Axon in Japan have produced these new wheel hub axles for the BD10, T4’20 & TRF420. Designed to dramatically improve traction, they do so on all 4 wheels by integrating the wheel hub with the car’s own axle shaft to create a direct connection from the drive shaft to the tires. Having the wheel hub axle now run on the bearings requires that the bearings of the front knuckle and rear hub be changed from a 1050 to 1060. The new bearing size, along with the smaller gap between the bearings due to the use of a smaller spacer between, further reduces rolling resistance as well as load on the bearings.

LCG Racing offer this new carbon brace for their Yokomo BD10 and the Xray T4 2020 SFX conversion kits that helps to further stiffen the motor mount longitudinally. The carbon brace makes the motor mount more rigid and also doubles up as a battery stopper with increased area. Additionally by minimising flex the longitudinal stiffness helps with corner speed and give the car a more direct response. The lightweight brace is made of high quality carbon fibre, features the engraved SFX logo and comes in either the SFXY Yokomo or SFXX Xray version.

Arrowmax introduce their new ball-bearing ‘BB’ DJC driveshafts. The double jointed driveshaft provides high performance characteristics over standard blade-type driveshafts. Featuring ball-bearings in the drive cups, the pin slides in perfectly to reduce free-play and thus increases longevity. The reduced friction also helps to increase acceleration and cornering speed. Available for the Xray T4 (52mm & 53mm), the Yokomo BD10 and Serpent X20 they come in a set and drive cups will be included.
New from Team Yokomo, comes this graphite plate for mounting the electronic equipment in the YZ-2T. Also suitable for use in the DTM3 & CAL3, the tray is lightweight and also has a higher rigidity than standard resin trays, which enables smooth cornering by reducing any unnecessary tweak in the front end.
New for the Yokomo line of 1/12th scale cars, comes this set of rear wheel hub screws from T-Works. Made from high quality titanium, with a machined head, these lightweight M3x6mm screws come in a set of 6 pieces and are supplied with the corresponding Allen key.

New for the Yokomo YD-2 series, these new aluminium I-arm’s are for use on the front upper arm of this car. They allow the caster angle to be adjusted within a range of 7mm to the front or back by moving the position of the included spacers, which is a larger range than standard and by including 1mm spacers you can also make smaller adjustments than standard. Despite being made of highly rigid aluminium, the I-arm shape makes the part as light as possible. When changing from the standard plastic part you must use the D-155 series rod end adapter. Available in anodised red, black or purple, they sport the Yokomo logo etched into the top of the part.
