Coming from Yeah Racing and made for Traxxas’ popular TRX-4 trail truck is a titanium suspension link set. Machined from high quality titanium material the links scrub some weight while being very durable and the set includes enough links to outfit the complete truck including steering and pan hard bar.
Twister RC have introduced two new aluminium option parts for the Tamiya T3-01 Dancing Rider trike. Available now are a front axle shaft as well as a swing shaft with both parts being machined from lightweight yet strong 7075-T6 aluminium. The parts are finished with a hard-coated surface treatment for wear and lowered friction and they are usable on both the kit and RTR version of the Dancing Rider vehicle.
Bezerk RC has introduced an option chassis for the Roche P10 pan car. The chassis has 10mm added to the wheelbase to aid in high speed stability and the design supports a centrally mounted shorty battery. The pack has been lowered 2.5mm into the 3mm chassis to lower the centre of gravity to give a better change of direction while the 3mm chassis adds some stiffness over the whole chassis to give a precise feel on track. In addition the servo position has been moved over 1.5mm to better centre some servos. Like all Bezerk products the chassis can be customised to suit the driver’s needs.

The straps come in 4-piece sets of two of each colour.
Coming from Traxxas and made for the TRX-4 scale trail truck is a load of new accessories. First up is a pre-painted 1979 Ford Bronco body shell that now also comes as an all-inclusive set including a black-painted body, trim, replica spare tyre, door mirrors, chromed door handles, and wipers for incredible scale detail. The kit also includes red and sunset pre-cut decals, chromed bumpers with push bar, and a rear body post. Also new is the long arm lift kit for the TRX-4, as visible in above image, that adds over one inch of ground clearance to TRX-4 models without compromising suspension or steering geometry. The kit includes longer arm links and shocks, taller springs, extended driveshafts, modified servo mount and all necessary hardware. They are available in standard gray or brilliant red or blue tough powder coated finishes. Last but not least are wheelbase conversion kits to adjust the TRX-4’s wheelbase the easy way with these two chassis conversion kits. Both kits include the appropriate shocks mounts, suspension links, and centre half shafts to lengthen or shorten your wheelbase. These kits make it easy to install a short body like the Ford Bronco onto a long chassis setup like the TRX-4 Tactical or vice versa.
Vantomme Carbon Designs have introduced their new aluminium chassis for the CRC XTi WC and SpeedMerchand Rev8 and Rev8.5 1/12th scale pan cars. The chassis is available in a standard and floating link variant with the two being usable for the CRC car while the floating link main plate can also be used on the SpeedMerchant Rev8 and 8.5. The chassis are a couple of millimetres shorter than the original part and wider in the front compared to the stock CRC main plate, while offering three servo and three transverse battery positions. VCD also offers specifically designed rear lower pod plates both cars that are usable with either version of the chassis.
Made for Traxxas’s TRX-4 scale crawler is Yeah Racing’s new metal exhaust pipe set. It includes a black colour dual tip exhaust and pre-shaped metal mounts, allowing for a scale-looking mock-up assembly that further adds a bit of style to the rear end of the popular rig. Also included is suitable hardware, making it a drop fit.
Team C Racing have introduced a carbon fibre servo washer set that helps to space servos away from their mount. The set includes two 1.0mm and 1.5mm washers that are inserted between the servo’s lashes and the mount in order to move the servo up and down or forth and aft, depending on what is needed to achieve either more clearance of a better steering link geometry. The washers fit most standard and low-profile servos and their respective mounts.
