| Bittydesign Vision MBX8 pre-cut buggy body shell Posted: 13 Sep 2019 09:10 AM PDT Bittydesign have introduced their all-new Vision 1/8th nitro buggy body shell for the Mugen MBX8. Designed in collaboration with Nitro Buggy World Champion, Robert Batlle the body will offer an easier to drive and more balanced feeling compared to the Mugen kit body thanks to a new cabin, side pod and rear side flaps design that optimises the aerodynamic characteristics. In addition a flap behind the engine area guides the air towards the rear wing for a smoother and more directed airflow around the shock tower and lower wing mount. The body comes moulded from high-quality 1mm Lexan polycarbonate and it is laser pre-cut to fit all MBX8 and older MBX7 models. Included comes a pre-cut decal sheet as well as window masks.

| Tekno NB48 2.0 1/8th nitro buggy kit Posted: 13 Sep 2019 05:04 AM PDT Following a couple of first teasers Tekno RC have fully unveiled their new NB48 2.0 1/8th scale nitro buggy kit. The buggy builds on a newly designed chassis that is 1mm thinner than the previous main plate, however due to its wider design its reduces twitchiness and improves handling and flex characteristics on rough tracks. The buggy also does not sport a traditional radio tray but separate radio and battery boxes as well as independent servo mounts for a more equal left/right chassis flex. Both the battery and receiver box are of the same dimensions, allowing to swap battery and receiver for weight bias changes. The 2.0 also features a new long-arm narrow pivot suspension geometry to make the buggy easier to drive, provide superior bump handling, superior jump landing, and allow the vehicle to be pushed much harder than before without getting in trouble. To achieve the long arm design, the front arms are twisted the end for the needed clearance to lower the axle. The same trick allowed for a longer arm and enough room to place the spindle/kingpin axis on the same plane as the outer hinge axis, producing a zero offset, zero scrub steering system that is as durable as an outset C-hub design. On the track, this translates to smoother cornering and direction changes with exceptional mid-corner bump handling. The rear suspension geometry has also seen significant changed along with a few new ideas and adjustments such as the active toe system that uses inserts on the outside of the arms that allow to add active toe in for more traction out of the corners on tight or loose tracks. Or drivers can choose active toe out for enhanced corner speed or bump handling on higher speed, higher traction layouts. Also new with the 2.0 variant are significantly larger differentials that offer 35 percent more oil volume which helps with consistency during long mains, but it also extends the time between rebuilds. In addition a slightly finer internal gear pitch ensures better meshing and thus smoother diffs and less heat build-up. To further reduce heat build-up and improve consistency, the kit will include a compact double-bearing supported centre differential. Metal on metal contact, even when properly greased or aligned, produces excessive heat. Tekno have mitigated this issue by using ball bearings in place of the traditional sleeves to fully support the centre outdrives and completely eliminate the metal to metal friction between the outdrives and the mating parts. Last but not least are updated front and rear bulkheads that were required due to the larger differentials. The bulkheads allow for easier diff access, improved bearing support and ball-raced anti-rill bars. The buggy is available for backorder now and will hit stores mid-October.

| Spektrum DX5C 5-channel DSMR radio system Posted: 13 Sep 2019 03:39 AM PDT Horizon Hobby have introduced the new Spektrum DX5C 5-channel DSMR radio system that adds AVC and Smart Compatibility to any vehicle with the SR6100AT AVC receiver. The transmitter is the perfect savvy solution for bashers, boaters and scalers who want a staggering list of advanced features that includes the virtually unlimited possibilities 5-channel control offers. Built around frequency-agile, DSMR 2.4GHz technology, owners can use the DX5C in any type of surface application and it is also backwards compatible with DSM2 Spektrum receivers. When combined with Spektrum Firma Smart speed controllers and Spektrum Smart capable receivers, the DX5C receives telemetry data right to the transmitter through the Smart Throttle port on the receiver. Smart Throttle ESCs can send RPM, speed, ESC temp, volts and amp draw. Included with the transmitter comes the SR6100AT 6-channel AVC/Telemetry receiver but the radio is also available as a transmitter-only set.

| Exotek Rock/Baja Rey Pro steering set Posted: 12 Sep 2019 11:37 PM PDT Exotek have announced the release of their new heavy duty Pro steering set for the 1/10 Losi Rock and Baja Rey. It was designed with a beefier structure and engineered to have the most precision thanks to the robust 7075 alloy design that incorporates an additional four bearings to connect the steering rack, instead of bushings, which eliminates friction, wear and slop. The set also includes crush sleeves that go between the bearings which help prolong the bearings life and maintains precise fit and operation of the rack. Lastly, a bigger 3mm threaded steel connecting ball is included which is stronger than the smaller 4/40 stock connecting ball.
