Roche have introduced a new option part for the P12 Evo 1/12th scale pan car kit in the form of a -0.5mm lower centre pivot mount. The set includes a centre pivot mount machined from Delrin material for smooth suspension movement while the matching pivot ball mount is made of black anodised aluminium. Both parts are compatible with the optional sliding design lower pod plate and due to their -0.5mm roll centre specification, they make for increased rear end stability and reduced steering in the middle and exit of a corner.
Coming from Samix and made for the Axial SCX10 III trail truck is a new adjustable weight brass differential cover. The lid is machined from heavy brass material and replaces the original item, adding strength and weight if desired. The cover weighs in at 47g, however by using an additional C-shaped weight, another 5g can be added to further up overall weight and thus traction. The cover fits with the front and rear axle housings and it is available from now on.
Available now from Xpress and made for the XQ10 and FT1 touring cars is the new V2 variant of their Xpress On-Power Control System XOC. The reactive rear toe control system was developed to change car behaviour at the corner apex by adding or removing toe from the rear wheels during chassis roll and thus suspension compression. The finely adjustable system can add in-corner stability or rotation if desired and it is easily adjustable. The set is usable with the Xpress Execute XQ1, XQ1S, FT1, FT1S, and XQ10 kits and it includes specially cut hard composite arms that allow for the same wheelbase adjustments as the regular non-XOC rear arms. Also included are red anodised aluminium rear steering hub knuckles, 3mm suspension pins and mounting hardware.
Coming soon from Kyosho and made for the Mini-Z MR-03 chassis are new aluminium steering blocks with built-in 1 degree wheel camber. The parts are machined from high-quality aluminium and their design gives 1 degree of wheel camber which allows to adjust the front end setup to certain track conditions. The steering blocks utilise steel wheel axle shafts, inserts for the kingpins and they come laser-engraved for easy identification.

Yokomo have introduced new brass balance weights for the BD10 touring car. First up is an in-line brass weight that is installed between the motor mount and the battery. It weighs in at 20g and allows to up the overall weight of the chassis without sacrificing weight balance. The weight is mounted using double sided tape which allows for swift and easy attachment and removal. Also new is a 6g motor balance weight. It fits right into the mirrored pocket opposite the motor and it allows to optimise the left/right balance when running lightweight or low-profile battery packs. A special shape ensures the natural chassis flex is not disturbed.

Coming from T-Works and made for the Tekno RC NB48 2.0 buggy is a diaphragm shock cap set. The caps are machined from high-quality 7075-T6 aluminium and they come black anodised for improved wear resistance. The design of the shock caps allows to use the included volume compensating rubber diaphragms whose two hardnesses allow to further adjust shock rebound and thus the behaviour of the buggy in various track conditions. Included in the set come four shock caps, a total of eight rubber diaphragms as well as four shock cap bushings.
