Coming from Avid are their new capped 17mm brass wheel nuts for 1/8th off-road vehicles. The heavy brass wheel nuts are designed to help generate a little more traction in slippery and loose conditions. They will also raise the driver’s confidence that they will never come off with our aggressive serration. The brass nuts weigh 6g each instead of 2g which will aid in more traction while the capped design protects the end of the hubs, keeping dirt out. The nuts come laser etched with three small A’s and the large AV logo in the center, which are protected from being scratched off. The unique Triad 3-cornered nut uses common 17mm wheel wrenches and with their M12x1.0 fine thread they fits all modern 1/8th scale off-road and GT kits.

Infinity has released a belt tensioner flange for use on both their IF18 and IF15 nitro on-road chassis. This tension roller flange prevents the middle belt from accidentally falling off in high load situations such as high temperatures or extreme high traction. Fixed in place so as not to increase rotating mass of the roller, it is also shaped to prevent any step between the belt and the flange. It is available in black or titian colours. An M3x15mm screw is included for when fitting on the IF15.
Made for the Element RC Enduro trail truck are Samix’s new 6mm offset wheel hex adapters made of heavy brass material. The set of four hexes adds 20g of weight to one of the lowest areas of the chassis, improving climbing performance while their black and golden appearance also adds visual impact when the wheels are off. The parts are a direct fit on the Enduro truck.
Following the release of the flex battery hold down kit for the Xray T4, Xtreme Racing now also have a variant for the Serpent Project 4X Pro available. The set replaces the standard battery mounting system and does away with the need to use tape to hold down the battery pack in favour of a quick release system that only lightly tabs the battery pack, resulting in quicker battery swaps and less influence in chassis tweak. The set includes two battery hold downs, two LiPo battery supports and 6 shooter thumb fasteners along all needed mounting hardware.
