Xpress have introduced their new 4.5mm and 4.25mm offset aluminium wheel hex adapters for the Execute XQ1 touring car. The 12mm adapters are machined from aluminium, they come black anodised for looks and laser-etched for easy identification. The different offsets help to fine-tune the front and rear track width and the adapters, that come as pairs, are usable on Xpress’ own XQ1 and also other brand’s kits such as the Xray T4.
Made for the Tamiya M07 Concept M-chassis is Yeah Racing’s new aluminium and suspension upgrade set. The kit includes essential parts to upgrade the steering and taking out the binding of the suspension. A bearing-supported aluminium steering rack increases steering precision whilst the ball-supported suspension pin mount reduces the binding in the arms when run at an angle to get rear toe-in. Also part of the package are the recently introduced motor cooling element, a front suspension mount as well as shock towers and a front bumper support. All parts are machined from high-grade aluminium and they come blue anodised to match the remainder of the car’s option parts.

Coming from VSR Products and made for the popular Team Orion Duo Charger is a pair of stands to improve display visibility. Using the feet extensions in addition to the stock integrated feet allow the charger to stand at a more visible angle when sitting in the pit or shop area. The extensions slide over the stock stands and remain in place by the weight of the charger, allowing for extremely quick assembly and tear-down. The 3-D-printed parts are available now.
