T-Works have produced a range of caster bushings for the new Xray X4. The bushings are machined from aluminium and black anodised, with 3 different versions available offering 6 alternative settings. The 1 dot offers 2.5, 3.5 & 5.0 degrees, the 2 dot version 1.5, 4.0 & 4.5 degrees and the 3 dot version 0.5, 3 & 5.5 degrees.
JConcepts have introduced a bunch of new brass options for their Regulator MT chassis conversion. First up is a stackable chassis weight, the machined brass unit can be easily added to the bottom of the chassis to increase weight to one of the lowest locations on the vehicle. The design allows the ability to stack additional weights if necessary to the same footprint with (not included) hardware. Weight added to the chassis area on a retro monster truck can improve suspension performance by increasing the sprung weight. This allows for better jump handling and landing and the ability to plant the tires into the racing surface via front to rear weight transfer.

Coming from T-Works and made for the Xray X4 and for the Mugen MTC2 is a 11g and 10g tungsten balance weight respectively. The use of the heavy material allows for a low profile design while still adding a good amount of weight compared to brass weights with the adhesive backside ensuring easy mounting of the weight in the under-motor pocket of the chassis. The weight comes laser-engraved for easy identification and is usable with both aluminium and carbon fibre chassis.
