Avid’s new MBX8R carbon arm inserts set includes the 1.0mm front and rear inserts to offer your buggy another great tuning feature by reducing the flex and twist in the arm. In the past, Avid offered several different thicknesses but have learned that 1.0mm is all you need so no more guessing. These are available as a complete set or individually.

Reedy Zappers DR 8250mAh batteries have been designed specifically for the demands of drag racing and feature high capacity and C ratings to minimize voltage drop at launch while their inherently heavier weight aids in achieving the ideal front/rear weight distribution. Performance is not restricted by typical plugs and skimpy wires thanks to a heavy-duty QS8 plug with beefy 8-gauge wires in a 2S-5P configuration. Like all Zappers batteries, the 8250mAh variant is constructed using cells featuring the latest advancements in LiPo chemistry and construction techniques to maximise power output without sacrificing durability. Reedy’s engineering team strives to improve all aspects of battery performance in the increasingly popular and competitive world of RC drag racing.

Hobbywing have announced their latest motor release, the XeRun V10 G4. Built for the ultra competitive Stock racing category, the V10 G4 has been tested and developed together with World and European champions. This new generation has been greatly optimised with the stator being redesigned for higher efficiency and is equipped with ultra high grade custom magnetic ring rotor for maximum torque and increasing the output power by 5%. The internal resistance has also been reduced by about 4% resulting in a more efficient and cooler temperature of the motor. The motor adopts a full exposed stator core and is directly exposed to the air for excellent heat dissipation. The outer diameter is maximised to increase the stator heat dissipation area by 25.6% compared to the V10 G3R motor. The motor is equipped with a high-precision endbell plate that uses high quality structural components to greatly improve the consistency and structural stability of the power output at all times. The V10 G4 adpots a modular structural design which is convenient for maintenance which prolongs the service life of the motor.

Exotek have introduced 4 new high performance machined POM spur gears for all Exotek slipper eliminator hubs. Available in 104T, 99T, 94T and 89T, they are 100% machined POM to insure true roundness, with extra interior machining to reduce overall weight for reduced rotating mass. Much stiffer and truer than moulded nylon spur gears, they require three M3x6 button head screws (not included). These sizes are best suited for stand up or raised transmissions as they may be too big for most laydown transmissions.

Continuing to expand their Landmines lineup, JConcepts have created an all-new 2.2” x 3.0” performance all-terrain SCT tire. The Landmines, developed over a 2-year period of testing, tuning and analysis have reached the summit and now available to the SCT enthusiast. The design starts with a robust carcass carefully shaped and sized for a multitude of conditions and capable of driving over a variety of terrain while being down-to-earth enough to carry a scale appearance. The team spent considerable time with the split-block centre design which has been sliced, stepped, and recessed for flexibility and contortion over sharp, loose, and polished surfaces. The Landmines have alternating solid and cavity pads which is ideal for transitioning from smooth dirt or pavement into dirt, mud, and rocky terrain. Moving toward the edges of the carcass, the SCT tire has horizontal grippy pads with edge and channels to provide additional forward climbing bite.
