Coming soon from Team C Racing is a new swaybar set for the TM2 2WD and TM4 4WD buggy. Included are hard 1.6mm, 1.8mm and 2.0mm swaybar wires as well as a pair of pivot balls. The large diameter rear swaybars are ideal to fine-tune the buggy’s roll characteristics on high-traction surfaces.

Coming from JConcepts are the Fin styled serrated 17mm wheel nuts for 1/8th scale off-road vehicles and GT cars. These high-precision wheel nuts are flanged and knurled for locking security and feature a closed end to protect from dirt and debris build-up in the axle or hub. Completely CNC-machined, the large flange and clamping surface area supports the wheel and helps maintain geometry during flex and load. The larger area also provides more footing for the serrated area which provides a more comfortable lock-down. Cutting weight was accomplished by reducing material sections in unneeded areas, in addition, the nut is sliced removing even more bulk and adding a “Fin” like appearance. The wheel nuts come in sets of four and in blue or black colour.

Coming from Serpent are three different main chassis plates for the Eryx 4.0 touring car. First up is a 2.0mm carbon fibre chassis that is working well on both asphalt and carpet tracks. It helps to generate a good amount of rear traction and a bit less steering and it also comes in handy to avoid traction rolling on super high-bite tracks. Also available is a 2.25mm carbon fibre chassis for asphalt racing. It helps to gain steering and response on the expense of a slightly nervous and edgy car behaviour. Last but not least is a 2.0mm aluminium chassis for the use on carpet tracks. It makes for a lower centre of gravity and less traction rolling while keeping a good balance between steering response and an easy to drive car.

Schumacher have introduced 12.5 degree alloy yokes for the CAT 4WD buggy. The parts are made from black anodised aluminium and using them makes for more on-power steering coming out of the corner while increasing straight line stability. This will help on bumpy tracks but with the loss of some initial steering. The laser-etched hubs have the same features as the kit plastic 10 degree yokes as well as an optional longer camber link and +1mm wheelbase adjustment.
