OfficinaRC tungsten copper M3 screws

OfficinaRC’s new series of tungsten copper screws are designed for those looking to bring the weight distribution and centre of gravity of their car to the next level. These countersunk head screws come in three sizes, 3x5mm, 3x6mm and 3x8mm, and enable you to add a large amount of weight at any point in the car in the lowest possible point under the chassis. Sold in packs of 4, due to the nature of the material they require care not to damage the head when fastening them.

LCG Racing SFX motor mount carbon brace

LCG Racing offer this new carbon brace for their Yokomo BD10 and the Xray T4 2020 SFX conversion kits that helps to further stiffen the motor mount longitudinally. The carbon brace makes the motor mount more rigid and also doubles up as a battery stopper with increased area. Additionally by minimising flex the longitudinal stiffness helps with corner speed and give the car a more direct response. The lightweight brace is made of high quality carbon fibre, features the engraved SFX logo and comes in either the SFXY Yokomo or SFXX Xray version.

MiBorg Sakura D5S rear RCV driveshafts

Coming from MiBorg and made for the 3Racing Sakura D5S drift chassis are these new rear RCV driveshafts. Utilising the design of full-scale cars the driveshafts use steel balls instead of cross pins to drive the wheel axle, which results in less vibration even at high steering angles. This leads to a more predictable handling, higher corner speeds and less tyre wear. In addition the wheel axles allow the use of standard thickness bearings while lighter, pin-less wheel hex adapters reduce overall weight.

T-Works continue to release new parts for the Tamiya TC-01 with the new parts focussed on shedding weight where possible.

Next up is the new suspension balls, again from the same material, the weight saving is 4 grams (8 pieces) over the standard parts. Finally the 24 piece ball end set, again made from hard coated high quality aluminium, helps in reducing the weight from 27.5g to just 7.3g, which when you combine it with the other two new items gives you a total weight saving of nearly 30grams.

Rebellion RC MMX body distance system

Similar to the body distance system released yesterday by RebellionRC yesterday, this new version is specific to the Awesomatix MMX. Incorporated into new steering arms, its adjustable design makes it possible to fine-tune the mounting height of the body. Because the body no longer moves up and down with the chassis you can position the body lower than ever before, which in turn improves aerodynamics. For a perfect fit on the knuckle they have used special tools to provide the highest precision, playfree and still easy to disassemble without tons of force.
