Mon-Tech have announced the release of their all-new M16 1/12th scale pan car bodyshell. The body was developed to offer great stability and traction without sacrificing corner speed and response. It is made from high-quality .040″ polycarbonate and includes a set of decals and window masks.
Coming from Roche and made for the Rapide F1 1/10th scale formula car are a carbon fibre rear axle and a titanium-coated shock shaft. Starting with the rear axle, the assembly uses a carbon fibre shaft with a lightweight yet durable aluminium differential plate and a threaded aluminium insert for the adjustment nut. Using the part will improve acceleration and top speed while also giving more on-power steering due to a different weight distribution. Also new and made for the Rapide F1 is a titanium-coated centre shock shaft. The space age coating will reduce friction, making for a smoother and more efficiently working shock absorber.

Coming from X Factory’s Infinity line of option parts is a new carbon fibre rear shock tower brace for laydown converted TLR 22 3.0 buggies. Initially developed by J.P. Richards, it moves the shocks to the front of the rear arms and has many advantages over the standard layout. By moving the somewhat heavy shocks forward, their weight is closer to the centre of gravity which can give a huge advantage in a range of track conditions. The carbon fibre brace also stiffens the tower and forward shocks control the motion of the arms better. According to Richards the car jumps better with the stiffer tower and better arm control. It pushes off the jump face better and lands better. It is also more consistent in corners, especially on-power during exit. The car can be driven harder through every corner and over every jump. The set includes the carbon fibre shock tower brace as well as all needed mounting hardware.
Coming from Schelle Racing Innovations and made for the Team Associated B6 buggy with laydown gearbox is the new motor plate and guard combo set. The laydown motor plate allows to attach a 3-D-printed spur gear guard for extra protection as well as helping align the body on the chassis and prevent body rubs. The full round upper portion protects the spur gear with a round surface, and allows for a simple bolt-on spur guard which protects the gear from sucking in carpet fuzz or debris and helps keep everything in place. The motor plate is available in blue or black anodising and for all B6 laydown kits. Coming in December is also a Delrin guard for improved looks.

Coming from Revolution Design Racing Products and made for the Team Associated B6 series of 1/10th scale 2WD buggies is the a carbon fibre steering stiffener plate. The brace replaces the standard composite plastic part for a more sturdy and cooler looking item that not only adds visual impact but it also improves the overall stiffness of the steering assembly for increased steering authority in medium to very high bite surfaces. The steering stiffener is a direct replacement and it fits both the B6 and B6D.
Xtreme Racing have introduced a carbon fibre handle for the Spektrum DX6R transmitter. Machined from high-quality carbon fibre the part is designed to replace the standard plastic part and it will work with either left or right hand setups.
