T-Works have announced the release of a titanium shock standoff set for the Tekno RC NB48 2.0 buggy. Machined from high-quality 64-grade titanium the shock mounts offer a lower weight than the standard steel standoffs while being less prone to corrosion at the same time. Due to the lower weight of the standoffs, the buggy‘s centre of gravity will be lowered which can be beneficial especially in high-grip track conditions. The set includes four standoffs and it is available now.

Samix have introduced their new aluminium lower shock and suspension link mounts for the Element RC Enduro trail trucks. The parts are machined from high-quality aluminium and they come black or blue anodised for added surface protection and good looks. Using the mounts of the stock parts will provide improved rigidity and durability while eliminating unwanted flex. The sets include four laser-etched mounts, enough to outfit a complete truck.
Coming from Team Raffee are new HD hardened steel centre driveshafts that are usable for most 1/10th trail trucks and crawlers. Made of high-quality hardened steel, the rebuildable design centre driveshafts feature O-ring retained cross pins, precision CVD joints for smooth operation and 11mm long M3 thread pins with 2.4mm pin diameter. Four different shafts of 85-114mm, 98-126mm, 110-138mm or 122-151mm length are available.
Exotek have announced the release of their new 30mm aluminium touring car fan shroud. It was developed to blast the motor fan’s air directly onto and through the motor vents for a maximum cooling effect. Importantly, the shroud positions the fan about 12mm away from the motor can to help prevent the motor magnets from impeding the fan motor and the shroud’s lightweight alloy construction insures factory looks and extra durability. The shroud comes supplied with M2.5×16 screws to attach the fan to the shroud while the whole assembly is mounted using a small square of optional R/C sticky tape, right up against the motor. Not included comes the required 30mm fan.

Rêve D have introduced their first products in the form of the RS-ST digital high-torque drift car servo and the RS-PGC USB programming dongle. Starting with the RS-ST servo, it features an IRC motor for super high torque values while offering very smooth operation as it is needed for controllable counter steering angles during competitive drift car driving. An aluminium middle case makes for good heat dissipation while offering a low weight. Due to the servo’s high-torque specification it is 2.5mm taller than usual low-profile types.
