JConcepts introduce their new line of Silent Speed spur gears for select Team Associated, TLR and Traxxas vehicles. The gears are precision machined making them uniquely concentric over standard or molded gears giving the user a consistent gear mesh allowing a more precise adjustment and more silence on the race track. The detailed machining provides a pattern vented area and secured slipper pad on both sides giving more consistent slipper performance. The gears are marked for size in 2 different ways so they are identifiable either assembled within a slipper assembly or as a stand-alone part and come in various sizes with 69 and 72 tooth spur gears now available specifically for 1/10th AE off-road vehicles and stock class racing.

The Thunder Power TP1527PS is a dual output AC to DC switching power supply that delivers up to 15V/300W or 27V/550W DC output from 100V to 230V input. It delivers enough current, up to 20A, to sufficiently run one large capacity battery charger or two smaller capacity battery chargers simultaneously. It also features a variety of safety features including low voltage input, over-current, over-temperature and short-circuit protections.

Hot Bodies release new option parts for the TCXX 1/10th electric touring car in the form of various suspension blocks and a gear diff outdrive set. The suspension mounts in the form of the F/R pivot block are available as 0 degree, 0.5 degree and 1.5 degree variant to alter the front sweep and rear toe of the suspension arms. Also available are two-piece pivot blocks R/F with 0.5 degree and 1.0 degree setting. The split design provides extra flex on lower grip surfaces by allowing the front and rear end of the chassis to twist easier than with single-piece designs. All parts fit the TCXX and the TCX kit. The gear diff outdrive set includes steel front outdrives required for running a gear diff upfront. The drive cups have a thinner slot than the rears to accommodate the 2mm drive pin without the use of a drive blade.

Serpent introduce the Cobra S811 Team Edition 1/8th nitro truggy kit. The truck includes many of the latest V2 and V3 option parts such as the  front V2 steering block and rear V2 upright and wheel axle set, the V3 front and rear gear coupler set as well as the V3 centre front driveshaft. The steering block and uprights are equipped with larger 8x16x5 and 15x21x4 bearing and come with new spring steel wheel axles. The V3 diff coupler and pinion system with two larger rubber-sealed bearings improves reliability while the new front and rear coupler and front driveshaft are included to complete the conversion. The kit is ready for shipment and should be available in stores from beginning of November.

A Main Hobbies announces the all-new ProTek R/C line of digital, high-voltage servos.

JConcepts are proud to introduce the Finnisher bodyshell for the Team Associated B44.2. The body is a drop fit solution for the new design B44.2 and features an increased windshield angle, forward cap placement and simplified side pods together with a stepped rear end design in order to give a better steering body with neutral at-speed handling and improved jump characteristics. The body comes clear, with window masks and including two 6.5″ Hi-Clearance rear wings.
