Developed together with the Sworkz Team, RC-Project have produced these steering arm levers for the S35 family of cars. The new plates have been machined from Ergal 7075 T6 and black anodised. They sport 3 different holes mounting holes labelled ‘S’ Soft to be used in high grip conditions, ‘M’ Medium to be used as starting position and ‘A’ Aggressive for use on slippery tracks.

Mugen have introduced the optional bypass shock body for their popular MTC2 touring car. Externally the same as the standard shock the inner surface sports additional machined channels which makes for a smoother and softer initial travel of the piston. When using this in the front of the car it makes the car smoother when operating at the corner entry or with less steering angle and is most suited for carpet and high grip conditions.

From Elliott Boots’ EBRC brand are these high grade carbon fibre steering arm levers used to adjust the Ackerman of the SWorkz S35-4 buggy. Following many months of testing they arrived at 3 options, distinguished by a dot system machined on each individual part, 1 dot, 2 dot and 3 dot. Depending on track layout and grip level you can personalise your cars steering to make it more comfortable for you.

For the XB8 & XB8E buggies, Xray have introduced this central dogbone drive shaft system which is an alternative to the CVDs that comes as standard. Central dogbone drive shafts for have reduced maintenance and servicing requirements and help provide more forward traction. All parts are machined from Hudy Spring Steel and are specially hardened.

From Hudy come these precision machined 15g pure tungsten chassis weight. The weight is smaller than the brass weights and is easier to install for a cleaner layout. The super small weight results in lower CG comparing to standard weights. Produced from very rare and heavy pure tungsten material, not a typical tungsten mixture, it has the highest density structure and is the heaviest metal material which allows them to design the smallest size weights comparing to any other materials. Quick & easy attachment to chassis they are marked with weight value for easy identification.

From Xray for the T4 is this new CVD BB driveshaft 50mm & gear diff adapter. The CVD BB bearing drive shafts improve off-power steering and rotation, but decrease rear traction and stability. Recommended for use in high-traction conditions and for tracks with many hairpin corners. Set includes complete drive shaft only and must be used with optional CNC-machined CVD BB drive shaft adapter made from 7075 aluminium and black coated, it is a direct replacement for the stock version.
For the Mugen MTC2 from T-Works comes this anti-roll bar ball and upper deck screw. Sold in pairs and made from titanium, these lightweight yet very strong parts replace the kit standard steel versions and look good while doing so.
From OfficinaRC, the first innovative and revolutionary progressive shock absorber solution combined in a single component, developed for the Mugen MTC2. The shock absorber case is machined from solid Ergal 7075 and further machined to make the conical cuts inside the case. The progressive solution can be used with the original piston. If you want to try greater hardness, just close the holes. When the piston is at the bottom of the shock, it moves softer and damping becomes more difficult as the piston moves up. This means that the shock damping is softer in the early part of the movement and becomes harder as the car moves more. They are built to improve traction and steering.
