Coming from BMT is their new 801 GTX conversion kit that includes new front and rear aluminium bulkheads as well as many other parts. The conversion was developed to replace the enclosed standard composite gearboxes with new open-type alloy variants that offer greater stiffness, easier diff access and other advantages. Included in the set are the new bulkhead halves, a new shock tower, anti-roll bar as well as a new rear body mount.

BMT have introduced their new 801GT Pro 1/8th nitro GT kit. Despite the known 801 name the GT Pro is a complete redesign with only the gearboxes and fuel tank taken over from the previous car. Both the chassis and suspension components have been redesigned to suit the needs of competitive GT racing and the kit includes a hard-anodised 7075-T6 alloy main chassis, a carbon fibre radio plate as well as front aluminium CVD axles, steel crown and pinion gears alongside a full set of high-quality ball bearings. 4mm thick aluminium shock towers ensure precise suspension movement while big bore aluminium shock absorbers are keeping the wheels on the ground. Other features include front and rear anti-roll bars, dust-proof RC and receiver boxes, an additional battery box for weight bias adjustment and also a 984-specification 2-speed gearbox for exceptional traction.

Italian brand BMT have introduced their new Evo rear end conversion kit for the 016GT 1/8th GT car. The set does away with the standard pivot ball upper arm in favour of a system similar to 1/8th on-road kits, using a separate turnbuckle. The new geometry will make for increased dynamic caster values and thus smoother cornering mid corner, improved steering and less front tyre wear. The assembly is also lighter which optimises the car’s weight balance. The set includes the updated rear hubs, upper links as well as bulkhead covers and adjustable carbon fibre upper link mounts.
BMT have introduced a front gear differential for their 016GT 1/8th GT car. The complete kit includes metal internal gears, outdrives and hardware and it is best used in combination with the short universal drive shafts.
