Coming from Lit R/C Products are their new carbon fibre shock towers for the Tekno RC NB48 2.0 buggy. The towers are machined out of matte 3k twill carbon in 5mm thickness and they match the stock shock position geometry, however the front tower offers additional camber link positions and they are of a thicker and stronger outer profile to be more durable. The towers also have small chamfered edges to help prevent delamination. While adding a bit of visual impact the towers also are ten to 12 grams lighter than the stock towers for an overall lower centre of gravity.

Tamiya have announced the soon release of their toe control rear suspension set for the TRF420 competition touring car.

The amount of toe change is adjustable using different amounts of shims under the rear hub plates or by attaching the rear hub plates in an upper or lower position. The set includes the aluminium rear hub assemblies, carbon fibre hub plates as well as aluminium turnbuckles and hardware.
