Coming from Bezerk are new option top decks for the Yokomo BD9, BD8 and Team Associated TC7.2 touring cars. Offering a slim full-face design rather than the original wide cut-out appearance, the top decks will offer more flex all round which can be helpful both in low and high-grip track conditions. The upper decks are precision-cut from glossy 2.0mm carbon fibre and they are available now.

RC Maker has introduced the new GeoCarbon cam steering limiters for the Awesomatix A800 touring cars. Weighing in at only 0.2g for the pair, they provide a super LCG and lightweight adjustable option for limiting the car’s steering lock. Adjusting steering lock is an incredibly important tuning option, and one that is not simply done with reducing the dual rate on the transmitter, as the limiters provide a stopper which is a much more effective way of controlling the steering lock. The parts provide four different steering lock settings thanks to the offset cam style design, which allows locks ranging from 22 deg inside to 29 deg inside when run with #AM14LS, 1mm Ackerman +1 deg toe out – simply by loosening the main screw, rotating the plate and re-tightening the screw. The limiters fit all chassis configurations and servos and they are available now.
Bezerk from Australia have released vertical top decks for the Awesomatix A800X MMCX mid motor car.

The vertical top decks are available in stiff 2.0mm or flexible 1.6mm variants, allowing to adjust overall chassis stiffness.

Coming from Destiny and made for their RX-10FF FWD touring car is a long rear body post set. Utilising machined aluminium brackets and longer body mount posts the set helps to make better use of tall, hatchback-style body shells.
Coming from Mugen and made for their MBX8 and MBX8T kits are +2 and +4 RF suspension mounts. The +2 suspension hanger will improve the cars ability to glide over bumps while freeing up the rear end a little bit for smoother cornering. The +4 arm mount will further improve rough track handling, however it is only recommended for higher grip tracks as it increases rear end rotation. Both arm mounts are made of high-quality aluminium and they come anodised in Mugen’s signature blue-grey-ish colour.
