The inserts come in pairs and they are available soon.

Coming from JConcepts is the black colour Fin titanium turnbuckle set for the Team Associated B6.1 buggy. The base of the design is centered around a .143” titanium hex size which gradually tapers down into a 3mm thread base design which accepts the standard AE ball-cup configuration. The focus of the styling surrounds the lengthened adjustment hex area and the “finned” cuts that rotate about the center. The turnbuckles are lightweight and the black coloring gives the stealthiest look in the pits and on the track.
Vigor RC now offer the popular white colour low-friction drive belts in a 513mm front and a 189mm rear variant. The 3mm wide belts greatly improve drivetrain efficiency due to being softer and more flexible compared to the standard black belts. The belts are made in Japan, they fit many of today’s electric touring cars and are especially useful in stock and blinky classes.
Coming from Xray and made for their X1 formula car as well as other formula class pan cars is a rear solid axle set. The spool axle is made up using a highly precise graphite axle shaft and a clamping design aluminium adapter all of which replace the standard diff assembly for a lighter spool that helps to gain traction especially in high to very high grip conditions. While improving acceleration the spool axle also makes for increased steering in certain track conditions.
