Coming soon for the recently announced Losi Mini-T 2.0 is a range of aluminium option parts to increase the performance, durability and appearance of Losi’s latest mini-size ride. The range includes a front pivot block, a bellcrank and drag link set, 0 degree caster blocks, a rear hub set, a rear pivot block set, a front brace set, servo mounts, front camber blocks, rear hex-style adapters, threaded body front and rear shock absorbers as well as front and rear spring sets. Also available, from Horizon Hobby’s Dynamite brand, is a 6000kV motor and ESC 2-in-1 combo that sees the speed controller integrated into the motor case. All parts will become available in time of the Mini-T 2.0 release.
Kyosho have announced the soon release of two new balance weights for the Ultima RB7 buggies. First up is the 28g LDW rear weight that was designed to be mounted under the lowdown gearbox of the RB7 and RB7SS kits. Using the part will shift the weight balance toward the rear, increasing rear traction when running in low to high-grip track conditions. Also coming soon is the 32g battery weight that will slide under the battery, upping the overall weight when using standard or LCG shorty battery packs. The higher weight comes in handy in a variety of track conditions as it can calm down the ride over bumpy parts of a track while countering traction rolling on high-bite surfaces. The weight comes laser-engraved for easy identification and it is usable with both the RB7 and RB7SS.

Coming from T-Works and made for the Mugen MBX8 series of kits are new aluminium suspension mounts. Machined from high-quality 7075-T6 aluminium and coming as F, RF and RF+2 mounts, the suspension hangers sport a black surface coating and machined silver edge details as well as laser-engraved logos and markings for easy identification. The suspension mounts are usable with the standard MBX8 suspension inserts.
RC Maker have introduced their new GeoCarbon wing mounting solution for touring cars. Developed for serious racers, it is designed to protect the wing, and wing strut in crashes, as well as provide maximum downforce and efficiency from the wing. The “L” shaped design can be switched to left and right to fit different bodies and wing positions, and offers rearward and outer wing chord support. Flexing of the wing in high speed straights and corners can lead to unpredictable handling. This is due to the wing folding back, but also, when the wing folds back the sides of the wing lift up to even further increase the detrimental impact. Our side facing supports minimise this lifting, which also in turn minimises flexing of the wing backwards. This creates an overall more stable wing in every direction! Also included is an adjustable carbon fibre support for under the bodyshell. This clamps the wing and body between two pieces of carbon, providing more support and stiffness. It can be shifted forward or backwards to suit different bodies and wing positions. The set is complete with two lightweight alloy screws and two lightweight alloy nuts to provide a lightweight, stable solution to mounting the wing.
Team Associated have announced the release of a total of twelve new Factory Team option parts for the Reflex 14B and 14T ready-to-run cars. The range includes front and rear aluminium shock towers, 10x19mm and 10x25mm threaded aluminium shock bodies, blue anodised upper and lower shock parts, front and rear 10mm spring sets, a graphite battery strap, as well as an anti-roll bar set, silver titanium turnbuckles, aluminium wheel hex adapters and a metal driver gear set. Using the parts will not only add visual impact but also a lot of durability to the mini-size off-road vehicles.
Samix have announced the release of their new brass forward adjustable battery tray for the Element RC Enduro trail trucks. The black coated and laser-engraved part weighs in at 176g and it is suitable for standard and shorty-type LiPo battery packs. The construction shifts the weight bias of the truck further towards the front end for improved climbing performance, however it requires the use of Samix’s END-6068 or END-4068 front bumper mounts to make it fully work.
Coming from T-Works and made for the Kyosho MP10 1/8th scale buggy is the +2 RF2 rear-front suspension mount. The mount allows to fine-tune the rear suspension geometry and it comes machined from high-quality 7075-T6 aluminium while sporting a black surface coating and machined silver edge details. The suspension hanger was designed to work with the standard MP10 suspension inserts and it is available now.
