Two new items for the TLR 22 5.0 from Exotek, starting with this super light titanium axle set. Suitable for the VHA buggy hubs only the new axles help reduce the weight and rotating mass of your driveline for quicker acceleration. Over 40% lighter than the stock steel axles at only 4.2gr each. Next up is a hard anodised 7075 alloy 38T idler gear, a must have for high powered racing applications. This is much stronger than the stock plastic idler gear but not indestructible so it is important to use black or white grease on the gears and reapply frequently to prolong its life along with proper slipper adjustments.
SWorkz have released the new Dirt Edition S12-2D 1/10 2wd EP buggy. The geometry of the car has been optimised for corner speed and ease of handling on dirt conditions and on medium to low grip carpet tracks. The S12-2D features a new dirt version gear box system, fitted on a new T7075 hard anodised and lightweight aluminium chassis, with a new layout that allows up to 6 different battery positions. The flex of the chassis can also be changed by adjusting the side guards. it also comes with a brand new design 1/10 Pro-Shock System that has a new emulsion precision plastic shock caps and shock pistons with seals. The kit includes 4mm carbon front shock towers and a newly designed front C-Hub geometry. SWorkz Teflon coated shock shafts gives smooth action and the black line shock springs with a new designed, rotation protected spring holder, are standard in the kit too. Also new are the angled lower arms that provide a lower Shock position which leads to a lower centre of gravity. A neat feature is the quick release system for the ball differential, which can be mounted in 3 different positions. The rear lower arms are also angled and the rear shock tower of the S12-2D has got different height positions.

The upper shock holes on the rear towers have been moved +1.0mm up and spaced differently, compared to the stock shock tower. In addition the upper link holes have been optimised for simplified setup options and the wing mount can be moved 7.0mm upwards.

Expanding their Atsushi Hara Momentum tool line, Yeah Racing have released this complete setup system for 1/10th touring. The setup system has been redesigned from their previous iterations to give racers even more accurate measurements. They have incorporated bearings to keep everything smooth so the friction of your setup surface will not prevent the setup system from getting an accurate measurement. They have also given it that distinctive black and purple finish and even managed to make it more lightweight.

OfficinaRC have presented the reinterpretation of the famous alu smart shim. They have applied a laser marking 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 recognise the fitted size and, above all, you will no longer need a caliper. Measurements are defined by solid lines and segmented lines. The solid ones indicate millimetres and the segmented ones indicate half millimetres. Sold in a package of 8 pieces per size they are available in 3x6x1mm, 3x6x1.5mm, 3x6x2.0mm, 3x6x2.5mm & 3x6x3.0mm.

Team Yokomo’s competition drift brand, Teams, have announced the release of their new light weight flex chassis set for the YD-2 series. The lightweight graphite main chassis plate and special lightweight battery holder provide the right amount of rigidity and traction for a more balanced and controlled feel. While the design is slim and stylish, the weight and rigidity has been carefully balanced with bold cut-outs and milling on the bottom chassis plate. The flex balance not only improves rear traction, but also the load on the front tyre, ensuring better response of the steering. The chassis is also designed to take advantage of the inherent flex of the chassis material, with separate FR/RF suspension mounts to allow for unobstructed flex. The battery holder is also compact and separate, maximising the use of the whole chassis plate and allowing the car to keep constant traction on uneven surfaces and extreme throttle input.
