Leadfinger Racing have introduced a new heavy duty variant of their popular Strife body shell for the Tekno RC ET410 4WD truck. The new thicker version is moulded from the same material used for Leadfinger Racing’s 1/8th scale bodies, meaning more longevity for racing and bashing applications. As usual the body comes clear, including window masks and a decal sheet.

Following the introduction of new adjustable suspension mounts for the TRF419 touring car Tamiya have announced the release of more optionals for the TRF range of cars. First up are aluminium 3 degrees and 2 degrees rear uprights. The parts allow to apply wheel toe-in on the outer part of the suspension rather than using the arms and inner suspension mounts, which will free up the car in certain track conditions. In addition the strong alloy construction will improve overall rigidity. The uprights come as pairs and they fit the TRF418 and “reversible” suspension components.

Next up are the TRF-SSBB aluminium upper damper caps for the use with the already announced #1871 plastics and the new larger diameter 5.8mm short pillow suspension balls. Combining the parts will enhance shock performance while also offering a wider setup range. The shock caps are machined from high-quality aluminium and they come blue anodised and in a set of four. Last but not least comes an 8-piece set of 5.8mm upper and lower shock mounting balls. The steel parts are precision machined for best possible fit in the #1871 plastics and they feature a low-friction surface treatment. An inner 2.5mm hex allows for quick and easy shock mounting.

RPM have announced the release of new front lower arms for the popular Losi Rock Rey vehicle. The Rock Rey is known to be a monster of a performer and the RPM front arms promise a much needed increase in strength. While RPM A-arms are stronger than stock, they’ve also been designed with added bellcrank clearance to protect that hard-to-get bellcrank from heavy, full compression suspension slams. Added protection means fewer trips to the pits and more time on the rocks. The new arms are also extremely light, weighing in at 11 grams per pair lighter than stock and less unsprung weight means faster acceleration and braking as well as better suspension performance. The arms are sold in pairs and replace stock Losi #LOS234011.

Coming from Xtreme Racing and made for the Xray T4 touring car is the carbon fibre flex battery hold down kit. The set replaces the standard battery mounting system and does away with the need to use tape to hold down the battery pack in favour of a quick release system that only lightly tabs the battery pack, resulting in quicker battery swaps and less influence in chassis tweak. The set includes two battery hold downs, two LiPo battery supports and 6 shooter thumb fasteners along all needed mounting hardware.
