TWT from Thailand have introduced their new tweak control centre, an acrylic plate and carbon fibre rod that help to eliminate tweak from touring car chassis. The acrylic base plate measures 290x86x18mm and it acts as a sturdy base for the chassis to rest on, while the 15mm diameter carbon fibre rod helps to press down the chassis on its shock towers to get the chassis and topdeck aligned straight while tightening the top deck screws. The rod features milled out windows to make way for the main gears of both mid and rear motor touring cars while the base plate is of a two-sided design with trays for smaller parts on the opposite site. The tool set was developed in cooperation with 2020 IFMAR 1/10th 200mm Nitro Touring Car World Champion, Meen Vejrak and it is available in several colour variants now.

Coming soon from Rêve D are three new UP series aluminium spring retainers for RWD drift cars chassis. Available as 0, +2mm and +4mm variants, the different height of the spring cups allows to adjust the position of the spring in relation to the shock body which has an influence on the lateral grip available. The cups also allow to use springs of different lengths which further helps to fine-tune traction available. The cups come machined from high-quality aluminium, they sport a black surface finish, machined silver edge details and white laser-engraved markings.

Coming from RC Upgrade is a flat skid plate for the Axial SCX10 and SCX10 II trail trucks. The plate is the perfect addition to any SCX10, SCX10 II RTR, or custom builds as the part has been optimised to increase ground clearance compared to the stock skid plate as it is perfectly flat and does not protrude below the chassis rails like the stock Axial skid plate. The item is a direct fit and it includes four mounting screws.
