Italian company BMT has introduced a hard suspension arm set for the 984 1/8th on-road car. Moulded from a harder compound the arms offer increased stiffness compared to the standard parts which results in improved handling and precision when running in high grip and/or high temperature conditions.

BMT have produced this new rear shock tower for their 984 1/8th scale chassis. The new tower offers an additional position for mounting the rear shock absorbers. Made from high quality carbon fibre, the way in which the tower is mounted to the bulkhead helps provide more flex to the rear assembly thus helping to provide more traction.

Coming from BMT and made for the 701 kit are the +1 steering block inserts. Machined from aluminium and coming with a natural finish the insets allow to adjust the king pin angle which can be a useful tuning option in certain track conditions. Depending on the orientation the king pin angle can be increased or decreased by simply flipping the inserts.
Coming from BMT and made for the 016GT flex chassis are new aluminium or brass reinforcement bars. The parts were designed to fit into a respective pocket in the front end of the chassis and using them is meant to improve overall rigidity which can be beneficial in certain track conditions. While reducing flex the brass part also adds 15g of weight which will help to calm down the front end in lower grip conditions. The bars are available separately from now on.
Italian company BMT has introduced new option parts for the 016GT 1/8th on-road car. First up is a new aluminium main chassis plate that is made using a different grade material. The updated chassis will produce more overall traction while improving handling at the same time. Also new are front lower arm mounts in +2mm specification. The parts raise the suspension attachment point by 2mm which results in a lowered roll centre which is meant to improve steering especially on lower grip tracks. Also new and made for the front of the 016GT is a front bulkhead brace for improved steering emphasis while new 2mm front bulkhead spacers allow to change the front dynamic camber. Last but not least comes a new 17T 1st gear pinion.
New from BMT for their 701 and 984 platforms come these option parts, beginning with this brass battery support. Adding an additional 50 grams to the 984 it can be used to fine tune the car’s balance and is a direct replacement for the original part. For the 701 there are two different pairs of wheel hubs in -0.75mm and +0.75mm versions as well as updated reinforced engine mounts.
