Coming from Samix and made for the Yokomo BD9 are new centre balance weights. Coming in 25g, 35g or 45g specification the weights not only up the car’s overall weight when needed, they also act as a battery stopper, preventing the LiPo pack from moving. The weights come machined from high-quality brass material, they are black coated and are a direct fit with the original Yokomo chassis as well as all Samix BD9 chassis plates.
Infinity has released a new optional ventilated brake disc set for their IF18. The new disc is made from thicker material than the standard disc included in the 1/8th on-road kit and has been vented for efficient heat dissipation. These features mean the disc offers improved brake feeling and a more stable braking performance during long runs. The set also includes springs.

The weighs are designed exclusively for the use with Samix’s own #T4-19-1001s carbon fibre and #T4-19-7001s aluminium chassis and they come black anodised and with etched markings.

Coming from Xray is a new hard 2.5mm graphite main chassis plate for the X1’19 formula car. Machined from a harder carbon fibre material and being 2.5mm thick the chassis is meant to increase stability while eliminating oversteering, creating a car that is easier to drive in high to very high bite conditions. Due to its torsional rigidity and the narrow front end, the chassis also helps to eliminate the scrub effect during high speed cornering.

T-Works have announced the release of more optionals for the Kyosho ZX7 4WD buggy following the announcement of lightweight alloy centre driveshafts. First up is a carbon fibre battery strap that replaces the standard composite part. The brace is machined from high-quality carbon fibre for cooler looks and more secure battery fitment. The strap is also usable with the ZX6.6 and ZX6 series buggies. Also new are three hardware sets in the form of a 64 grade titanium ball end set, a 64 grade titanium UFO head titanium screw set as well as a gold-colour steel screw set. The titanium items will lower the overall weight while adding visual impact whereas the gold-colour screw set mainly adds bling to Kyosho’s newest 1/10th scale 4WD buggy.
Coming from KO Propo are their new limited edition EX-RR carbon print radio sets. The transmitters offer the same features and specifications as the latest EX-RR, however a high-quality carbon print gives the radios a different appearance. In addition the machined aluminium steering wheel comes in either red or blue colour to let the radios stand out even more. The sets are available with either one or two KR-418FH receivers and the included steering wheels “3” are also available separately to add them to standard EX-RRs and other suitable KO Propo radios.
