Destiny have introduced a new spring steel spool cup set for the RX-10S touring car. The parts utilise a special design that allows to run the front driveshafts with or without C-blades. Using the protective plastic blades results in less stress on the outdrives and driveshafts while the blade-less variant will slightly improve traction and forward bite at the expense of increased outdrive and driveshaft wear. Included in the set are suitable C-blades.
Coming from ProStar R/C and available for the TLR 8ight buggy and 8ight-T truggy are the Super Hybrid Kevlar composite shock towers. The sandwich shock stays utilise gold or blue carbon fibre over a Kevlar layer with a carbon fibre core. This makes the shock towers structurally stronger and more durable while the outer layer adds a touch of colour. Lighter than stock the parts also lower the overall centre of gravity. The shock towers are available for the 8ight buggy and 8ight-T truck and also in limited edition red variants.

Coming from Capricorn and made for the C-03 nitro touring car is an engine cooling fan set. The kit includes a CNC-machined aluminium mount that attaches to the radio tray and it also comes with a suitable fan unit that will lower the running temperature of the engine and the glow plug in hot ambient temperatures, which will lead to more precise and reliable engine tuning. Also included in the set are an extension cable and mounting hardware.

Arrowmax have introduced three anti-slip tool jackets made from high-quality silicone. Available in 14mm, 18mm and 22mm sizes the slip-over boots improve tool handling when having to deal with wet or oily environments when bare aluminium tool handles can get uncomfortably slippery. The semi-transparent tubes address this issue as are easy to install and remove and they come in packs of four per size.
Coming from BMT and made for the 016GT flex chassis are new aluminium or brass reinforcement bars. The parts were designed to fit into a respective pocket in the front end of the chassis and using them is meant to improve overall rigidity which can be beneficial in certain track conditions. While reducing flex the brass part also adds 15g of weight which will help to calm down the front end in lower grip conditions. The bars are available separately from now on.
Coming from Capricorn and made for the P1-235 Pro10 pan car is a hard rear axle shaft. Machined from harder alloy than stock the shaft also receives further hardening processes to ensure a high degree of durability even when the going gets tough. Furthermore the axle sports a lightened and red anodised diff ring plate as well as a heavy-duty pressure nut thread.
