T-Works B74 stainless steel chassis protectors

T-Works have introduced new stainless steel chassis protectors for the Team Associated B74 buggy. Made from high-quality material the skid plates improve chassis protection when running on highly abrasive surfaces or when racing on tracks with large jumps. The plates come as separate 2-piece sets for the front and rear and the plates also add some weight to the lowest point of the chassis which comes in handy to further lower the overall centre of gravity for high-bite surfaces.

Xtreme Racing Infraction & Limitless CF options

Coming from Xtreme Racing and made for Arrma’s popular Infraction and Limitless on-road high-speed bashing cars are several carbon fibre optionals. First up are carbon fibre front and rear shock towers that were designed to replace the standard aluminium shock stays. The parts are machined from high-quality 5mm carbon fibre and they mimic the standard suspension geometry. The shock towers are available separately from now on. Also new is a 3mm carbon fibre front splitter for the Limitless speed car. It replaces the standard plastic part for a less flexible and better looking item.

X-Grip STX.6 & T4 Dynamic Body Lever

European X-Grip distributor Mikimodel has introduced the new dynamic body lever, an option part for WRC STX.6 and Xray T4 touring cars that attaches to the car’s suspension and that helps to make body movement independent from chassis movement. The body lever is 3-D-printed from high-quality material and it was designed to attach between the suspension C-hub and upper camber link ball. A knurled nut adjusts the distance between the platform and the body shell so the body is resting on the platform, ensuring the front body height and ground clearance maintains constant even under chassis rolling and suspension compression. It is required to allow the front of the body to float on the body mounts which can be achieved by simply attaching the retaining body clip one or two positions higher than usual. The part weighs in at only 1.3g, meaning virtually no additional unsprung masses.

RC Maker MMCX AFEP floating carbon plate

RC Maker have introduced a carbon fibre variant of their AFEP floating electronics plate for the Awesomatix A800X MMCX touring car.

The new plate is a direct fit on the AFEP system for the MMCX, replacing the brass plate. The new carbon plate is also now available in a set and it comes CNC-machined in Australia from high quality 3K gloss carbon fibre.

Infinity introduce new IF18 parts

Ahead of next week’s 1/8th Onroad World Championship in the USA, Infinity has released a number of new parts for their IF18. A new hard front arm made from a harder material than the standard kit version offers sharp steering, a characteristic preferred by expert drivers. Another update on a standard kit part is the hard rear bushing set. Its use increases the rigidity of the suspension and improves corner speed. For down stop adjustment in the front and rear lower arms, new M4x8 round top set screws are available. The tip has a smooth round shape, making it difficult to damage the contact area with the main chassis.
