Xray have introduced two additional sets of aluminium front suspension bushings for the X12’18 US Spec 1/12th scale pan car. Adding to the standard setting are 0.5mm and 1.0mm specifications that help to either narrow or widen the track width, depending of the orientation. The bushings are machined from high-quality aluminium, they come orange anodised, are marked for easy identification and they come in sets of two.
Coming from X-Grip is a new range of shock springs for 1/10th electric touring cars. The 20mm springs are usable with nearly all low-profile shock absorbers and they are offered in five different colour-coded hardnesses from red super soft to black super hard.

Fenix have introduced their Flexy Sexy aluminium chassis for the Team Magic E4RS4 and also an updated main plate for the Team Associated TC7.1. Starting with the Team Magic chassis, it is 85mm wide and weighs in at 82g. Excessive machining in the middle section makes for optimised flex characteristics of the fully symmetrical chassis, making it ideal for all medium to high-bite conditions. As for the updated TC7.1 chassis the main plate now offers ARS mounting positions directly on the chassis. An “ARS” engraving makes for easy identification of the updated item.

Coming from Target RC and made for the Yokomo BD8 touring car are +1mm zero degree C-hubs for RTC-equipped cars. The hubs are CNC-machined and replace the standard composite hubs with tougher and more precise parts to up the car’s performance especially on bumpy high-grip tracks. While being 1mm wider than stock, the C-hubs also allow to raise or lower the knuckle block in order to adjust the driveshaft angle.

1up Racing have introduced the Dynamic Toe Control conversion for the Team Associated TC7 and TC7.1 touring cars. This conversion utilises genuine Team Associated parts along with custom 1up Racing C-hubs and inner mounts machined from 7075-T6 aluminium for maximum durability and weight savings. During testing, it became clear that the standard caster block design allowed for too much flex which caused the car to become very unpredictable at times, especially on bumpy surfaces. Due to the unique design of the 1up Racing C-hub, the rear arms now retain far more material and keep their rigidity allowing the DTC system to work well on a wide range of surfaces and track conditions. The DTC conversion does not require any extra drilling or modifications to the existing parts, while also including all the necessary hardware for an easy bolt-on installation.
