Coming from OfficinaRC and made for the Awesomatix A800 touring cars are aluminium bearing housings as a replacement for the standard composite parts. The parts are made in Italy using high-quality Ergal 7075 material with their design ensuring a more free spinning drivetrain due to not pinching the bearing. In addition the hubs are very durable, offering lower wear and great looks.
Creation Model have introduced their new aluminium and titanium screw packs. The alloy button head screws are available as M3x6mm and M3x8mm variants all of which are machined of high-quality 7075 material for exceptional rigidity. The red anodised fasteners come as 20-piece packs. Also new is a 30-piece pack of M3x6mm flat head titanium screws. They feature precise 2mm hex heads for optimised tool tip fitment, allowing to tighten the screws firmly.

This week Team Bomber officially unveiled their all-new TB-AK12 1/12th scale pan car kit and now the Japanese brand also comes up with first optionals. First up are titanium-nitride-coated front suspension king pins whose surface coating reduces friction and wear for even smoother suspension action. Also coming is a titanium-nitride-coated centre shock shaft with the low-friction surface ensuring smoother suspension action. Also in the suspension department is a front suspension mounting plate that was designed to connect the left and right hand front bulkheads which results in a more responsive handling especially in high-bite track conditions. Next up is a short side link set that will improve handling on very tight tracks and last but not least there is a set of 2.5x8mm aluminium rear wheel screws that reduce rotational masses and overall weight with comes in handy especially when running in stock motor classes.
LCG Racing have released a first teaser for their forthcoming all-new SFX premium conversion kits for the Yokomo BD10 and Xray T4’20 mid-motor touring car kits. No official details are available yet but we bring you more updates as they surface.

Following a couple of teaser images Team Bomber have fully unveiled their all-new TB-AK12 1/12th scale pan car kit. The vehicle is based on a 2.0mm 7075 aluminium chassis plate for a low centre of gravity and optimised handling in high-bite track conditions which is further supported by the use of carbon fibre front lower arms and rigid Xenon-made upper composite arms. The bearings are high-quality X9 ball races supplied by Axon and the included high-quality titanium steering and camber turnbuckles offer both a low weight and high rigidity. The floating-type servo mount ensures tweak-free servo mounting and the centre big bore shock absorber provides sufficient traction. Other features include specially coated aluminium front pivot balls, a carbon fibre solid rear axle assembly and a Xenon 76T spur gear.
Coming from T-Works and made for the Roche Rapide F1 Evo2 formula kit are several new option parts. The range includes a 3-piece titanium turnbuckle set, an 11-piece precision ball bearing kit, as well as a total of five screw sets including red all-aluminium, mixed aluminium and titanium, all-titanium as well as gold-colour steel screw sets. The alloy and titanium screw sets include T-Works’ signature UFO head screws with one of the golden screw kits also being available with UFO head fasteners.
ARC have announced the release of their new SRS Super Response Servo specially designed for the use with the ARC R12 touring car. Developed and produced in collaboration with Savöx, the steering servo supports the Super High Response protocol that is available from high-end transmitters and it provides quicker response and a wider working angle on the R12 chassis. The ARC SRS utilises a short 5cm all-black servo lead for neat and clean wiring and the unique all-aluminium case incorporates a servo mount that allows racers to do away with the standard servo mount, ensuring a super low-profile design and a lower overall centre of gravity, all while allowing to scrub 9g of weight and the attachment of the servo 8mm closer to the centreline of the chassis. As for the specifications, the brushless motor servo pulls up to 9kg-cm of torque at a speed of down to 0.07 seconds.
Coming from Creation Model and made for the Infinity IF-14-2 touring car is a new graphite front body post support. The bumper brace improves the rigidity of the bumper and body post assembly, increasing stability of the front section at high speeds. Made from lightweight and highly rigid carbon fibre, the brace’s surface is also specially embossed to achieve a stylish loog which includes the Infinity logo.
