Vigor have introduced a new 1-piece front suspension aluminium mount for the Yokomo BD8 touring car. The FR item is machined from high-quality 7075 aluminium and it it features four screw mounting positions that allow to use all four or only the inner or outer holes in order to fine-tune the chassis’ flex characteristics.
Mugen have introduced a range of new option parts for the MTC1 electric touring car. First up are new HD gear diff internals that are moulded using a different material that is more durable, resulting in longer intervals between rebuilds and cleaner staying diff fluid, making the whole assembly also more consistent. Also new is a 2-piece set of steering collars that were designed to connect the A2301 steering shaft and A2307 servo plate with the result of an improved steering response in high grip conditions while also improving overall increased stability. Using this setup in lower traction conditions may however decrease the overall steering emphasis. Also new are S5 soft differential and P3 soft shock absorber O-rings that are made to improve the smoothness and response behaviour of the respective components by reducing the friction between the O-rings and the metal components. The O-rings are available separately in 10-piece packs.
Arrowmax have a new addition to their range of black-golden tools available in the form of a Centax clutch spring adjustment tool.

The new tool sports the company’s signature honeycomb design with black-golden anodising finishing.

Protoform have introduced their all-new Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 body shell for 190mm touring car chassis. Considered the baddest “Vette” of them all, boasting 755 horsepower and a top speed of 212 mph, the ZR1 is an American supercar without peer. Perfectly suited for USGT Class racing, the officially-licensed Corvette body features all the exceptional details of its full-scale counterpart including aggressive front splitter, uniquely-shaped high rear wing, and oversized front grilles. The extensive decal sheet allows to deck out the body with Corvette-branded windshield headers, “Jake” skull hood logo and USA flags. New lighter-weight material lowers the centre of gravity of your USGT car, improving responsiveness. The body includes an add-on rear wing with the USGT-sanctioned 10mm trim height, nylon wing struts, and mounting hardware.
Protoform’s popular T-HD 1/10th scale oval body shell is now also available in a Pro-Lite variant for more weight savings and more speed. The body is made to fit all the latest oval pan-car chassis designs and with multiple moulded in trim lines, it’s able to be mounted in such a way as to meet TOUR body height specifications for capped tyre racing, foam tyre racing as well as the ultra-slammed Saturday night “run-what-ya-brung: style of racing. The T-HD is a high downforce design specifically shaped for flat tracks. This design also incorporates signature PROTOform body science and aero-tweaks, allowing some room for fore and aft adjustment to find the perfect handling balance. The left side features a bumped-out area for added clearance, and the body comes with an add-on spoiler extension with mounting hardware, decal sheet, paint-then-peel overspray film and window masks.

Destiny have introduced an aluminium steering rack support for the RX-10SR touring car.

The support is machined from high-quality aluminium and it comes grey anodised for wear and looks.
