Already in production and available for sale in 3 weeks, this is an indispensable product to enable the installation of LiPo batteries on a chassis originally designed to be used with NiMh batteries only.

Designed for the Lightning 2 buggy Series, and other 1/8th scale buggies, Hot Bodies have introduced these all new Big Bore Shocks. With a larger shock body, wider pistons and more oil, the shock absorbers have vastly improved damping characteristics over standard-size buggy shocks, and the all-new design makes them easier to work on with long times between rebuilds. The shock bodies are threaded for quick changes to the ride height using a knurled purple-anodized adjustment nut, and the upper shock bladder helps keep the oil clean and rebound levels consistent. An o-ring sealed, threaded bottom cap secures the bottom of the shock from mud and dust, and dual silicone o-rings with a super-soft rubber boot help too. The shock shaft uses a locknut to keep the 6-hole shock piston in place. A full set of shock pistons with 1.3, 1.4 and 1.5mm holes is included, plus mounting hardware to bolt these puppies right onto any Lightning or other 1/8th rallycross buggy.

More new products from Exotek Racing who have released this MXT extended wheelbase conversion for the Team Losi Mini-T. Claimed to add instant handling, the extra long wheel base causes the stability to be greatly enhanced while maintaining the off road worthiness thanks to the moulded tub chassis. The fibre reinforced chassis is strong, lightweight and allows the right amount of flex for better rough track handling, while a centralised battery location further balances the handling.

Mugen Seiki have announced the release of these new gearbox parts for the MTX-4R 1/10th scale chassis. Sold separately, but designed to be used together, the only difference is the use of 4mm balls for the gearbox mechanism, in place of 3mm versions used originally. This makes for a more stable shift between gears and to accommodate these new balls the gearbox shoes have been modified and are therefore new.
