Mibosport have introduced their new Mibo brand face mask in grey colour. A currently mandatory accessory in most countries when going shopping, during travelling and most likely a needed item to allow the resuming of some sort of RC life, the mask is made of a special sport-proven material that allows for comfortable wearing even during summer temperatures. The face mask is double-layered with a pocket for inserting a fabric or nano filter. The inside of the face mask is made of 100 percent cotton material, while the outside features a grey colour print, offering less visual impact compared to the already released yellow and pink mask. The washable and ironable mask is made in the Czech Republic and available from now on.

Xpress have introduced their new Flex Elimination set and upper deck for the XQ10 touring car. The set was designed to be used with the Flex Elimination upper deck and it will allow to limit longitudinal chassis flex whilst retaining lateral chassis flex which can be helpful in specific track conditions. Using the included red anodised aluminium collar instead of the ball bearings will limit chassis flex in all directions if desired. To make use of the set, Xpress’ 2.0mm Flex Elimination upper deck is needed. Both the set and upper deck are available separately.
