New design Kyosho Inferno MP9 engine mount

Kyosho’s nitro off-road mastermind Yuichi Kanai introduced this new engine mount for the Kyosho MP9 1/8th off-road buggy. Instead of using two separate base plates the new mount is of a 1-piece U-shaped design which is understood to help with stability and rigidity while the engine itself is still mounted using spilt mounting blocks. The gun metal anodized part comes laser-etched and will become available from end of April.

Avid Associated 12mm shock & turnbuckle tool

Avid introduce the 12mm shock and turnbuckle tool for Team Associated 1/10th buggies such as the B5, B44.2 and T4.2. The tool works with Associated, JConcepts and Lunsford turnbuckles and can also be used to hold the shock bottom of the new AE 12mm shocks. The tool also mimics the servo mounting pattern of the B44 buggy allowing to mount the servo to the mounts outside of the chassis meaning everything will be nice, centred and tweak-free. Once the assembly is squared up detach it from the tool and mount it to the chassis. The tool is CNC-machined from 6061 aluminium and comes black anodised with silver edges and laser-etched logo.

VP-Pro Crosspass 1/10 buggy tyre

Available from May are the VP-Pro Crosspass 1/10th buggy rear tyres. Making use of the horseshoe tread introduced with the Friction tyre, the Crosspass features additional connecting crosses to reduce pin flexing for more stable and predictable handling on hard packed track surfaces. This creates a continuous line pattern across the entire surface of the tyre for unsurpassed stability, grip, and tread life. For extra traction and quicker break-in, the Crosspass also has tapered pins and alternating horizontal and vertical friction bars to allow some pin flexing. This provides even more side bite and forward bite on dusty hard packed blue-groove surfaces. The tyre will be available in VP-Pro’s medium, soft, and X-super soft compounds with or without closed cell inserts.
