HB Racing have introduced a HD centre driveshaft dogbone for the 817T series of truggies. The dogbone is thicker in diameter, which increases the strength and durability of the drivetrain. It is standard equipment on the centre/rear of the HB Racing D817T truggy and centre/front of the E817T truggy and it can also be used as a heavy duty option part on the centre/front of the E817 buggy.

Schelle Racing Innovations have introduced new optional parts for the Team Associated B6 and B64 series of off-road vehicles. First up is a revised front shock tower for flat arm equipped B6 buggies. Made from tough 5mm carbon fibre and offering an updated design, the shock tower has the outer shock mounting holes removed and thanks to shortened ears it is less prone to break, adding toughness to AE’s latest 2WD buggy.
Coming from Teamsaxo and made for the company’s GT-300W-V2 pan car kit are an aluminium main chassis and lower pod plate. Both parts are cut from high-quality 7075-T6 aluminium and they come black anodised for wear and looks. Of higher overall rigidity than the stock carbon fibre parts both the chassis and pod plate will improve high speed steering while making for a smoother feeling through corners and increased overall corner speed. The parts are available separately but are meant to be used together.

3DRC’s popular 30mm Fan Booster is now also available in a super short variant. Designed for all electric touring cars with limited space behind the motor the super short variant also comes in handy when mounting the fan in front of the motor or when less weight is needed in the rear part of the chassis. Like the standard length variant the Fan Booster will channel the cooling air created by the fan towards the motor can for optimised cooling and less motor power fading during a run. The part is usable with most 30mm fans and it is available directly through 3DRC’s Shapeways store.

PPM RC Racing have introduced the new RC-Cox 5mm LiPo battery safety plugs. Made from a soft material the plugs were designed to cover the unused openings of through-type LiPo battery connector tubes, keeping them from becoming dirty and damaged while also avoiding putting the battery in the car the wrong way around which can result in short circuits during hectic plug in routines. The plugs are easy to remove yet strong enough to not fall off even when the going gets tough and they come in sets of ten, enough to outfit five 5mm connector battery packs.
