Bittydesign Seven65 body for Arrma 1/7th scale cars

Bittydesign have released this Seven65 body shell for the 1/7th scale Arrma Infraction/Limitless cars. Like their 1/8th GT version this too takes inspiration from British GT3 super cars but unlike that body, this new version benefits greatly from the Arrma’s more realistic wheelbase to make what is a great scale looking body shell. Made with high quality and genuine 1.5mm thick polycarbonate Lexan, it is sold clear with protective film outside and comes with a pre-cut decal sheet and windows masks and the kit includes a complete set of screws, nuts and large plastic washers to properly fix the rear wing.

Xray Active Differential for XB2/XT2

From Xray, this unique Active Differential is a high-performance, adjustable rear gear differential for the XB2 that vastly improves the buggy’s speed and handling characteristics. The special design of the internal components using different angled segments allows the diff gears to engage on-power to increase the forward traction, making it faster and easier to drive. While the Active Differential is a performance option for serious racers who want to gain an edge on superior speed and handling, it is also of great benefit to drivers of all levels that want a more predictable and easy-to-drive car in all racing conditions. Also suitable for the XT2.

Rêve D ultra lightweight M4 nut

Rêve D have introduced their large-diameter ultra-lightweight M4 serrated nut, optimised for the rear of the car. Their original RD-013 nuts have been well received as being ideal for the front, these are their new rear specific competition M4 nuts. Increasing the diameter of the flanged part helps to control some of the lateral forces applied to the wheel mounting point, helping to improve side bite. The hexagonal dimensions are still 5.5mm which is the same as RD-013 in order to use the same box wrench for both front and rear.
