Containing nine different screw types the set includes a total of 98 fasteners to do away with the somewhat heavy standard steel screws in favour of more lightweight and cooler looking silver-colour screws. Also included is a multi-purpose mini box with removable partitions to store spare screws and other small parts.

Reflex Racing have introduced the all-new RX12 2017 aluminium chassis conversion kit for Xray’s X12 1/12th scale pan car. Made to maximise the performance of the ’14, ’15 or ’16 specific car to match the higher grip conditions of today’s carpet racing, the kit is designed around a transverse-specific 2.0mm 7075-T6 aluminium chassis and 2.0mm quasi-isotropic carbon fibre lower pod, which has been designed to lower the CG of the car to the max, by using thinner material and slightly heavier hard-anodised 7075-T6 Thyssen Krupp aluminium alloy for the main plate. The kit gives the option of a revised, rearward centre shock position, allowing for quicker steering response and reduced body roll, or the traditional Xray X12 shock placement. Additionally, the conversion also includes a revised motor position that shifts the motor 2mm to the right for better side to side pod balance and the wheelbase has been reduced to 200mm for better entry and mid corner steering. Lastly, in order to move the shock further back, a revised servo mount plate is included in the kit to take advantage of the revised geometry by moving back the front mounting position as well. The chassis comes hard-anodised in black with silver chamfered edges for the premium look people dig these days.
Ruddog Distribution have introduced their all-new RP1206 low-profile servo for 1/10th scale applications. Designed for demanding racing conditions the servo features a black anodised heavy-duty all-aluminium case, sturdy metal gears and a powerful coreless motor. Dual ball bearings and laser-etched logos round out the package. The high voltage compatible servo offers up to 12kg-cm of torque at a speed of down to 0.06s and it is available in two variants with a short 80mm or long 180mm all-black wire, allowing for neat wiring jobs in touring cars and off-road vehicles alike.

Made for the YD-4 drift car is Yokomo’s new SLF big bore set. The all-aluminium shocks come with Kashima-coated threaded shock bodies for silky-smooth damping action and they also feature aluminium upper and lower caps as well as chromed piston rods. Included in the 4-shock set is also suitable mounting material and to further up the performance Yokomo offers optional titanium-nitride coated shock shafts. Not included in the set are the needed shock springs.
Trinity have introduced the WWHD laydown transmission conversion for the Team Associated T5M and SC5M trucks. The Humpty Helms developed conversion will improve the truck’s corner speed especially in high bite conditions with the set including a machined laydown transmission case, carbon fibre motor plate, carbon fibre camber link mount, carbon fibre battery brace and two truck-specific shock towers along mounting hardware.
Coming soon from Schelle Racing Innovations is an upper titanium screw set for the Team Associated B6 buggy. Made using Grade 5 6Al-4V material the screws offer a 40 percent weight advantage over conventional steel screws while being highly corrosion resistant at the same time. The set strategically removes the kit’s steel screws from up high above the chassis, which lowers the centre of gravity and improves handling while all chassis bottom screws are not included in this set.

Coming from Team C and made for the TC02C Evo 2WD mid-motor buggy is a carbon fibre battery plate. Cut from high-quality material the brace replaces the original moulded plastic part for a better looking and less flexible solution that makes for secure battery mounting even in demanding racing conditions. The part also makes for a cool factory look and it is a direct replacement for the kit brace.
