Made for the Fazer intermediate-level 1/10th scale on-road car is this aluminium steering knuckle set from Kyosho. Machined from high-quality aluminium the stub axles come anodised in a gun metal colour and laser-etched for easy identification. The parts are made to replace the standard composite knuckles for improved durability and they include a set of hardware such as screws, bushings, pivot balls and shims.
Coming from Spec-R and made for Tamiya’s MF-01X kit is a range of blue anodised aluminium option parts. First up is a set of front castor blocks that are made to replace the standard plastic parts. The hubs offer improved durability, cool looks and they include a 6-piece set of bushings for the kingpins. Also new are three different length centre driveshafts, again made from aluminium and coming with a blue finish, the laser-etched parts are available in 203mm, 188mm, and 173mm configuration and they are not only light of weight but also spin very true, making for optimised drivetrain efficiency. Last but not least comes a 4-piece set of aluminium gear differential shafts. Again made to scrub weight and reduce rotation mass the parts also look cool until they are hidden inside the differential case.

Team Associated have released lightweight pillow balls for the RC8B3 and RC8B3e buggies. The parts are a direct replacement for the standard steel versions and they reduce unsprung mass in the front steering block assembly, resulting in a more aggressive steering feel which is perfect for smooth track conditions with high grip levels.
Team Magic have introduced a 2mm aluminium chassis plate for the E4RS III+ touring car. Machined from black anodised 7075 aluminium the symmetrical chassis provides a more predictable handling on medium to high-bite carpet tracks. Laser-etched logos in the battery pack area also add some visual impact.

Coming from Exotek and made for the Exo-Six conversion kit is a new aluminium main chassis plate. Cut from 7075 material and coming black anodised and laser-etched the highly machined part is of a complex design to retain stiffer chassis flex traits than the carbon fibre chassis while being 23g heavier to insure the lowest possible centre of gravity for carpet racing. Despite being stiffer the chassis is also good for the use on asphalt.
