New from Arrowmax and made for all 1/10th buggy wheels with 14mm hex adapters is the tyre balancing station. The tool is made from high-quality aluminium, it comes gun metal anodised and machined to match Arrowmax’ signature honeycomb design. The ball-raced wheel adapter minimised friction for a high degree of accuracy when balancing your buggy wheels.

New from Team Associated are +2 degree graphite steering block arms for the RB8B3 and B3e buggy. These new arms increase the steering Ackermann of the vehicle, resulting in a smoother steering feel when compared to the standard steering block arm set. Made from quality woven-carbon fibre for strength, slight weight savings, and a factory look.
Coming from TLR and made for the SCTE 2.0 4WD short course truck is the dogbone centre driveline set. The front- and rear center dogbones eliminate the friction of a CV coupler and reduce the bind caused after the front centre CV coupler wears. The set utilises shorter and lighter front and rear outdrives in the centre for faster acceleration and longer diff life with today’s power systems while also offering increased longevity due to bone float. The set is designed to fit the standard and -3mm chassis.

Absima have two new pre-glued tyre sets for 1/10th 2WD buggies available. First up is a dedicated front tyre with cut rib design that is suitable for a range of surfaces. Also new is a medium-size block tread tyre, good for the use on hard-packed or artificial surfaces. Both come pre-glued on black zero off-set rims with industry standard 12mm hex and they are sold as pairs.
Exotek have introduced the Exo22T mid motor chassis conversion kit for the TLR 22T and mid motor converted 22T 2.0 stadium trucks. With its simple and efficient layout, the Exo22T offers improved rearward weight positioning of the battery and electronics to better suit a variety of track conditions. The chassis allows standard inline shorty battery positioning or the easy to drive side ways mounted shorty battery installation. Included in the set is a black anodised 2.5mm 7075 alloy chassis with 5mm carbon side rails for proper stiffness and strength. Pocket milling in the chassis lowers the battery and speed controller for a lower overall centre of gravity while the included carbon LiPo strap also acts as a top plate. The LiPo strap is fastened to the rear alloy brace and two alloys posts and part of the package is also a machined 7075 alloy nose plate that is used for durability while allowing for inexpensive chassis swaps.

Coming from Team Titan and made for 200mm touring cars is the VSR bodyshell. Designed with an emphasis on front end grip the body will still offer a stable and balanced feel that can be tweaked using the supplied rear wing that offers two different trim lines to make for easy aerodynamic tuning. The body is available in a regular weight 1.0mm and a lightweight 0.8mm variant and it includes window masks and a decal sheet.
PR Racing USA have introduced the all-new lightweight aluminium chassis for the S1 V3 2WD buggy. Lightweight yet rigid the chassis is made from high-quality gun-metal anodised aluminium and it sports carbon fibre insets to reduce the overall weight by 30 grams. The chassis is a direct fit and ideal for all applications where a low weight is needed such as in spec motor classes.

Xray have introduced the graphite floating servo mount for the T4’15 and T4’16 cars. Machined from high-quality carbon fibre the plate allows to run the car’s steering assembly in four different configurations to alter the flex characteristic of the front part of the chassis. Beside the kit standard, with the steering bellcranks mounted to the chassis, the bellcranks can also be attached to the floating servo mounting plate so chassis flex does not longer has influence the steering angle. The latter makes the car easier to driver in high-traction conditions and on very bumpy tracks. To further alter the flex settings of the chassis, Xray #302570 steering plate can be used to connect the bellcranks with the servo mounting plate when run in standard configuration. Included with the carbon fibre plate come short aluminium standoffs for the floating steering system and more information on the available flex settings can be found here.
