Corally have introduced their new SGX gear diff for the HMX M1 which they claim offers efficiency superior to any other other gear diff. Conventional gear diffs run on inefficient straight bevel gears which drops in performance as the loads increase as they tend to bind resulting in an unstable car on corner exit. The SGX diff offers consistent uninterrupted diff action providing maximum traction and control. They also offer an optional configuration of the diff that allows it to be used with other touring cars such as Tamiya or Hot Bodies.

TeamSR have announced the release of redesigned XB4 shock towers. Not just a typical carbon copy of the original stock part, TeamSR have redesigned the thicker towers to be more durable with an aesthetically pleasing shape. The XB4 Shock Tower Set comes with both the front and rear towers and included hardware to install on the kit. The carbon is constructed from 4mm thick quasi-isotropic chassis grade carbon fiber. Both towers come with pre-glued wet look edges to cut down on the much dreaded preparation time.

3Racing have released their new Sakura 54mm touring car shock which has been given a complete overhaul in terms of design and materials used. Can be used on most high performance touring cars thanks to the long 11mm shaft stroke, the new 7075 hardened aircraft grade aluminium shock body complete with PTFE coating gives the shock body the smoothest operation and superior durability. The newly designed shock cap now includes a bleeder hole for easier release of excessive shock fluids while the spring preload adjuster has been given a hex shape instead of the usual round shape for easier grip. The pistons and shaft liners have been upgraded to CNC machined POM for the best fit and durability and complimented with titanium nitrite coated shock shafts for the smoothest stroke actions.
