-road buggies.

The scoops are available from now on for many Agama, HB Racing, HoBao, Mugen, Serpent, SWorkz, Team Associated and TLR kits.
Agama Racing Australia have unveiled first images of Agama’s new A319 1/8th nitro off-road buggy kit. Pre-production kits have already been send to the team and were used over the weekend with good results. Official details and information will become available in time for the release which is scheduled for sometime this June from what is understood. Update: In the meantime UK Agama distributors Nemo Racing have released first information on the specification and features. The new buggy chassis plate features a new shape at the front and rear, the rear has more torsional flex whilst still remaining longitudinally stiff, the front of the chassis has also been more angled to offer better clearance from the tyre at full lock as well as more roll clearance in long sweeping turns. The chassis is also narrower to provide a lower overall weight whilst keeping the overall width and driving characteristics associated with that. The chassis also no longer has the holes in the bottom of it, because the gearboxes are now mounted higher.
MIP has completed its line of 1/8th scale Bypass1 off-road pistons and now include sets for Agama, JQRacing, SWorkz, Tekno and Xray. Featuring colour-codes valves, the Bypass1 pistons combined together with these valves allow to control and maximise the car’s performance based on which valves used. Thicker valves generate a slower rebound and thinner valves get quicker rebounds. Each set includes four pistons and a set of three different valves. The Agama set includes 6+2 pistons, the JQRacing specific sets consists of 6+6 hole pistons, the SWorkz kit includes 6-hole pistons, the Tekno set is a 6+6 hole variant and the Xray compatible set also includes 6+6 pistons. The set will become available by end of July.
