RPM SCX10 front steering knuckles

RPM’s new steering knuckles for the Axial SCX10 are designed for the hardcore trailblazer that needs strength and durability to get them through the rugged backwoods without failing. The parts have been designed for strength by first beefing up the steering arm. Also the unnecessary inner tie rod hole was ditched and the amount of material around the remaining tie rod hole was increased. RPM then increased the size of the steering arm supporting ribs and increased the amount of material around the king pin bolt holes for added muscle and stability. The design also sees added clearance on the steering arm for the C-Hub retaining screw, allowing more steering throw without having to swap out to pricey C-Hubs or high-clearance steering knuckles. On top of that the slop in the king pin bolt holes was reduced by 0.13mm, improving steering accuracy and consistency.

HB D413 +6mm chassis, Ackermann set & C-hubs

HPI Racing have new option parts for the HB D413 4WD off-road buggy available in the form of a +6mm main chassis, an Ackermann arm set and 15 degree caster blocks. Starting with the chassis, which was used by HB drivers such as Ty Tessmann during the recent IFMAR Worlds, the carbon fibre plate offers a 6mm longer wheelbase for increased stability and it must be used with the +3mm top front and rear top decks. Despite being longer the chassis is good for the use with the standard centre driveshafts. Other new parts include an optional steering Ackermann arm set made from carbon fibre as well as 15 degree caster blocks for the front of the buggy. The items help to fine-tune the steering characteristics for a variety of surfaces.
