DE Racing has just released this new rear skid plate for the Jammin / Hong Nor X1-CR/CRT and X2-CR/CRT buggies. Made of ultra thin resin, eliminating the need for longer screws, the plates provide protection for your expensive buggy or truggy chassis. The plate wears just like aluminium but is much cheaper to replace than a complete chassis.

Yokomo have released a full option version of their European and Japanese Championship winning B-Max4 buggy, as used by their Japanese National Championship drivers. The car, the B-Max4 ’09 has been strengthened through the use of aluminium option parts with a new central motor mount, lower suspenension brackets as well as a new steering brace. Other small changes have given this car better responsiveness, making this already winning car even better.
Team Associated have released all-new shock towers and suspension mounts that have been developed by their engineering staff and were race tested by factory team drivers. With a wide variety of tuning options for varying track conditions, both front and rear towers feature additional shock mounting positions while the rear tower also includes additional camber link positions. CNC machined from 7075 aluminium, these new shock towers are standard equipment on the RC8B and can be fitted to existing RC8, RC8RS, and RC8e chassis. All installation hardware and a set of hinge pin bushings (front) are included. Also the new suspension mounts come standard on the RC8B, but are the perfect upgrade for all RC8, RC8T, and SC8 vehicles. Because they are CNC machined from 7075 aluminium, they offer a precision fit and are extremely durable. All plates come with the necessary installation hardware, while the B and D-plate come with additional titanium nitride-coated hinge pins and a set of hinge pin bushings.
