TLR 8ight 4.0 1/8th nitro buggy kit

TLR has given the ROAR Championship winning 8ight platform a subtle makeover to boost on-track performance and ease of handling. First up is the revised suspension geometry with adjustable 15 degree caster blocks that make it possible to tune dog bone plunge by changing the height of the spindle. Also the shock towers have been redesigned with new camber link and shock mounting holes that provide more tuning options for evolving track conditions. On top of that the kit the front spindles and rear hubs have been revised to accept a larger 8x16x5mm outer bearings for increased durability. Part of the revised suspension package are also bleeder shock caps, with new internal seals to allow for easier shock rebuild and new shock bushings improve durability.

SWorkz S104 Evo Series centre slipper clutch set

New from SWorkz and made for the S104 Evo 1/10th 4WD buggy is a slipper clutch set to replace the centre differential. It brings a tuning aid that is particularly welcome on high-grip surfaces and the slipper setup also gives better feel to the car when applying power out of turns on high-grip tracks allowing to shave those lap times down. The slipper is a three pad design giving super consistent performance throughout a run due to improved heat dissipation and surface area. Using hard coated slipper plates ensures long life and reduced maintenance. Included with the set come three different main gears, making gear ratio adaptions a breeze.

Gravity RC extra high viscosity pure silicone diff putty

Gravity RC have introduced their new 20 million Cst pure silicone diff putty. The 100 percent Polydimethysiloxane fluid is recommended as an alternative to commonly used putty in gear differentials or other moving applications. The extra thick putty offers ultimate reforming properties and due to its viscosity it can easily be handled with no mess, though the package still comes with an applicator syringe as a bonus.

Yokomo BD7-2016 electric touring car kit

Following a first teaser Yokomo have more information and images of their forthcoming BD7-2016 1/10th scale electric touring car kit available. To make for maximum versatility the car is based on a carbon fibre main chassis plate, good for carpet and asphalt racing alike, with the 2016 version featuring pretty substantial updates in the drivetrain and suspension departments as the kit features all-new low-profile front and rear bulkheads that place the front spool and rear differentials 3 millimetres lower compared to the 2015 spec car. This was made possible by using smaller diameter pulleys that not only make for an overall lower centre of gravity but they also increase throttle response and reduce the gyro effect, resulting in sharper cornering. The top of the bulkhead covers is also lowered by 3 millimetres while the top deck now sits 2 millimetres lower. To take the low-profile design one step further also the shock towers received an update with the 2016 parts sitting 7.8 millimetres closer to the ground compared to the predecessor. To round out the low-profile package the BD7-2016 utilises the new SLF Short Shock II big bore dampers whose inner diameter increased from 10.2 millimetres to 11.2 millimetres for a larger volume and more consistent damping action. Overall the new low profile design makes for improved and less abrupt weight transfer for a smoother ride especially at high speeds and on high-grip tracks without affecting overall grip and traction. Last but not least will the kit include high-quality spring steel double-joint front universal shafts to replace the standard parts of the previous kits. Beside the full car kit, that will ship beginning of December, Yokomo will also have a conversion kit for the existing BD7-2015 available.

Schelle D413 +4mm alloy chassis & B5M C-mount

Schelle Racing Innovations have new option parts for the HB D413 and the Team Associated B5M buggy available. Starting with the aluminium stretch chassis, the +4mm longer wheelbase gives the car a longer footprint, reducing the pitching weight transfer that can cause the car to “3 wheel” and pick up a rear tyre in the turns. Also in the air, the car with the longer chassis is less sensitive and the car is also meant to be easier to control and drive hard without getting upset on braking, turn-in, or corner exit. Also, at 153g total weight the added 53g of weight and stiffness created by the alloy material stabilise the car on high grip. The chassis is recommended for indoor astro, carpet, and high-grip clay and the set includes the 2.5mm 7075 chassis, front top deck, instructions, chassis protector, O-ring dogbone spacers, and a Schelle mini decal.
