Traxxas 4-Tec 2.0 drift tyres & spool assembly

Traxxas have introduced a new line of drift tyres as well as a spool assembly for the 4-Tec 2.0 on-road car. Starting with the hard-compound plastic tyres, they provide the perfect combination of durability and breakaway potential for any drifting surface. Tough enough for carpet, concrete, or even asphalt, these tyres hold up battle after battle. Precision-glued at the factory, the pre-mounts come in both narrow front and wide rear configurations. Orange, green, or black chrome rim colours help to add a splash of colour or match the body’s design. Also new is the optional differential spool that locks the front or rear axles for predictable breakaway. The set includes all needed parts to replace the standard differential.

Exotek Exo-Six alloy gearbox & CF shock towers

Exotek have introduced new option part for the Exo-Six conversion kit in the form of an aluminium gearbox set, carbon fibre shock towers and a 48 pitch main gear. Starting with the gearbox, the bulkhead is machined from 7075 alloy and provides a solid tweak-free design that is about 8g lighter than each of the stock plastic gear boxes for a substantially lower centre of gravity and thus improved chassis roll. New camber mounting points are more inboard for smoother handling when running longer camber link lengths and more robust to resist breakages as in the stock plastic mounts. Additional features include new centre hold sway bar guide for less weight and easier alignment and raised 2mm top plate mounts allow for easier access to the motor screws and battery plugs. Last but not least do precise bearing guides make for a much more free drive train versus stock.

Xray have introduced new soft composite chassis sideguards for all XB8 series vehicles such as the XB8 buggies, XT8 trucks and GTX8 on-road cars. The side pods, moulded from a softer-than-stock composite material sport a larger bottom radius to make the car more stable on rough tracks while increasing the car’s longitudinal flex for improved traction on low-grip surfaces. The sideguards come in sets of two.

Yokomo BD8-2018 hard 2.5mm carbon fibre chassis

Yokomo have introduced a hard 2.5mm carbon fibre chassis for the BD8-2018 touring car. The chassis is 0.25mm thicker than the standard carbon fibre main plate for less torsional flex which is helpful especially in high-bite carpet and asphalt racing conditions. In addition the chassis is of a different shape in the B and C mount area – in front and behind the battery and electronic compartments – optimising torsional and pitch flex for an easier driving feeling. The main plate is a direct fit on the 2018 car and available now.

Coming soon from ProStar R/C is the centre brace kit for the Team Associated B64 and B64D buggies.

These options allow for countless possibilities of adjustment so drivers can find the proper traction on the race track. The custom diff gear cover is made from a high-tech aerospace additive manufactured carbon plastic while the carbon plates are available in red, black, crystal green, crystal Blue, and navy blue. The product will be available by special order around the week of March 16th.
