New from CSO comes two option parts for the CSO One and Xray T4 touring car in the form of a flexible lower deck and an all-alloy spool axle kit. Starting with the main chassis plate, the part is CNC-machined from 2.25mm carbon fibre and designed to fit the CSO One and the Xray T4 touring car. Large milled out sections and the waisted design make for a more flexible chassis ideal for both low and high-bite conditions in order to gain more rear traction out of the corner and to overcome traction rolling issues when turning in. The second new part is the all-aluminium hardcoated front spool set for CSO One, Xray T3/4 and the E4RS2 line of Team Magic cars. Sporting a machined aluminium 38T pulley, spool body and outdrives the axle has to be used with CSO’s optional plastic caps for the driveshafts and makes for a more solid drivetrain when needed.
Tekno introduce new option parts for their EB48 8th electric buggy and the SCT410 short course truck in the form of redesigned gearboxes, stub axles and servo horns. Starting with the gearbox, the part is slightly angled upward to minimise the drive angles and increase efficiency. Furthermore, this helps to reduce wear on the driveshaft for increased longevity. New larger and optionally available 5x13x4mm bearings also help to increase durability.

Following the Grayseal conversion kit for the Team Associated B44 buggy Azarashi now also have a respective kit for Kyosho’s ZX-5 SP2 buggy available. The set is developed around a new upper and lower carbon fibre chassis that makes use of a 2S shorty-type LiPo battery pack over the conventional 2S saddle packs for a lighter and better handling buggy. The longer 293mm wheelbase helps to calm down the vehicle without scrubbing corner speed or agility. The motor and speed controller are now located on the right side of the chassis opposite of the battery pack. Lighter components such as the steering servo and the receiver found a new home in the front of the buggy. Include in the set are the upper and lower chassis parts made from carbon fibre, a carbon battery strap, new servo mounts, longer centre driveshafts and hardware.

Avid is busy adding more option parts to their range of after market parts. First up is the motor centering kit for Team Associated’s B4.2, T4.2 and SC10.2 line of off-road vehicles as well as the respective predecessors. The parts are designed to overcome the imbalance issue often associated with the vehicles that are heavy on the left rear, which also makes an imbalance on the front tires. By shifting the motor, motorplate, and slipper 5mm towards the right, the balance is restored close to 50/50 for a more predictable handling. Along with the improved balance also goes a 6.7g weight saving. The set includes a 5mm aluminium spacer, 5mm slipper spacer, and stainless steel mount screws.
