Available now from Arrowmax is this 64g side weight kit for the newer generation Yokomo B-Max2 buggies. It is understood that the brass weights are used to fill the empty battery compartment spaces to the left and right of the chassis when running a shorty battery pack in longitudinal configuration. The parts add 64g of weight to the centre of the chassis which can be helpful especially in very bumpy track conditions.

Xray introduce the all-new X10 200mm pan car in 2015 specification. First of all the car features a redesigned chassis with improved weight balance and an overall narrower appearance. The chassis accepts a standard 2S LiPo pack with the speedo and receiver sitting on the wider front part of the chassis while 1S packs allow to mount the electronics in-line in front or behind the battery. The narrower chassis also sports a more centrally placement of the rear links, resulting in increased steering response and improved side-to-side balance. A new narrower and ultra lightweight motor pod adds to the more agile handling the 2015 Spec car allows. Another new feature to the rear end are improved roll tube dampers with an aluminium outer tube and inner delrin rods for highest possible precision.

Yeah Racing have a new option part for the Axial SCX10 crawler and a multi-functional foam tape available. Starting with the SCX10 part, the rear aluminium bumper plate is made to add stability to the rear section of the ladder frame chassis while offering a cool new look at the same time. Coming blue anodised to match the remainder of Yeah Racing SCX10 related parts, the plate is a drop fit and does not require any modification.

Team C’s TC02 2W buggy and TC02T stadium truck are the latest vehicles to receive MIP’s Pucks drive systems treatment. Both sets are of the 17.5 specification, meaning they are specially designed for stock class racing as they include lightweight aluminium C-CVD driveshafts and aluminium outdrives making them ideal for spec racing due to the lower weight and rotational mass compared to the standard steel items. Included with the drive systems also come the name giving Pucks drive pin cushions, that make for a smoother and easier to maintain drivetrain, as well as steel wheel axles and new thrust races.

Exotek introduce an alloy topshaft and a direct spur mount for the Team Durango 210-series buggies and trucks. Starting with the topshaft, the part is machined from 7075 aluminium and weights in at only 3.9 grams compared to 9.2 grams of the stock shaft. The part substantially reduces the rotational mass and improves both the acceleration and braking performance of the vehicle. Coming hard anodised and polished the shaft is a direct replacement for the stock part.
New from Xray comes this 1-piece rear front lower suspension mount for the rear end of the T4 touring car. Designed to replace the standard split mount with a single piece holder, the part is best used on high-grip surfaces as it is made to improve steering and rotation into corners. Another benefit of the mount is a higher rigidity in crashes as the 7075 alloy part securely stays in place. The holder comes orange anodised and it is a direct replacement for the standard split mounts.

Team C recently revitalised the TC02C 4-gear mid motor buggy with the introduction of a gear differential conversion kit and now the proactive Asian company shows a first image of a TC02C “Evo” bodyshell. It is understood that many Team C team drivers requested a more “conventional” mid motor buggy as the company’s TM2 in-line mid motor buggy excels on very high grip surfaces but the ever present torque steering, due to its longitudinally mounted motor, gives the buggy a life of its own on medium-bite tracks and this is where the TC02C (Evo) buggy would kick in. Previously the Evo range marked the hop-up variants of existing buggies so you can expect the TC02C Evo to sport a variety of performance and durability enhancing options. We bring you more information on what appears to be Team C’s next project as soon as they become available.
