Rebellion-RC roll out new S35-3 carbon fibre options

Coming from RC-Carbonstore’s Rebellion-RC brand are new carbon fibre optionals for the SWorkz S35-3 1/8th scale buggy. Made especially for SWorkz’s Factory team and in use at this week’s EFRA 1/8th Nitro Buggy European Championships in Portugal are a -5mm low-profile front shock tower, a -3mm low-profile rear shock tower as well as the Wollanka Edition carbon fibre steering arms. The shock towers optimise the suspension geometry while offering an overall lower centre of gravity, and the carbon fibre steering arms are a replacement for the kit’s aluminium items, also offering an optimised steering geometry. The items are precision-cut from highest grade resin transfer moulding process carbon fibre and they available in a total of twelve different colours including two different black carbon weaves.

RC Cars Cavalieri TLR 8ight 4.0 wing flaps

RC Cars Cavalieri from Germany have introduced their new carbon fibre wing flaps for the TLR 8ight 4.0 buggy. The items are machined from high-quality carbon fibre and they are made to both reinforce the kit’s composite wing mounts while also slightly improving aerodynamics by helping to better guide the airflow underneath the wing. The parts are a direct fit and attach to the wing stay using longer hardware.

Exotek Baja/Rock Rey stainless steel skid plate

Exotek have introduced their new stainless steel skid plate for the Losi Baja and Rock Rey vehicles. The heavy duty stainless steel construction with a brushed finish and chamfered front edge ensures long-lasting performance as it reinforces the chassis to help prevent the costly snapped or bent chassis for more driving and less wrenching.

T-Works MBX8, D817 & SRX8 fuel tank guards

T-Works have introduced three carbon fibre fuel tank guards for kits such as the Mugen MBX8, HB Racing D817 and RGT8 as well as the Serpent SRX8. The guards are machined from high-quality carbon fibre and they attach utilising already existing mounting locations and by using the included hardware. The carbon fibre sheets will prevent damages to the tank due to the hot exhaust pipe while also keeping heat away in general to ensure the tanks will not or at least swell less – a symptom that can cause issues in post-race tech inspections.

Yeah Racing roll out new TRX-4 option parts

Made for Traxxas’ popular TRX-4 trail truck are two new option parts from Yeah Racing. First up is a set of brass portal axle covers whose bulky design adds 118g of weight per axle. The covers are a direct fit and while adding weight and style they also improve overall rigidity of the portal axle assembly. Also new are metal rock rails for the TRX-4 truck. Made from steel and coming with a black surface coating for wear and looks, the rails replace the original plastic units to offer better chassis and body protection in heavy terrain.

Zero Tribe BD8-2018 ultra low shock towers

Zero Tribe have introduced new ultra low shock towers for the Yokomo DB8-2018 touring car that allow to run Xray’s ULP or Axon’s High Big Bore shock absorbers. The shock stays are cut from high-quality carbon fibre and using them in combination with the ultra short shock absorbers will lower the car’s overall centre of gravity for improved handling especially on high to very high bite surfaces.

Zero Tribe T4’18/17 stock conversion & chassis parts

Zero Tribe from Japan have introduced their new Stock conversion kit as well as a hard chassis and narrow upper deck for the Xray T4 2018 and 2017 kits. Starting with the Stock racing conversion, the set includes new large diameter middle layshaft pulleys as well as new standard and low-friction belts to ensure full compatibility with the standard spool and diff gears. Also part of the package is a 2.0mm carbon fibre upper deck. Using the conversion will make for reduced drivetrain drag thanks to the larger centre pulleys which can lead to 0.1s lower lap times, better rolling feeling in corners and also improved drivetrain efficiency.
