Exotek have announced the release of new titanium rear CVA axles for the TLR 22 buggies as well as carbon fibre body mount plates for the TLR 22, Kyosho RB7, Team Associated B6 and Xray XB2 buggies. Starting with the titanium rear axles, the parts are of super light weight and usable with all 1.0 to 5.0 buggies, however they do not fit the 5.0 Elite VHA axles and hubs. The axle shafts reduce the weight and rotating mass of the driveline for quicker acceleration and they are recommended for drag racing only.
New from Reedy are steel under-battery weight sets for both shorty and stick configurations. These weights are the ideal solution for meeting minimum weight requirements, equalising left/right weight distribution, and/or lower the vehicle’s centre of gravity for improved handling. Each set is precision cut from steel with the weight value laser etched onto each piece along with the world-famous Reedy logo. Each set contains three weight options, which can be used individually or combined to achieve the desired result.

Coming from Torpine are new optional parts for the ARC R12 and R11F touring cars. Starting with the R12, Torpine have released a brass lower screw kit that replaces all lower chassis screws with heavy brass fasteners which will greatly lower the overall centre of gravity while adding a bit of overall weight at the same time. The result is a more planted ride especially in high-bite track conditions.
