Team Durango introduce the new DEX408v2 1/8th electric buggy kit. Building on the winning heritage of the DEX408 the v2 version incorporates some subtle refinements in order to take 1/8th buggy racing to the next level. The kit is based on a new hard-anodised 3mm aluminium chassis with composite side pods and it features a redesigned rear end that is based around a new bulkhead assembly and a new geometry shock tower. The rear shock absorbers are now located behind the shock stay for an improved weight distribution and smoother and more efficient shock action. Part of the updated package are also new rear suspension arms for improved bump handling and also new ultra low rear roll-centre setting to complement the redesigned geometry. The new arms allow for two outer hinge pin positions helping to adjust rear traction characteristics to a variety of surfaces.

The Axial AX10 Deadbolt 1/10 Electric 4WD RTR packs all of the speed and versatile crawling capabilities as its original AX10 counterpart and adds a custom body with a moulded driver figure, three interchangeable heads and officially licensed Maxxis 2.2 Trepador tyres giving the vehicle a more aggressive and scale look. Power is provided by a 20T brushed motor and AE-2 ESC that is mounted vertically to help shield it from dust and debris. The AX-3 2.4GHz radio system and AS-3 metal gear servo gives you secure and precise control.

After an extensive research and development process, Smokem Racing have released their new steel drive cups for the TRF417. Made from a special hardened alloy steel, these are some of the toughest wearing drive cups available on the market today, verified by numerous test drivers over a range of racing conditions. They are also hard coated to further increase durability. The spool cups are ready for use in the TRF417 line of electric tourers without blades, while the gear diff cups suit the TRF417 Gear Diff Unit II with the white TRF417V5 blades.

Gravity RC introduce an outer hinge pin set for the Xray T4 line of cars. They are designed to reduce the unsprung weight of the suspension at its greatest point of instance and not only fit the T4 but also the T3 and T2. The total weight of all four pins is 2.5g and this makes for an unsprung weight saving of over 2 grams in total.

Yeah Racing have two new bearing sets for the Yokomo DPM competition drift chassis available. Coming as standard metal-shielded and optional teflon seal variant the 22-piece set includes lightly pre-oiled bearings to significantly reduce the friction in the drive train. Both sets also include a 15ml bottle of high quality bearing oil for convenient maintenance and best possible performance over a long period of time.
