Coming from Moto-Obscura and made for Losi’s Mini-T 2.0 truck are heavy duty lower suspension arms. They maintain the stock suspension geometry but are much stronger than stock. The 3-D-printed arms are available in several colours, allowing for further customisation of Losi’s popular mini truck.
Coming from Desiles Aero are new aero option parts for the Shepherd Velox V8.2 on-road kit. First up is an extra long rear body mount arm. These arms are 2.7mm longer than the original part in order to increase the height of body. It does away with the need to put a piece of foam onto the rear body mount as some drivers do. Using the longer arms will ensure all downforce produced by the rear of the body is transferred directly to the wheels. The parts are 3-D-printed and allow the attachment of another new part, the optional arm wings. The latter were designed to improve rear downforce and traction at all speeds, making for a more planted ride. Like the body mount arms, the wings are 3-D-printed and they are a direct fit to the above body mount arms.
Element RC have announced the release of printing files that allow to 3D print engine parts for the Enduro trail truck and other scale rigs. The engine parts set includes eight pieces that can be printed from your 3D printer, or purchased from Associated Electrics’ Shapeways 3D print shop. The engine is designed to be modular so that it can be customized and it is symmetric with both left and right halves of the motor. The servo winch can be used with no modification and the engine cover is designed to work with solid axle trucks. In addition the components are designed to be lightweight so that it does not negatively affect the chassis CG. The engine parts set includes the engine block, valve covers, intake, air cleaner, timing chain cover, fan, and harmonic balancer. Also available is a file to print the engine radiator. Not included are items such as wire plugs, radiator hose, valve cover breather bolt, and assembly hardware.

Coming from Kyosho and made for the Ultima 2WD vintage re-release buggy is a front and rear anti-roll bar set. The kit includes front and rear swaybars as well as all needed mounting hardware, making the set a direct fit. Using the anti-roll bars will reduce overall chassis roll when running on high-bite surfaces, improving overall stability and making for a more planted ride especially when using grippier tyres.
