Klinik RC have announced the release of their new wing saver buttons for all popular 1/10th off-road buggies. Made in house at Klinik RC from 3mm carbon fibre, the wing shims feature a unique 3-step and pocketed design, making them super light, while adding some bling and ensuring the rear wing lasts much longer.
ST Racing Concepts have introduced their CNC-machined aluminium rear bumper mount eliminator brace for the Traxxas TRX-4 trail truck. Designed for drivers looking to have a cage-style body setup the bumper eliminator brace gives the TRX-4 a clean look while providing more strength and rigidity to the rear part of the chassis rails. The part is available black, blue, red, gun metal and silver anodising.
Merlin McFly have introduced their new topdeck for the Serpent X20 touring car. Designed by Lennart Skornia, the new upper deck has been optimised to improve the flex characteristics of the chassis in high traction carpet conditions as it reduces the overall torsional flex of the chassis both front and rear resulting in easier and more consistent lap times. The flex can be adjusted by either using screws or removing them from the top deck. The parts can be personalised or customised upon request.

European SWorkz distributor MW RC Cars has introduced new carbon fibre optionals for the SWorkz S35-3 and S14-3 buggies. Available are a carbon fibre front shock tower for the 1/8th scale S35-3 as well as a carbon fibre battery brace for the 1/10th scale S14-3 buggy.

Arrowmax have released first teaser images of their forthcoming new Medium FWD chassis conversion for 4WD touring cars such as the Xray T4, Yokomo BD9 and Serpent 4X. The sets will allow to convert existing all-wheel drive touring cars into competitive FWD cars that sport a mid-motor layout for optimised agility and handling while a heavy brass front bumper plate ensures exceptional traction in most track conditions. Full details will become available very soon.
PPM RC Racing have introduced the RC-Cox carbon fibre bumper brace for the Xray T4 2020 touring car. Machined from quality carbon fibre the brace sits atop the upper bumper plate and will touch the front bulkhead in the event of a crash, limiting the bumper’s movement and thus preventing the chassis from getting damaged. Included with the brace comes a pair of shims that make the brace float at the correct height.
Rêve D from Japan have introduced their new line of super precision machine cut SPM titanium screws. The titanium fasteners are cut from high-quality material for a low weight and exceptional stability and durability and they are available in several variants including 2-piece servo screw sets, 2-piece motor mount screw kits, a 2-piece wing mount set, as well as 4-piece M2x5mm cap and M4x8mm set screw kits. The servo mount screws allow for secure servo mounting as the 4.3mm diameter flange fits snuggly into most servo case lugs, ensuring the servo will not move under load. The 7mm long motor mount screws allow to fasten the motor without using additional shims as they offer a 7mm head section for improved reliability of the whole assembly. The wing mount screws offer a 7.8mm head diameter and they are of a low-profile design, making them ideal for touring and drift car body shells. The M2x5mm cap head screws are usable for most clamp-type wheel hexes, adding bling when the tyres are off while reducing unsprung weight. Last but not least come the M4x8mm set screws that are usable as droop screws in many applications, reducing unsprung weight and adding corrosion resistance.
Yeah Racing have announced the release of their new carbon fibre upgrade set for the MST RMX2.0 drift car. The set replaces all of the original plastic parts with matte finish carbon fibre items that optimise the chassis’ flex characteristics while adding visual impact. Cutouts in specific areas further fine-tune the overall flex which leads to improved grip during cornering. Included in the set are the lower main chassis, the split top deck, front and rear shock towers as well as mounting hardware.
