Xceed NT1 & 733 composite gear diff gear sets

Xceed have composite gear differential gear sets for Xray NT1 and Serpent 733 1/10th scale gas cars. The precision molded composite gears, combined with light alu shafts, create a lighter and super smooth working gear-differential. The NT1 set needs just the gears and shafts, while the 733 also needs the light steel adapters and small bronze bushings to complete it. For both cars the alu shafts are a direct replacement for the original ones.

Hot Bodies TCX electric touring car

Having previously shown you the first images of this new car, Hot Bodies have released full details on their all new TCX electric touring car kit. The new narrow bulkhead design coupled with an elongated upper camber link centralizes the weight allowing the chassis to flex and improve handling. Chassis weight distribution is 50/50 keeping racers from having to add weights to balance the car. Less weight equals greater acceleration and reduces breaking distance. The end result is a car that carries maximum corner speed.

CRC Rear axle ride height spacers

Pan car racers can now keep that rear ride height fine tuned with these rear ride height spacers from CRC in 0.25 mm increments.
