Hudy have introduced their new bumper and body foam spacer set. Included are 155mm long self-adhesive strips of 1.5mm, 3.0mm and 5.0mm thickness that help to bridge the gap between the body shell and the chassis’ foam bumper. The result is less body deformation at high speeds, less body scrubbing in corners and also improved chassis protection in the event of a crash. The foam strip set is available now.

RC Belgium have introduced several option parts for the Schumacher KC and KD as well as the Kyosho Scorpion series of vintage re-release buggies. First up is a belt pulley for the Schumacher KC buggy. The pulley removes the need for the idler gears resulting in a 30 grams weight gain. Other advantages are less friction, a lower point of inertia and faster disassembly of the transmission. Fitment is secured by two grub screws. Also new is a LiPo strap compatible with the Schumacher KC and KD buggy. The new strap uses the original LiPo stops for a secure fit and for additional flex the side pods are not used. Next up is a steering set designed for the Kyosho re-release Scorpion, Beetle, Tomahawk and Turbo Scorpion. Featuring 2 ball bearings, the steering set replaces the original servo saver for a smoother and more durable steering. Last but not last is a carbon fibre rear shock tower for the Scorpion and all respective cars. It features two additional holes for more settings possibilities.
VRP have introduced their new V2 front shock towers for the HB Racing D817 and E817 line of vehicles. The shock positions have been modified compared to the V1 tower. VRP have kept the centre shock mounting hole the same, but moved the outer hole in slightly and added new inner holes. By doing this, it allows for more tuning adjustments. Compared to the V1 front tower, VRP have added a brace across the centre of the tower connecting the two ears of it together for added strength. The V2 front tower is available in 4mm aluminium, 4mm carbon and 5mm carbon.

The risers are available separately or as complete kit including one 3mm and one 5mm riser.

Coming from Team C Racing are new aluminium rear wing washers for 1/10th buggies. They are machined from high-quality aluminium and come orange anodised to match the remainder of Team C’s alloy parts. The lightweight material and design, with three large openings, is keeping the weight down while the large diameter ensures secure wing mounting even in severe racing conditions.

RC Speed Secrets have introduced two new optional parts for the Tekno EB410 buggy in the form of finned titanium turnbuckles and deep socket head titanium diff screws. Starting with the turnbuckles, they are made from top-quality grade 5 titanium and offer a finned design for looks and weight reduction. The 6-piece set is available in RCSS’ special Bada Bling oil-slick or Stealth Black finish. Also new is a 4-piece set of titanium deep socket head differential screws for the EB410. Machined from lightweight grade 5 titanium the screws, used throughout the buggy’s three differentials, will reduce rotational mass and overall weight for improved car performance. Available in Bada Bling oil-slick or Stealth Black finish, they also add visual impact while building, maintaining or tuning the diffs. Three packs of screws are needed to equip a buggy.
Coming from Revolution Design Racing Products and made for the Yokomo YZ-4 SF are rear brass chassis weights. Both are machined from high-quality brass material and they come with a black surface coating to protect them from the elements while adding that factory look. The larger piece adds nearly 30g of weight to the rear end of the buggy while the smaller weight adds 15g of weight to a more central part of the buggy for an optimised weight bias and added rear traction in low-grip track conditions. The weights attach using existing mounting positions for quick tuning and secure fastening and they are available separately.
