T-Works have releases these front and rear shock tower sets for the Team Associated RC8 T3.2. Both towers have been machined from high quality carbon fibre, the front using 5mm while the rear uses 4mm, and come supplied with short shock standoffs. Also supplied with the necessary fasteners to mount the shocks.
Officina RC have presented their new lower 6mm pivot balls in titanium for the new Xray X4. Machined from solid titanium and 100% made in Italy they will offer a 40% weight saving from the original. Thanks to the titanium it will significantly reduce the masses of weight in the outermost point of the car, making it more robust, in a point exposed to shocks. Also new are these centre shim screws with central flange that have been created and designed to guarantee optimal tightening of the shock absorbers by reinforcing the anchor point and at the same time reducing the weight compared to the original ones. Thanks to the support surface in contact with the arm, the centre shim screw prevents the screw from bending.

Following the release of their alu smart shims, OfficinaRC have introduced these new brass smart shims. They have applied a laser on the side of the shim in order to immediately recognise its size, saving time and making everything easier. Now you will no longer have any doubts about which size it is, at a glance you will be able to identify the fitted size and no longer need a caliper. The material used, brass, plays a fundamental role, increasing the weight at the lowest point in order to help lower the centre of gravity and make the car even more stable. Measurements are defined by solid lines and segmented lines. The solid ones indicate millimetres and the segmented ones indicate half millimetres. The zig-zag line indicates the 1.75mm one. Available in the following sizes, 3x9x1.0mm (0.50g), 3x9x1.5mm (0.72g), 3x9x1.75mm (0.83g), 3x9x2.0mm (0.95g), 3x9x2.5mm (1.20g), 3x9x3.0mm (1.44g) and 3x9x3.5mm (1.66g). Each package contains 8 pieces per size.

Power HD has announced the release of their Mugen MTC2 specific servo, the S15-M. With the integrated mount and reverse receiver wire output, this S15-M could perfectly mount to the Mugen MTC2 directly.

From PSM for your Mugen MBX8 are new front and rear shock towers featuring an optimised geometry. On the front tower the upper shock holes have been moved +0.5mm up compared to the stock shock tower. In addition the upper shock holes have been spaced different for simplified setup options. The upper shock holes on the rear towers have been moved +0.5mm up and spaced differently, compared to the stock shock tower. In addition the upper link holes have been optimised for simplified setup options.

New from Ultimate Racing are these useful 1/8 offroad insert rubber rings. Manufactured to fit into each of the insert’s grooves, once fitted the insert is practically fixed to the rim. In this way, the insert is prevented from moving laterally, improving stability in fast corners. It also prevents the insert from ballooning making the car much more stable under acceleration. They can be used on most inserts, wheel brands and compounds, but their effects are greatest on soft compound tires. Depending on whether you want the insert to be more or less fixed, they can be used in all three grooves, in two or only in one. They are sold in bags of 50 pieces so that you can assemble from 4 to 12 complete cars depending on the amount of rubber bands used per insert. Once the life of the tire is over, they can be reused as many times as you want.
