Vigor RC have introduced two new carbon fibre option parts for the Yokomo BD8 in the form of a flex chassis and a front bumper brace. Starting with the chassis, the part is machined from high-quality 2.5mm material and special cut-outs make for increased flex which results in higher corner speeds. The chassis weighs in at 66g, about the same as the standard 2.25mm chassis. The second new part is a carbon fibre front bumper brace that was designed to replace the standard composite plastic item with a more rigid and also cooler looking item. The brace includes two carbon fibre bushings.

The set includes two pipe clamps, one for below and one for above the pipe.

T-Works have introduced two sets of shock cap spacers for the Yokomo BD8/7 and Xray T4 series of touring cars. Available in a 0.3mm or a 0.5mm variant, the spacers were designed to reduce the shock’s rebound pressure by enlarging the distance between the shock body and the upper cap. The spacers come in sets of four and they are a direct fit to both the Yokomo and Xray shock absorbers.
Following the introduction of the 4mm LCG Euro connectors, Muchmore also have a 5mm variant available. With a total length of 15mm the plugs are usable with standard height 25.7mm and also LCG 23mm LiPo battery packs and their low height head ensures neat wiring and unnecessary height build-up for a professional and clean looking wiring job. The connectors are gold-plated for wear and low resistance and they come in sets of two.

German AME distributors Ruddog have introduced the new T-Shox V2 1/10th touring car shock absorbers. Completely redesigned AME left no stone untouched inside and out but the design of the shock absorbers remained the same with a through-type shock rod making volume compensators unnecessary. Thanks to the redesign with a better guided shock rod the shocks offer a more consistent and smoother ride. The piston now moves perfectly through the shock body which results in optimised oil flow over the whole dampening movement. The design also results in zero rebound and thus perfectly matched left-right and front-rear shocks. The set included a total of four shocks and it is usable for a range of touring cars including the latest offerings from Yokomo and Xray.
