T-Works have released two new graphite items for the Mugen MTC2. The new upper arm bracket and upright lever replace the stock aluminium parts for a lightweight and factory look. The other new items is a tool for locking the upper arm flat nuts in place so they can more easily be mounted and tightened.
T-Works have produced this set of aluminium rear hubs for the Associated RC8B3.2 and 3.1. Machined from 7075 T6 aluminium they comes as a set that includes two sets of the carbon upper link mounts, 3 complete sets of lower pin inserts as well as bearing inserts and required fastening material.
Two new items from Exotek Racing for the Associated B6.3 & B6.1 starting with this stealthy black coated brass C block hanger. Only for use with 73mm arms, the block weighs 24g and helps increase rear traction by adding weight at a low point under the gearbox. The part is finished with laser etching for easy identification. Also new is this wide stance rear drag racing shock tower for the B6 laydown and layback gear box. Made from glossy 4mm carbon fibre, it uses the stock rear shock and allows for an upright angle for more stability.

STRC have introduced their new CNC machined aluminium front and rear A-arm kits for the Traxxas Drag Slash. Improve the front end durability and add a bit more weight to the front end of your Drag Slash with these front A-arms which match precisely the stock suspension geometry and which include their heat-treated steel lock-nut style hinge-pin kits so you never have an issue with the hinge-pins backing out. The rear A-arm reduces the rear toe-in on the Drag Slash from the stock 3 degrees to just 1 degree, which will improve straight line top speed. These arms also include the heat-treated steel lock-nut style hinge-pin kits as well. Available now in anodised blue, gun metal, green, red and silver.

A sought-after piece in the RC world is the 5.5 x 6mm ball-ends which seemingly attach to just about every corner of the Team Associated line of vehicles and JConcepts Regulator behind axle steering assembly. Previously, the kit versions were very heavy steel items which is a lot of unnecessary weight. With the JConcepts Titanium pieces, the application is smooth and simple with a 2mm wrench while the lightweight material screws together very easily.
