T-Works have introduced their new aluminium shock standoffs for the SWorkz S35-4 buggy. Machined from high-quality 7075-T6 aluminium and sporting a hard surface coating for wear and looks, the shock mounts are available as 4-piece standard length set and also as 2-piece +5mm kit, the latter allows to lean the rear shocks back which can be beneficial in certain track conditions.

Coming from IGT8 and made for Serpent 1/8th scale cars is the DAO drag assisted one-way set. The system works with silicone oil to increase the internal friction that slows down the motion of the front wheels when being off throttle. This effect will improve braking, steering at corner entry and it will also help with more consistency and faster lap times. Tested extensively by the IGT8 team, the DAO was officially debuted at the 2019 US Nitro Cup with great results as Paolo Morganti took the TQ in the 1/8th class and Rafael Angulo finished 3rd while Ricardo Garri won the Master class.
Coming from Team Associated are new parts for the B74 buggy in the form of stronger steering block arms and updated differential outdrives. Starting with the steering block arms, these are of a new and stronger design. Keeping the original steering geometry, the 2.5mm carbon fibre parts have a larger cross section and radii that greatly improves durability. The steering stop area has been modified to allow for the popular racer modification of grinding the plastic steering stop for additional throw on tight tracks.
Coming from Klinik RC are new optional parts for the TLR 22X-4 buggy in the form of a carbon fibre radio plate and machined POM ring gear bushings. Starting with the radio plate, the set includes a 1.5mm premium woven carbon fibre plate and suitable mounting hardware with the assembly making installation and removal of the radio equipment a breeze. Also new is a 3-piece set of machined POM ring gear bushings that replace the standard parts. Using them will ensure precision and durability of the differential assemblies.

Coming from PR Racing and made for the SB401R 4WD buggy are new -2mm FF and FR suspension blocks. Offering a -2mm track width setting the blocks will increase front end grip, making them ideal especially for tighter, more technical medium to high grip tracks. The suspension hangers are machined from high-quality aluminium and they come black anodised for surface protection and with laser-engraved markings for easy identification.
Made for the Axial SCX10 III trail truck is a new brass differential cover from Yeah Racing. The part is machined from high-quality brass material and it weighs in at 41g, allowing to add weight in one of the lowest areas of the chassis in order to extract more tyre traction and thus climbing performance if needed, all while also adding a bit of stability to the axle assembly. The cover sports a laser-engraved Yeah Racing logo for looks and it will hit stores very soon.
