SWorkz have introduced three new optional off-set 12mm wheel hex adapters for the S14-3 off-road buggy. The 5.7mm, 6.7mm and 7.7mm option add to the standard 4.7mm hexes and they allow to fine-tune the overall width of the buggy or allow to adapt the vehicle to different off-set wheels. The wheel hex adapters come as pairs and are marked for easy identification.

Coming from Xpress are new carbon fibre option parts for the XQ1 and XM1 series of cars. First up is a graphite body post stiffener set for the XQ1 series of 1/10th touring cars. The carbon fibre plates will reduce body movement in corners for increased stability while the C-shape of the rear plate also reinforces the body’s trunk area, resulting in improved body support and thus downforce at high speeds. The set includes one front and one rear body post support and it is also available for the XM1 series of 4WD M-class cars. Also new is an optional graphite steering knuckle plate set for the XM1 and XM1S cars. The parts will make for a stiffer steering structure which in turn gives a sharper steering response and feeling. Owners will need to install a 2mm bumpsteer shim to get the same amount of bumpsteer as with the stock steering plate. The plates also feature an extra Ackermann mounting position that will increase the aggressiveness of the steering response, which is perfect for asphalt tracks.
Coming from Mugen is an updated main chassis for the MBX8 1/8th off-road buggy. The chassis is updated in a way that the E2712 engine mount washers and SJG4x10 screws are now at the same height as the chassis, meaning they do not protrude which makes for more consistent gear mesh, and less chance of collecting dirt, rocks and other debris.
Yeah Racing have introduced front and rear carbon fibre body post stiffeners for the Tamiya TRF419, TA07 and TB04 cars. The CNC-machined carbon fibre plates will reinforce the body post areas, making for improved rigidity and thus better aerodynamic efficiency and less stress on the body posts. The sets are available separately for the front and the rear and they include mounting hardware.

Made for the Traxxas TRX-4 trail truck is a new brass rear portal drive housing set from Samix. Adding 65g of weight a pair, the CNC-machined brass housings add valuable weight as well as stability, ensuring better climbing performance while adding strength to the portal axle assembly. The housings come black coated for wear and looks and they are compatible with the standard Traxxas parts.
Infinity has released a new aluminium servo saver set for their World Championship winning IF18. The new design mounts the steering rod to the upper side greatly improving adjustability and maintenance. Also, by changing and optimising the arm length of the servo saver, the steering response will be higher than before.
