MiBorg have expanded their line of RCV driveshafts with versions for the newly released Infinity IF14-II FWD. Utilising the design of full-scale cars the driveshafts use ceramic balls instead of cross pins to drive the wheel axle, which results in less vibration even with high steering angles. This leads to a more predictable driving and in addition the wheel axles allow the use of pin-less wheel hex adapters for a better wheel concentricity.

This reduction of unsprung mass, makes your steering more precise and your car faster in all track conditions.
Hobbywing have introduced their first drift specific speed controller, the XeRun XD10 Pro. Available in black, red and purple, they match a large majority of the drift chassis colour ways on the market. The 32-bit M4 processor is equipped with powerful software, features new programmable parameters and it is optimised for drift applications. The new parameters such as, initial start-up force adjustment, 48K ultra-high drive frequency, and 24K ultra-high brake frequency ensures excellent drivability. It is tailored to extract and maximise performance for high-end drifters. The stylish aluminium fan is powerful and helps to massively cool down the ESC, while the ultra-soft 13AWG silicone wire is ultra-flexible and low in resistance. The built-in BEC is able to support both high torque and high voltage servos and can be adjustable at 5.0-7.4V (adjusted to 0.1V/step).

New from Yokomo is this teams slide rack set that fits the YD-2Z. Since the aluminium slide rack rail has been lightened by changing its shape and milling, it is effective in reducing front traction weight and improving steering response and performance. It can be attached to the conventional YD-2 series, but a bulkhead and upper deck compatible with slide racks is required.
