UK company Answer RC have introduced a range of new option parts for the HB Racing D8 series of kits. First up are front and rear carbon fibre arm covers whose purpose is to stiffen the monocoque arm and give a less flexible suspension setup while reducing traction a little bit. The covers are ideal in high-grip situations or to tune the handling of the car and they come as separate sets for the front and the rear of the D817, E817, D815, D812 and RGT8.
Schumacher have introduced the new Core RC big bore springs for 1/10th off-road buggies. The high-quality progressive springs allow the car to float over bumps but not roll too much during cornering and the consistent wire diameter means that the characteristics of each spring is similar, giving a consistent performance across the range. The stiffness increment between springs is very small, allowing fine adjustment of the suspension. Available now are the medium “orange” 4.3lbs and “yellow” 4.6lbs springs and to enable the big bore springs to be used on small bore shocks Schumacher have release two optional converters for the top of the spring, enabling better seating. The bottom of the spring fits regular small bore shock bottoms.

West Coast R/C Works have introduced their new servo mounting plates for the Xray X12’15 and newer. The plate is available in two versions, one is compatible with the Futaba S9650/S9670 and the other with Sanwa SRG-HR/HS servos. The servo mounting plates are designed as a direct replacement of the original part. The mounting holes of the servo will align the servo spline in the middle of the chassis. This will result in a faster servo positioning during the build and a more precise, and consistent setup. Furthermore, the servo will not move during a race and this will lead to a more consistent feeling and lower the risk of a DNF.
Revolution Design Racing Products have introduced a Titanium lower shock screw set for the Team Associated B6 and B6D buggies. It includes four lower shock mount screws made from high-quality titanium. The fasteners do away with the standard steel screws and they are of a unique design that only sports threaded sections where they are needed, while areas to which the lower shock eyelet bushings attach are of a plain design for improved durability and precision. The screw heads are also unique in the way that they feature dual 2mm and 5.5mm hex sections that allow to use 2mm hex or 5.5mm nut drivers to fasten or loosen the screws. Included in the set are two front and two rear shock mounting screws.
Coming from Capricorn and made for the C-03 on-road kit is a hard centre-front transmission shaft. The part is made of high-quality 7075 aluminium with a special Nickel treatment process increasing the axle’s hardness, making it hard-wearing even in the event of a ball bearing failure.
