Made for the Hot Bodies D8T Tessmann Edition nitro truggy are five additional steering block arm sets from HPI Racing. They are made to fine tune the handling of the truck with the steering arm set ‘Type 1’ offering the least Ackermann steering geometry with the Ackermann effect increasing across the range of arm sets as the ‘Type’ number increases respectively. More Ackermann makes the car easier to drive, the less Ackermann, the more aggressive the car becomes. All plates are made from high quality carbon fibre and come marked with milled dots for easy identification. Click here to view the Type 6 Ackermann plates

Exotek introduce two carbon fibre front shock towers for the TLR 22 2.0 and the Kyosho SC6 truck. Starting with the TLR part, the shock tower is made of 5mm high-quality carbon fibre and much stiffer and stronger than the original composite item resulting in a more consistent damper action. Extra machining reduces unnecessary weight while improving airflow through the shock stay at the same time. The tower fits both the 22 and newer 22 2.0. Also new and made for the Kyosho SC6 and RT6 is a 4mm front shock tower. Again made to improve shock action the part offers additional outer shock mounting holes for added tuning options while lower countersunk holes insure exact mounting and alignment which is critical for taller shock towers.
