Muchmore Racing have released this tyre additive applicator pen, for use with any brand of tire additive or tire cleaner. Easy-to-use, tyre additive applicator features a pen type tip, while the opposite end sports a screw on lid for filling the pen. The body of the applicator features a place to write down the name of the substance in use along with a protective film so it doesn’t come off.
New from RDRP are these aluminium front and rear shock towers designed for the B74 4WD off-road buggy. They match the standard kit geometry but are of a heavy duty design for durability and stability, increasing suspension efficiency and precision also thanks to the high-quality aluminium material they are machined off. As they match the stock dimensions they are a direct replacement with no setup changes needed when swapping parts over. In addition the high amount of machining, including silver chamfered edges, makes for a visually pleasing appearance while keeping the parts’ weight low. Both the front and rear tower come black anodised for looks and surface protection.

Serpent have introduced a new optional rear differential housing made for the European Championship winning Natrix 750 platform. The housing and pulley has been cast from ‘Arrowspace Magnesium’. Claiming to have constructed the perfect metallurgy recipe to ensure the best solution for weight to strength ratio, the use of ‘Arrowspace Magnesium’ creates a much stiffer housing resulting in a much more consistent diff along with less twisting or torque loss through the drive train. This housing actually weighs less than the standard plastic part and is compatible with the standard internal diff parts.
T-Works have released their own empty tire additive container for racers that like to mix their own special sauce or don’t want their competitors to know which sauce they are using. The container setup is fairly standard, a 50ml metal container which has an application sponge attached to the lid. It comes with a range of coloured dot decals to allow you to keep track of its contents.

Samix have released this 4 piece brass shock bottom retainers, which add 17 grams of weight to the lowest point of the shock to improve climb performance of the Element RC Enduro trail truck. Unlike the standard plastic retainers, these are not slotted, which means you can use the softest springs without the worry that the spring cap will fall out. More rigid and durable, they have a great black and gold look with the Samix logo etched on the side.

Two new items from Avid RC for the Associated line up of 1/10th buggies. First up is their popular shock standoffs now come in a 10mm version for the B74. They include replaceable delrin bushings and threaded all the way through to keep them from bending as easily. Secondly they now have their black hexes in 5mm to fit the B74 and B6.1 lineup of vehicles. They include the ever popular 2-56” screw, that is a larger thread with a 2mm head to prevent stripping.
Two new items from SMJ, the first of which is this super high speed cooling fan. The black silicone wire helps make the wiring easy and the fans themselves come in 30mm and 40mm variants. Next up is the SMJ battery weight plate, which helps to prevent the loss of side-to-side weight balance caused by the use of lightweight LCG batteries. The thin battery weight plate, which is 0.6mm-thick and weighs 30g, can be attached directly to the bottom of batteries using the thin double-sided tape included with the product.
