Introducing the limited edition Hannya 1/10th scale high performance drift car from Onisiki. Featuring several design features which increases performance and also increase quality of life whilst building, each individual car will have its own unique number marked on the chassis. Flippable suspension mounts allows the suspension pin to be lower than the chassis plate to further tune the roll centre of the car and there is also multiple camber link mounting holes on the rear hubs that allow you to further fine tune how your car reacts in the corners.

Reflex Racing have released their GLR GT brass chassis, for the 1/28th GL Racing GT. Designed to increase stability, keep the car flatter and make it more consistent over a full run, they have achieved this by moving the weight bias of the car further forward by scalloping the battery area and making the front section wider. They also have finished the chassis in a slick, black coating with laser engraved Reflex logo and have chamfered the edges of the contact areas to reduce friction and make the chassis really pop.

Mugen Seiki have released the MBX8R buggy, the result of extensive testing and development by some of the best drivers in the world. The team spent a lot of time testing and developing the MBX8R geometry in race conditions throughout 2021, which lead to many major victories, with Ryan Maifield winning The Dirt Nitro Challenge, Silver State Nitro Challenge and ROAR 1/8th Fuel Nationals all in the same year. The MBX8R has many new parts to increase stability, rear traction, improved jumping, and have a wide tuning range. The buggy uses new narrow RF (C) and RR (D) pivot blocks with new pivot inserts for increased tune-ability. Further updates include longer box-shaped suspension arms and arm stiffeners, with the rear arm using an impact resistant material for increased durability. Adjusting the hardness of the lower suspension arms is possible with optional CFRP plates. The rear uprights are also new, the moulded uprights have CFRP plates to adjust rear roll centre. New front shock tower and upper front arm mount use new pivot inserts for increased tune-ability.

Xray have presented their new for 2022 XB4 1/10th electric 4wd buggy. Featuring a new chassis layout with centre slipper/diff, motor and battery moved significantly forward makes the car faster and easier to drive on any surface. It sports a unique one-way centre slipper with precisely adjustable slipper for more forward traction, less diving under braking and easier landings. The side guards have now symmetrical mounting to the chassis left and right and the chassis features multiple battery mounting positions with various O-ring diameters for every battery size. Sporting centre dogbones for better performance and less maintenance, their new front & rear diff outdrives with inner O-rings help eliminate damage in high impacts. There is also a redesigned servo holder and shorter radio plate that is fitted directly on chassis so it has no negative effect on chassis flex. The new aluminium centre bulkhead is designed to fit the new one-way centre slipper (carpet version) and the arm lengths for both carpet and dirt versions have been standardised with both kits coming with short length hard front arms and long hard rear arms in the hard composite. There is a new front graphite chassis T-Brace (carpet edition) to increase front stability on high traction tracks, making the car more predictable and easier to drive. The T-Brace is mounted via included aluminium posts to the chassis and to the front lower brace. And finally there is different centre upper top decks included in the Carpet and Dirt versions due to the dimensions of the one-way slipper vs gear diff
