T-Works manifold supports

T-Works have introduced their new manifold support for a range of 1/8th off-road vehicles. The Type A support is 10.5mm tall and usable with kits such as the Kyosho MP9 TKI2 to TKI4, JQ Racing’s THE Car Black Edition, the HongNor X3 GT/X3 and Evo/X3 as well as the HB Racing D817T, D817 Ver.2, D817 and D815. The Type B 7mm support is usable with the Mugen MBX8 buggy exclusively. Using the manifold support ensures the exhaust system will move less when going over rough parts of the track or when bottoming out after landing a jump, which results in a lot less stress on all exhaust and engine components and thus improve longevity. The supports include suitable mounting hardware.

Yeah Racing M07 alloy arm mounts & heat sink

Coming from Yeah Racing and made for Tamiya’s M07 Concept M-chassis kit are new aluminium rear arm mounts and a motor heat sink. Starting with the rear arm mounts, the parts are of a modified design with suspension ball inserts to prevent the assembly from binding when the arms sit at an angle. Included are four arm mounts, pivot balls and an assortment of shims to fine-tune the toe angle. Also new is a motor heat sink in blue anodising. As the motor of the M07 sits wrapped within the chassis the heat sink, that is connected to the motor plate, will greatly improve heat dissipation and thus the performance and lifespan of the motor.

RMV Deutschland have introduced the new Reckward-Tuning carbon fibre mud guards for the Serpent SRX8 series of buggies.
