Reflex Racing have introduced new optionals for the Gizmo Genesis and GZ2 touring cars. First up is a long arm conversion kit that has been designed for the use in combination with the V2 uprights. Contrary to typical longer arms, these arms actually make the suspension act softer as the distance between lower shock mounts and outer arm pivot has been increased. The pivot of the uprights has been moved out further which in the front end allows for less wheel scrub as well as more wheel support. The result is a more precise car, with more stability and higher corner speeds. The conversion works with the Genesis and GZ2 kits, however the latter requires the use of angled ball ends for rear toe link.
Coming from PSM and made for the popular Tamiya TT-02S entry-level 4WD touring car are new low-profile SSBB GT shock towers. Available separately for the front and rear of the car, the shock stays are cut from high-quality 3.0mm carbon fibre and they are of an updated geometry to accept Tamiya’s SSBB shock absorbers and the latest generation of 1/10th GT body shells. The shock stays are a direct fit, they offer several shock and camber link mounting positions and include an aluminium hardware kit for mounting.

Coming soon from Arrowmax’s new Arrowspace series of magnesium chassis is a dedicated variant for the Xray T4. Machined from high-quality magnesium material and coming with a white ceramic coating for wear, the chassis will be about 40 percent lighter than a standard aluminium chassis while offering different flex characteristics. Full information will become available in time for the release.

Arrowmax have introduced their new Arrowspace Magnesium product line that will offer magnesium option parts for a range of kits. First up will be a ceramic-coated magnesium main chassis plate for the Serpent S750 1/10th 200mm nitro touring car. The material used will reduce weight by nearly 40 percent compared to regular aluminium whole also reducing “noise”. The special ceramic coating will ensure long lasting performance. More information will become available in time for the release.

Coming from Xpress are new carbon fibre option parts for the XQ1 and XM1 series of cars. First up is a graphite body post stiffener set for the XQ1 series of 1/10th touring cars. The carbon fibre plates will reduce body movement in corners for increased stability while the C-shape of the rear plate also reinforces the body’s trunk area, resulting in improved body support and thus downforce at high speeds. The set includes one front and one rear body post support and it is also available for the XM1 series of 4WD M-class cars. Also new is an optional graphite steering knuckle plate set for the XM1 and XM1S cars. The parts will make for a stiffer steering structure which in turn gives a sharper steering response and feeling. Owners will need to install a 2mm bumpsteer shim to get the same amount of bumpsteer as with the stock steering plate. The plates also feature an extra Ackermann mounting position that will increase the aggressiveness of the steering response, which is perfect for asphalt tracks.
Yeah Racing have introduced front and rear carbon fibre body post stiffeners for the Tamiya TRF419, TA07 and TB04 cars. The CNC-machined carbon fibre plates will reinforce the body post areas, making for improved rigidity and thus better aerodynamic efficiency and less stress on the body posts. The sets are available separately for the front and the rear and they include mounting hardware.
