Made for the Team Associated B74 4WD buggy are Bezerk’s new Plus 1 carbon fibre steering arms. The plates will add more Ackermann geometry to the buggy, with this helping with more steer in slower corners while smoothing out high speed steering. Made from 2.5mm glossy carbon fibre the set includes two arms.

IGT8 have introduced the new dynamic anti-dive support set for their line of 1/8th GT cars. The kit eliminates the front body roll when the front suspension is under compression by keeping the body levelled, avoiding unwanted tyre marks on the front fenders and thus increasing the steering. The set includes two machined carbon fibre levers that are attached to the front C-hubs with the red anodised alloy posts and ball bearings supporting the body shell. Also included is all needed hardware.

Coming from Xtreme Racing are some more carbon fibre optionals for the popular Arrma Limitless and and Infraction high-speed on-road bashing vehicles. First up are Limitless specific carbon fibre wing mount and wing end plates. The wing mount plates are machined from 2.5mm carbon material and they were designed to replace the standard plastic wing mount. Using the parts will provide a stronger support over the stock parts, resulting in improved downforce. The set includes two wing mount plates.
SMJ have introduced their new Teflon battery tape that will greatly lower the friction between the battery compartment surface and the battery case. Only 0.15mm thin the tape has a very low friction coefficient while not disturbing a low centre of gravity, ensuring the battery has way less influence in chassis tweak during cornering, ensuring more equal left-to-right chassis flex. The tape also offers protection to the chassis and battery case making both parts look fresh for a long time. SMJ recommend to place the tape on the lower side of the battery case instead of the main plate when running the latest breed of highly machined flex aluminium chassis.

Team Losi Racing have announced the release of a new -3mm aluminium main chassis for the 8ight-X 1/8th scale buggy. 3mm shorter than the kit chassis the new main plate will improve overall grip and stability which comes in handy in a variety of track conditions. Machined from high-quality aluminium the chassis sports a hard-anodised surface for wear and laser-etched markings for looks.

Infinity has released a new Spec 2 adjustable front oneway set for their World Championship winning 1:10 Nitro Onroad IF15 chassis. This is an upgraded version of IF15 front one-way set in which the bevel gear has been replaced with a newly-designed oneway plate. The new design means the one way dampening effect can be better controlled. In addition, this set enables the operation to be more stable for a longer period of time. Silicone oil of between 100,000 and 500,000 and rubber glue or silicon sealing agent are required for assembly. The adjustable oneway plate set is available as a separate spare part.

T-Works have introduced new stainless steel chassis protectors for the Team Associated B74 buggy. Made from high-quality material the skid plates improve chassis protection when running on highly abrasive surfaces or when racing on tracks with large jumps. The plates come as separate 2-piece sets for the front and rear and the plates also add some weight to the lowest point of the chassis which comes in handy to further lower the overall centre of gravity for high-bite surfaces.
