Xpress has introduced a completely new redesigned V2 camberlink stiffener set to work with their Execute XQ11 1:10 Electric Touring Car. Featuring Aluminium Turnbuckle for lightweight, the complete overhaul allows the use of the same length turnbuckle and better position body support screw for when the suspension compresses. The set includes 2 X Camberlink Prongs, 6 X Ball Ends, 4 X Aluminium Turnbuckles, 4 X Screws, and 2 X Pillow Balls.
Mini Z parts manufacturer KM Racing have release this 94mm Disc Damper for the Kyosho MR04. Both functional and aesthetically pleasing, it is compatible with KM Racing MR04 low CG motor mount the Hong Kong company announced last month. Integrated with the MR04 chassis for a cleaner and more aesthetically refined appearance, it reduces traction roll incidents during racing.
Xray has released details of the 2026 kit of their X4F Front Wheel Drive Touring Car. The X4F‘26 features an all-new carbon chassis with mid and rear cut outs which creates flex that generates more rotation and steering. The 12-gram weight reduction from the cutouts means more ballast weight can be positioned on the chassis to alter weight distribution. Xray have also redesigned the carbon rear upper holder to improve durability in hard crashes. The carbon plate utilises a new wave design, instead of the previous fixed cross member, which allows more flex in the rear suspension to improve rotation and off-power steering. Link style upper suspension arms are included in the kit as an alternative to the traditional CFF upper arms for maximum adjustability & improved handling in certain conditions. The car gets shorter shocks, positioned 3mm lower than previous geometry, improving cornering speed, mid-corner steering and stability, it also reduce traction rolling in high traction conditions. New shock holders are relocate to the upper shock mount positions to compliment shorter shock geometry. All-new adjustable steering arm provides easy Ackermann tuning by changing eccentric bushings and the servo mount has been redesigned for the new carbon battery holder. A new rear top deck with a more open rear section improves rotation and off-power steering.

New from Team Titan is this stiffener set for lightweight 1:10 Touring Car bodyshells. The newly designed ightweight PLA material stiffeners weigh only 1-gram each. The stiffener can provide more support to the rear of the bodyshell and prevent body tuck in the race. Stiffeners can be fixed to the body with double-sided tape or body glue and are supplied as a bag of 4-pieces for 2 bodyshells.
New from California based manufacturer Exotek Racing comes this hard anodised 7075 machined alloy chassis for their F1Ultra R5 and CW series 1:10 Formula chassis. Thanks to its slight weight increase, long wheelbase and stiffer feel over the carbon chassis, it helps produce excellent handling in all conditions- whether loose asphalt or high grip carpet. This chassis greatly reduces the centre of gravity for reduced chassis roll for greater corner speeds and an improved ‘balanced feel’ at any track versus a carbon chassis. Designed for use as inline or transverse shorty battery placements, inline carbon fibre battery guides are included with a Battery Tray required for transverse battery mounting. Weighing 75-grams compared to the Stock R5 carbon chassis at 49-grams, the hard anodised chassis is 2.5mm thick in the main sections and 2mm thick in the center cut section.
Yokomo has announced the upcoming release of Aluminium lightweight SP steering blocks for their RD/SD series of 1:10 Drift cars. This is a colour version of the Offset 0 steering block for the RD/SD series, which has been well-received for its neutral characteristics, and now comes in three new colours: blue, purple, and red. Compared to the standard plastic blocks, the aluminium version is much stiffer and improves steering response. Axle retention accuracy is also improved, making it easier to trace the front line and reducing drive loss. This provides a sense of stability and dynamic driving, especially when entering a corner from a straightaway. Sharp turning movement is also achieved, allowing the driver to enjoy a higher driving experience.

RC Maker has added a sixth variant to its Ultra Lite Horizontal Rear Post Body Mounts line-up that is intended for the newly released MTC3 Touring Car from Mugen Seiki. After the popularity of their Pro Horizontal Rear Post Body Mounts, the Australian company further reduce the weight with the Ultra Lite range while still maintaining sufficient strength with options for most popular brands of car include now the latest Mugen. With the Ultra Lite mounts they managed to reduce the weight of the entire set by a massive 50%. The new Ultra Lite version comes in at only 1.7g per assembly. These extensions are compatible with ZooRacing, Xtreme, Bittydesign and Protoform Bodies.

1:12 specialists Team Bomber from Japan has released this new HQ lightweight clamp hub for its AK12 series chassis. Designed to lighten the drive system and improve the rotation accuracy directly linked to driving performance, they are made from high-strength, high-quality 7075 aluminium material. The design uses waste-free materials and is approximately 30% lighter (about 3g → 2g) compared to standard products. Additionally, they use a counterweight shape that optimises rotational balance, making for a smooth high precision rotation. This makes the cars’s movement a whole lot sharper and reduces traction loss during cornering. This provides a solid advantage, especially for stock class users looking to harness limited power. Also, the bis in the clamp section, which contributes to the lighter weight, was changed from the traditional M2.5 to the M2 bis. For concerns about torque shortage due to small diameter, adopting a high-strength specialised steel plated small head cap bisque ensures reliable tightening torque, and you don’t have to worry about loosening.
