Having previously released a 28g optional chassis weight for its IF15 1/10th scale 200mm nitro touring car, Infinity has now added a second 14g option. Half the weight, this is perfect for making finer set-up adjustments. The weight can be used in all sliding positions and the front bumper of the IF15.

RC One Racing have introduced a highly adjustable carbon fibre battery strap for the Team Associated 6.1 series of off-road cars. The construction uses all stock hardware, allows for easy removing of the battery, offers numerous adjustments, and it is stronger and lighter than the stock item. In addition it also makes for improved visual impact. The battery mount is usable on the B6.1, T6.1 and SC6.1 kits.
Coming very soon from HB Racing is a slipper clutch set for the D418 1/10th scale 4WD buggy. The set was designed to replace the standard centre differential with a slipper clutch, a setup that was best used on high to very high bite surfaces, helping to absorb drivetrain impacts when landing jumps, which improves the reliability and life of the drivetrain. It can also be used on low traction surfaces to tune wheel spin when accelerating for better corner exit speeds and on-power steering. The dual pad slipper comes including 70T 48 pitch spur gear, bearings and all needed hardware, making it a direct replacement for the centre gear diff.

Coming from Xray are three new aluminium chassis for the IFMAR World Championship winning T4’19 touring car. First up is the Worlds Edition extra-flex chassis that features the largest cut-outs, making for the most amount of flex which comes in handy on low to medium grip tracks. The chassis was used by Bruno Coelho to win the 2018 IFMAR World Championships. Next up is the flex chassis that also features herringbone-shaped cut outs, however these are smaller than on the extra-flex chassis for less overall twist and improved handling on medium to high-bite track conditions. Last but not least is the stiff aluminium chassis, a full-face affair for high to very high-bite track conditions. All chassis are made from high-quality 2.0mm 7075-T6 aluminium, they come black anodised for wear and looks and are designed to utilise the optional front chassis brace. The chassis make for an easier to drive car and more predictable handling in the respective track conditions and they are usable on carpet and asphalt tracks alike.
Another new release from Infinity for their IF15 following its victory at the 1:10 200mm World Championships in Florida last month is the special coated clutch bell. As used on Naoto Matsukura’s winning car, it is a direct replacement for the standard kit supplied version and gives the benefit of being light and extremely durable as well as offering great clutch bite.

T-Works have introduced their new tank cap puller set for 1/8th buggy and truggy kits. The set includes a perforated plastic string that can be size-adjusted using the included hardware set. Using the tank cap extension will allow for easier refilling and it is usable for most buggy and truck kits.
Coming from Fenix Racing and made for the Team Associated TC7.2 touring car is the new Flexy’n’sexy aluminium chassis. Just 84mm wide and weighing in at 82g the chassis was developed to generate less flex than a conventional carbon fibre chassis, yet offering more twist than a full-face aluminium item, resulting in just about the right flex for medium to high-bite racing conditions. The main plate is machined from high-quality aluminium and it features machined silver edge details and a dark surface coating.
