Yeah Racing 15mm offset aluminium hex adapters

Coming from Yeah Racing are 15mm offset aluminium hex adapters for a range of crawler kits. The adapters are machined from high-quality aluminium and they are equipped with 12mm hexes to suit most crawler wheels. The extra offset makes for an increased track width which translates to improved stability and less chances of rolling the truck while also more force can be put on the outer tyre which further increases grip during climbs. The adapters fit a range of trucks including the ones from Axial, they are available in red, blue and black colour and are usable with wheels that sport a centre hole of at least 5mm.

VBC Lightning12M alloy chassis & on-road car stand

VBC Racing have introduced an aluminium main chassis and lower pod plate for the Lightning12M as well as an aluminium on-road car stand. Starting with the option parts, the chassis and lower pod plate are both cut from 2.5mm aluminium and they come black anodised and with silver chamfered edges for improved looks. With a higher rigidity than the standard carbon parts the alloy pieces will increase the overall stiffness of the car which leads to an improved handling especially on high-bite surfaces while the added weight will lower the centre of gravity which further helps in grippy conditions. Both the chassis and the pod plate are available separately.
