Coming from Team Powers is their limited edition on-road car stand that is an updated version of their already available carbon and aluminium car stand. Changes made include an aluminium top plate for an improved appearance and the included turnbuckle wrench is now of an aluminium design rather than carbon, making for improved durability. All other features, such as an arrangement of setup tools like chassis blocks, a droop and a ride height gauge are understood to remain unchanged.

…design elements from many of today’s top full-scale bumper manufacturers. RPM start with an upper tubular shape, followed by faux stamped sheet metal filleted holes, a scale license plate area and with a final touch of a pair of scale 3” square openings for 5mm LEDs. The RPM bumper supports are designed tough, with serious impact absorption characteristics built in. With the use of an optional RPM rear bumper mount, the protection for the motor becomes nearly indestructible. The rear bumper is available in black or blue colour and it is made from engineering grade nylons.

T-Works have introduced two sets of front CV-style driveshafts for the Xray XB4’18 and ’17 buggies. Available as standard or special “left thread” set, the driveshafts are made form high-quality steel for durability while the machined wheel axle shafts ensure a good bearing fit. The sets are direct replacements with the left thread set, utilising a single left thread wheel axle, being made to reduce the chance of loosing the wheel nut as it will self-lock during use.

…strength and stability. Addition bracing of weak areas makes the tower nearly indestructible and it adds to the already existing front flat arm and long rear shock tower. Also new is the B64 front carbon top deck that is a direct fit without any modifications. This top deck replaces the moulded brace and instead of connecting to the servo mount it extends to the centre diff mount for more rigidity in the front end. This removes the springing action from the chassis which allows for the tyres to stay in contact with the surface more consistently. Source: Avid [avidrc.com] http://www.avidrc.com…
