Some new items from Zeppin Racing who have released these 7075 aluminium 4.5deg (L+R) caster blocks for the Associated TC6.1 which have an enlarged opening in the centre.

Zeppin have also produced a 26T pulley for the Mugen MTX5, which is made of hard coated high quality 7075 aluminum. It has been lightened for minimizing weight.

Serpent Cobra diff internal gear-sets & tire bands

Serpent have released a new internal gear-set that fits all Serpent Cobra gear differentials. An improved gearmesh / tooth-shape creates an even smoother diff-action than before and testing so far has showed that when using the new gears you need to use at least 2000 cst heavier oil than before. This will make the diffs run more consistent, also during those long finals. Serpent have also released these strong orange tire bands for gluing of 1/8 buggy and truggy tires. Strong, durable, flexible rubber bands, with strong tabs for extra grip they come in a pack of 4.

Roche body height adjuster & TRF417 ARB mount

Roche have introduced two new items for touring car, the first is this set of aluminium body height adjuster, the idea for which came from factory driver Elliott Harper. The adjuster makes it easier to adjust the height of the body shell, from 0-5mm. There is a 1mm o-ring inside the adjuster so that it will not change height during use. Three colours are available, blue, purple & titanium, to suit all cars with a 6mm body post. Also new for the Tamiya TRF417 is an aluminum anti-roll bar mount. CNC-machined from 6061 T6 aluminium, the roll-bar is centered by a 4mm rod stopper and the tension on the roll bar is adjusted by the 3mm set screw on both sides of the holder. With perfect alignment and a harder material than the original plastic material mounts, the roll bar will always function freely.
