BMT from Italy have introduced a set of hard-coated aluminium pivot balls for the front suspension of the 984 and 701 kits. The parts are precisely machined from high-quality aluminium, they come hard-anodised for wear and a smooth surface and at 1.3g they weigh in at only 1/3 of the mass of the standard steel balls.

Coming from Italian company BMT is the Evo aluminium main chassis plate for the 701 1/10th 200mm nitro on-road car. The chassis is 1mm longer and it features a stiffer rear area and smaller openings under the engine section for optimised flex characteristics. The updates will result in improved stability and increased corner speeds.

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.
