Muchmore have introduced their new multifunctional shock maintenance tool. The pliers grip different diameter 1/8th and 1/10th scale shock shafts and shock bodies for easier ball cup attachment and removal as well as easier upper and lower cap assembly. Also incorporated into the design is a pin that allows for easier pivot ball insertion and removal while machined 4mm and 5mm holes hold euro-style connectors during soldering. The tool is made of high-quality aluminium and it comes black anodised for wear and looks.

Coming from Yeah Racing and made for the Traxxas 4-Tec 2.0 are several new aluminium optionals. First up is an aluminium motor mount that is a direct upgrade for the standard plastic item. The mount offers improved rigidity and better heat dissipation for longer gear and motor life. The part is machined from high-quality aluminium and it comes blue anodised and with laser-etched markings.

Next up are aluminium damper stays for the front and rear of the car. They increase overall durability and also the suspension efficiency due to being a lot stiffer than the original parts. The shock towers are available separately for the front and rear and in blue or black colour. Also new are front steering knuckles, again made to increase overall rigidity compared to the standard moulded plastic parts. Like the shock towers the front steering knuckles are available in blue or black colour. Last but not least comes a set of aluminium brake rotors that add visual impact and scale looks. They come in sets of four and with blue or black details.

Made for the Tamiya TRF419 series of touring cars is the new suspension upgrade set that allows for a wider range of geometry settings. The lower arm, C-hub, steering knuckle and rear hub set was introduced with the all-new TRF420 but it is also usable with all previous TRF419 kits, the TA07 Pro, TB-Evo.7 and the TB-05 Pro chassis. Included are redesigned lower arms, 4 degree caster C-hubs, 2-piece steering knuckles as well as reinforced rear hubs all of which offer greater precision and durability thanks to a sturdier design and the use of 3mm diameter outer suspension shafts. The lower arms are also of an updated design in the lower shock mounting area with eccentric bushings being used to adjust the damper position, enabling the owner to access additional setup options without having to change the lower arms. Includes in the set is also mounting hardware in the form of shafts, bushings, screws and ball studs.
