Coming from Arrowmax and made for most 1/10th electric and nitro touring cars is a set of aluminium setup wheels. Machined from high-quality alloy and coming black anodised and with golden edge details the wheels help to precisely set suspension parameters such as toe and camber. The wheels come in sets of four and they are available now.

Yeah Racing have released new height adjustable aluminium servo mounts for 1/10th scale vehicles. Machined from aluminium and coming anodised in a range of colours including orange, blue and black the mounts are perfect replacements for plastic servo mount brackets found on some older spec kits. Using the alloy parts will make for a more solid servo installation, resulting in a more crisp steering reaction especially when using high-power servos. Included with the mounts comes suitable mounting hardware.
The AME shock rebuild station is a clever tool to arrange AME shock absorbers while building, maintenance and setup. The compact shock stand is made of machined, black anodised aluminium and high-quality carbon fibre and it takes up to four touring car shock absorbers – for example while filling them with shock fluid or to let any air bubbles disappear when not using a vacuum pump. The lower alloy parts tray can be used to store small parts during building but it can also be used to drain shock oil into it during shock rebuilding. The tool is easy to disassemble using a single screw and the compact dimensions make storing the rebuild station a no-brainer. While being designed for AME’s own shocks the tool also works with many other 1/10th scale dampers.
Kyosho have officially introduced the new PureTen GP V-One R4s II 1/10th nitro on-road car kit. Having been at the forefront of the racing scene for rubber-tyred racing models, the V-One R4s has taken another evolutionary step with the R4s II. In addition to the incorporation of key components from the highest specification version of the V-One R4 Evo, the R4s received shorter oil-filled shocks as used in the electric classes. Both lowers the centre of gravity and increases manoeuvrability while in addition, the shape of the radio plate combines with main chassis material and weight reduction grooves, based on the Evo chassis design, to effectively use chassis roll and mechanical grip to deliver improved overall performance.

Coming from Yeah Racing and made for the HPI Racing RS4 Sport 3 entry-level racing chassis is an adjustable aluminium tie-rod set. The set utilises six pre-assembled steering and camber links with suitable ball cups and ball studs to make it a drop-fit solution. The links are made of orange-anodised 7075 aluminium for a high strength and the left/right thread design ensures swift and easy suspension setting adjustments.

Xray have introduced a new brass motor mount plate for the T4’17 touring car. The part, machined from high-quality brass, adds about 5.6g of weight to the centre of the chassis which can be beneficial in several track conditions. The plate does not effect chassis flex and it replaces the standard aluminium part.

Coming soon from Serpent is the latest incarnation of the popular 411 platform, the 4.1. Intended to be a more conventional alternative to the somewhat complex Project 4X touring car, the 4.1 offers a class-standard design and features such as a centrally mounted 7075-T6 aluminium motor mount, an upgraded rear differential with new internal gears for smoother operation as well as big bore shock absorbers with pre-oiled X-rings. Also part of the 4.1 package are hard compound suspension parts, a 2mm carbon fibre main chassis and flex-type top deck, ball-raced anti-roll bars as well as a centrally mounted floating servo mount along low friction belts and pulleys. The kit will hit stores about mid-June.
