Kyosho R4 Evo alloy middle shaft holder & servo saver

Kyosho have introduced three new aluminium option parts for the R4 Evo and R4s II 1/10th 200mm nitro on-road kits. First up is a redesigned aluminium middle layshaft mount whose 2-piece construction allows to fine-tune the chassis’ flex characteristics. The two halves can be connected using a screw for more rigidity or run separately for more flex. The parts are machined from high-quality material and they sport a dark gunmetal finish. Also new are two aluminium servo saver arms. Coming in +0 specification for a more linear steering feeling and also as +2 variant with added 2mm of length for the use with brushless servos, the arms improve the overall rigidity of the steering, offering less flex and thus improved steering feeling.

Samix TRX-4 brass knuckle set

Samix have introduced a brass knuckle set for the Traxxas TRX-4 trail truck. Machined from high-quality material and coming black coated for wear and looks, the knuckles weigh in at 51g per side, meaning they will add a whooping 102g per set to one of the lowest areas of the truck. The added weight will greatly lower the overall centre of gravity while shifting weight to the front of the truck for improved climb performance. The knuckles are a drop fit and work with the standard Traxxas parts as well as the respective Samix TRX-4 optionals.
