Fenix Racing introduce a number of new parts for their Mistral 2.0 formula car. First up are the LMP side wings that, when used with parts from the G56, accommodate the use of different links to tune the handling of the car. Additionally there are several new body post locations to fit LMP, Group C or GT3 style bodies and also allow for the use of longer side dampers or side shocks. There are also new formula side wings that provide the option to use different links to setup the car. Next up is a longer carbo Ackermann plate for additional steering settings and finally there is also a new front end brace for the Mistral 2.0. The brace helps improve the front end rigidity for better and sharper steering. Fenix also have two new turnbuckle wrenches in 3mm and 4mm versions, which are pretty cool with their carbon fibre and blue anodised aluminium handles.

From Xpress for their XQ10, this new adjustable Ackermann steering plate allows the user to adjust the distance between the two ballends on the steering bridge through the use of inserts. What this achieves is different Ackermann settings and adjusts how much steering angle difference you can achieve between the outside and inside tires when you turn. By using a larger distance (bigger number) the outside wheel will turn more and create a more aggressive feeling. The 8.0mm insert will make the wheels turn at a more equal angle and will result in a more stable driving car. The other inserts included are 8.5 and 9.0.

Smokem Racing’s new RS chassis plate for the ARC R12 offers reduced scrub compared to the factory chassis. By removing the short arm suspension mounts, the RS design eliminates excess material from the profile that’s no longer required. The new RS chassis also moves the holes for the rear suspension blocks forward by 1mm which allows racers who use ARC’s R12 ATS system with parallel hinge pins to maintain the same wheelbase by using no shims in front of the suspension arms, something that cannot be achieved with the factory chassis without modifying the suspension arms. Meanwhile racers who run the fixed rear toe suspension can maintain their stock wheelbase by using 2mm of shims in front of the suspension arms instead of 1mm. The chassis is made from high quality 2.25mm thick carbon fibre.
Similar in design to the recently release ONG RC8B3.2 shock caps, RC Project have released shock caps for the Sworkz S35-4 & S35-3 and also for the HB Racing D819RS, D819 & D817. The 6 upper machined pockets on the cap have a dual purpose, reducing the weight of the cap, making it the lightest on the market as well as helping with heat dissipation. The 3 bleed holes coupled to the new membranes will allow a rebound close to 0 and a homogeneous response between the shock absorbers once closed. For the HB specific shock caps, the new geometry allows a front droop up to 107 mm in order to adapt the set-up according to the type of track with the caps mounting on the shock tower without any modification. Both kits include 12 membranes with 3 different hardnesses that will allow you to vary the behaviour of the shock absorber based on the track, the driving style and temperature.
The kit standard S35-4E servo mount is made from plastic and now SWorkz have released a new option made from CNC machined aluminium. Hard coated, the new servo mount will provide the steering servo a more solid mounting and quicker steering response.
