Coming from Wrap-up Next is a bearing adapter set for the Yokomo YD-2 drift car. The adapters allow to use 850 bearings instead of the standard 1050 ball races which can make for lighter rolling front tyres and thus improved car balance during cornering. The set includes four adapters, enough to outfit both steering knuckles.
Coming from Usukani and made for their PDS series drift cars are several new option parts. The range includes AlTiN shock shafts in a dark finish, an 28T ceramic-coated aluminium mid gear including bearings, a 20T ceramic-coated aluminium top shaft gear as well as reinforcement plate set for front upper arms. The range is rounded out by a 30mm fan mount set. All parts are available from now on with the 28T mid gear also fitting the Yokomo YD-2 drift car.
Rounding out what appears to be a “coming soon” Tuesday is Italian company Bittydesign’s announcement of their own range of high-quality airbrushes. Bittydesign is known for their popular and successful line of body shells, that are also available Pro pre-painted, and full details on their first ever “air pencil” will be unveiled this coming Friday.

Coming from Klinik RC and made for Schumacher’s current Cougar 2WD and Cat 4WD buggies are precision-machined shock pistons. Designed to fit and perform they fit the shock bodies extremely well and have precise dimensions to ensure 100 percent consistency and accuracy. The pistons are precision-machined from genuine Dupont Teflon and they have the hole sizes machined into the top for easy identification. Attached much more secure than the stock pistons, the stock countersunk screw fits the top perfectly, doing away with loose or lost screws in the middle of a run. The pistons come in sets of two and in the most popular 2-hole and 3-hole setups.

Capricorn have introduced new shock bodies and pistons for their C804, C04 and TE04 platforms that create progressive shock action. The inner part of the shock bodies feature machined pockets that are wider at the bottom and narrower at the top and in combination with a special shock piston, a progressive shock action can be obtained that starts on the soft side while becoming harder during the shock compression. Testing has shown that the shocks will assist with stability and provide higher cornering speeds. The shock bodies will become available for the 1/8th scale C804, as well as the 1/10th scale C04 and TE04 platforms.
