Coming from T-Works and made for the Xray XB8’19 buggy are a titanium turnbuckle as well as two screw sets. Starting with the turnbuckle set, the 7-piece kit is made of high-quality 64 grade material and it replaces the standard spring steel turnbuckles with lighter and more shiny items. Included with the turnbuckles come two suitable 4mm and 5mm wrenches. As for the screw sets, T-Works have released a 149-piece UFO head titanium and a 149-piece gold-colour steel screw kit. The latter will mainly add bling while the titanium set makes for more visual impact, a lower weight and higher corrosion resistance compared to the original steel fasteners.
Kyosho have announced the release of hard compound suspension arms for the Inferno MP10 buggy. Made of a harder composite material and a direct replacement for the kit standard “S” types, the “H” arms offer less flex and are therefore the ideal choice when running in higher temperature or grip conditions as they make for greater stability and precision. The arms are available separately for the front or the rear and the rear set also includes the needed arm inserts made of the same material.
Xray have introduced new option parts for the XT2 2WD stadium truck that allow to adjust the gearbox and rear suspension mount height of the vehicle. The range includes two 2mm carbon fibre gearbox height adjustment plates, with the T-shaped plated also raising the RF and RR suspension mounts, that can be used separately or stacked to achieve the desired driveshaft angle while the two optional -2mm and -4mm 3-gear front-mid motor plates allowing to lower the motor for an overall lower centre of gravity. By adjusting the gearbox height and lowering the chassis ride height, more forward traction, and less chassis roll in corners can be achieved. All parts are available separately, allowing to mix and match for the desired combination of gearbox, motor and chassis height. A full explanation of the accessible height options can be found here.

T-Works have introduced new carbon fire option parts for the Kyosho Inferno MP10 buggy in the form of a radio plate and an upper plate. Both are cut from high-quality carbon fibre and they replace the standard alloy items. While adding a factory touch the parts also offer slightly different flex characteristics compared to the standard alloy items, allowing to adjust overall chassis flex.
Coming from Capricorn are new shorter shock shafts for the company’s big bore shock absorbers. 2.5mm shorter than the standard shafts the short-type items make for an optimised positioning of the shock pistons, resulting in increased overall traction. In addition the shafts are made of a new material with an updated surface coating making for a smoother finish than TiN-coated shock shafts.

The Adjustable Front Adjustable Oneway Set requires 1,000,000 to 2,000,000 silicone oil and rubber based or silicone seal adhesive for assembly.
