Coming for RC-Cox’s Xray T4 Mid conversion kit is an aluminium motor mount plate. The cross-shaped alloy part connects the centre bulkheads, providing more cornering speed and chassis flex settings. The part is machined from high-quality aluminium and it comes orange anodised to match the remainder of the car’s alloy parts.
Following a couple of teasers on social media, Yeah Racing have finally fully unveiled their race-orientated competition chassis conversion set for the Tamiya M07 M-chassis kit. The chassis and drivetrain conversion does away with many of the standard plastic parts in favour of high-quality carbon fibre and aluminium items that not only look a lot cooler, the conversion also adds precision, adjustability and performance. It allows to use 210mm, 225mm or 239mm wheelbase settings, adds suspension adjustability and it includes a fluid-filled gear differential that improves traction while allowing to adjust diff action through different oil thickness. Two different front body mounts enable the use to utilise the standard M07 body mounting position or bumper-mounted body posts for greater body choices. Included in the set come upper and lower carbon fibre chassis parts, carbon fibre shock towers, as well as alloy bulkheads, steering assembly, suspension mounts and also ball races, battery mounts and even a set of balance weights.
Coming soon from Power HD are their new Storm S-Series HV servos for professional racing applications. All servos feature all-aluminium housings in a 2-tone anodising that is available with silver, red or gold-colour details while the geartrains are made up using high-quality aluminium and steel gears. Japanese Noble potentiometers ensure highest possible precision and an updated PCB supports SSR and SUR modes. The line will include the S15 low-profile and S25 and S35 standard size servos all of which are usable with 6V to 8.4V input. Full details will become available in time of the release.

1up Racing have introduced their new precision aluminium shims. They are cut on a CNC lathe to strict tolerances before receiving their glossy black anodised finish. They can be used with M3 screws or ball studs, or with any 3mm pins to ensure accurate settings every time. The shims come in 12-piece bags and are available in 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2 and 3mm thicknesses.
Kyosho have announced the release of new option parts for their Fazer series of on-road and off-road kits. First up is an aluminium servo saver kit that replaces the standard plastic parts for a more sturdy and precise construction. This results in a more accurate steering feeling and improved durability. The servo saver is usable for all Fazer Mk2 and FZ02 kits.
GForce have introduced their new Drift Special ACG super shorty LiPo battery pack specially designed for drift cars. The battery measures only 69×46.5×24.5mm, making it about 30mm shorter than a standard shorty battery, allowing to shift the pack forth and back in a wider range, helping to adjust the car’s weight bias more easily. The hardcase battery weighs in at 142g and it utilises 4mm connector tubes.
Coming from Rebellion-RC and made for the Serpent SF3 and SF4 formula cars is the Exotek swingarm adapter. The carbon fibre plate was designed for the use with the Exotek Team Associated F6 upper swingarm set #1823 and it allows to use these popular parts on Serpent’s SF3 and SF4 series formula kit. The adapter plate is machined from high-quality carbon fibre and it is available in twelve different weave colours.
