Xenon have announced the release of their full line of VSS EX 64 pitch electric touring and pan car super gears. They are considered to be the world’s smallest moulded main gears and they are available in 68T to 87T specification. Due to their design the gears are usable for touring and pan cars alike and they come moulded from a tough yet silent white composite material.
Exotek have introduced two new aluminium option parts for the Team Associated RC10F6 formula car in the form of a HD steering crank and a HD front arm base. The heavy duty steering crank is a long style variant for smooth steering response that has three built-in settings to adjust the steering geometry. The crank is machined from 7075 alloy, polished and comes with machined bearing seats and in blue anodising. Also new is the heavy duty front arm mounting base for the Team Associated F6. The 1-piece design replaces the three thin front chassis posts, ensuring extra protection from tweaked suspension parts while also securing the chassis from impacts. The item comes machined from 7075 alloy and it features a polished and blue anodised finish.
Twister RC have introduced two new aluminium option parts for the Tamiya T3-01 Dancing Rider trike. Available now are a front axle shaft as well as a swing shaft with both parts being machined from lightweight yet strong 7075-T6 aluminium. The parts are finished with a hard-coated surface treatment for wear and lowered friction and they are usable on both the kit and RTR version of the Dancing Rider vehicle.
Bezerk RC has introduced an option chassis for the Roche P10 pan car. The chassis has 10mm added to the wheelbase to aid in high speed stability and the design supports a centrally mounted shorty battery. The pack has been lowered 2.5mm into the 3mm chassis to lower the centre of gravity to give a better change of direction while the 3mm chassis adds some stiffness over the whole chassis to give a precise feel on track. In addition the servo position has been moved over 1.5mm to better centre some servos. Like all Bezerk products the chassis can be customised to suit the driver’s needs.

Trinity have introduced their new ReVtech 4000mAh 55C LiHV battery pack for Modified buggy applications. The pack is housed in a 1S 1/12th standard 95x47x18.5mm LCG shorty hardcase but offers 7.6V of voltage and a capacity of 4000mAh. The pack is built from new Graphene technology cells that use higher grade and safer materials which results in longer battery life while a new assembly technology limits cell puffing. The pack utilises 5mm bullet-type connectors, it weighs in at a lightweight 156g and it is awaiting ROAR approval.

Vantomme Carbon Designs have introduced their new aluminium chassis for the CRC XTi WC and SpeedMerchand Rev8 and Rev8.5 1/12th scale pan cars. The chassis is available in a standard and floating link variant with the two being usable for the CRC car while the floating link main plate can also be used on the SpeedMerchant Rev8 and 8.5. The chassis are a couple of millimetres shorter than the original part and wider in the front compared to the stock CRC main plate, while offering three servo and three transverse battery positions. VCD also offers specifically designed rear lower pod plates both cars that are usable with either version of the chassis.
Team C Racing have introduced a carbon fibre servo washer set that helps to space servos away from their mount. The set includes two 1.0mm and 1.5mm washers that are inserted between the servo’s lashes and the mount in order to move the servo up and down or forth and aft, depending on what is needed to achieve either more clearance of a better steering link geometry. The washers fit most standard and low-profile servos and their respective mounts.

Coming from T-Works and made for Kyosho MP9 based kits such as the TKI4, TKI3, MP9E and GT3 is a set of aluminium servo saver shafts. The steering posts are machined from high-quality 7075-T6 aluminium and come hard-anodised for wear. Using the items over the standard steel posts will reduce overall weight and creates a slightly different weight distribution.
