From Matt Olson’s MOD brand for the 22 2wd series is these machined feather weight one piece steel pin drive outdrives. Manufactured in the USA by MIP it shaves 5.7 grams of rotational mass compared to the stock part. That 26% rotational mass will substantially increase your bottom end punch, lower motor temps and improve braking power. These outdrives are compatible with any size motor on the market and built for any application but it is in stock, superstock and drag customers that will see the biggest advantages these outdrives will provide. The kit comes with everything needed to build up a full diff with the exception of the stock gear which you can rob from your current diff.

More new items from Exotek Racing for TLR22 based street eliminator cars. Firstly there are these precision machined titanium 12mm wide front hex axle set for +6mm overall wider width for more stability and less body roll. At only 4.5 grams per pair they are almost as strong as steel but nearly half the weight and not easily bent as the aluminium axles. Rounded and angled hex profile makes wheel installation extra quick and easy. Also for the same car but the rear, these wide clamping heavy duty hex sets (8mm each) allows easy mounting, without spacers, of Proline and JConcepts street eliminator wheels.
For the T4’21, Xray have released this aluminium chassis plate with special cutout openings for increased flex. This chassis is recommended for low traction carpet tracks and high traction asphalt tracks. Made from 2mm thick black anodised Swiss 7075 T6 aluminium, the new plate aims to give more predictable handling in the recommended conditions.

From Xray is this optional 2.5mm carbon main chassis for the X12’21. Machined from 2.5mm hard high-grade graphite material with a specially-designed compound which is a good option for low grip carpet racing, as well as asphalt. The graphite material is softer than aluminium, allowing the chassis to generate more traction. The chassis was redesigned to accommodate the front Tweak-Free Suspension and the rear Tweak-Free POD System, while the side link mounting system was redesigned as well and is mounted directly to the chassis and the chassis features slots for adjustment of the servo mount position.

For the YD-2 series of cars, Yokomo release these SLF big bore shock tapered piston. Developed by Team Yokomo drift members, one side of the piston surface has a tapered shape meaning the damping feeling differs depending on the mounting direction, softer for the movement of the piston in the direction of the taper. In addition, the piston hole is angled diagonally with respect to the shock operating direction so the damping changes with respect to a sudden shock input due to the action of fluid dynamics. At times it has the effect of absorbing small bumps while maintaining a high damping force. The piston hole setting is ø1.1 mm x 6 holes and each set contains 2 pieces.
