Kyosho have introduced an inner tube roll shock set for Mini-Z vehicles using the MZW309 aluminium motor mount. This inner tube shock can control the damping of roll movement independently from the pitching movement and the damping effect can be adjusted by changing the viscosity of the grease applied. The set includes a carbon fibre damper plate, composite roll dampers and precision machined hardware.

The alloy parts come black anodised for wear and looks and also included are wheel axle ride height inserts.

T-Works have introduced a set of brass rear hub A and B inserts for the Kyosho Inferno MP10 buggy. Machined from heavy brass material the inserts are a replacement for the standard composite parts and they help to add unsprung weight to the suspension, something that can help to gain traction in low-bite track conditions and on bumpy parts of the track. The hubs come laser-etched for easy identification and the set includes two A and two B inserts.
Coming from 7075 Special Parts and made for the Kyosho Inferno MP10 is a set of aluminium rear hubs. Machined from high-quality 7075-T6 aluminium and coming with a hard-anodised black-colour finish for wear and looks, the hubs offer improved durability compared to the standard parts and they are usable with the kit’s eccentric inserts and bearings.
Kyosho are busy adding more Inferno MP10-related option parts to their portfolio. The latest is a hard spring type servo saver assembly. The construction consists of composite bellcranks and it built using a hard retainer spring that ensures a crisper steering reaction in high-bite track conditions. Using the servo saver requires heavy duty steering servos with durable metal gears in order to prevent the servo from becoming damaged. The servo saver set also fits the older MP9 series of kits.

Kyosho have introduced a titanium turnbuckle set for the Inferno MP10 buggy. Machined from high-quality material the links will reduce unsprung wight for quicker steering response and more efficient suspension action while offering improved corrosion resistance at the same time. The set includes front and rear upper links, steering tie rods and a steering servo turnbuckle.

Coming from Darkside Designs are new carbon fibre shock towers for the Yokomo YZ-2 and the Kyosho RT6. Starting with the Yokomo-related shock stay, the short turf/carpet rear tower was developed for the use with YZ-2T front shock bodies and it is made of 4mm carbon fibre. Using the shock tower will lower the overall centre of gravity for quicker cornering in high-bite track conditions.
Kyosho have introduced two new RC Planning R246 aluminium motor mounts for the MR03W and MR03 RM Mini-Z cars. First up is the MML low motor mount for the MR03W MM-type 98mm wheelbase cars. The motor pod allows for axle ride height and fine gear mesh adjustments and it requires additional parts such as the MML roll damper/oil damper set, 2mm narrower rear wheels and the LM differential shaft. Includes in the set come the hybrid aluminum and carbon fibre rear power pod, rear axle inserts as well as an aluminium motor mount.
