Lit R/C Products have introduced their new lightweight C and D suspension blocks for the TLR 8ight-X buggy. The suspension blocks are machined out of 7075-T6 aircraft grade aluminium and are anodised black for surface protection and looks. The blocks have been designed to use square pill inserts, this allows the user to achieve multiple pill orientations not possible on the current 8ight-X platforms. The square pills inserts are machined out of Delrin for direct fitment in the blocks and in addition to allowing for multiple pill orientations is the capability to raise or lower the rear end roll centre or to widen the hinge pins with the included square pill inserts. The set includes the C and D blocks as well as 20 inserts.

Available now from Marc Rheinard’s MR33 brand is the belt booster fluid that was developed to reduce overall drivetrain friction. The chemical will be applied directly to the belts and pulleys where it will reduce the natural drivetrain friction without compromising durability of the belts or pulleys, making it ideal for both stock and modified motor racing alike. The fluid comes in 100ml foam tip bottles.

Coming from RC Maker and made for the Awesomatix A800MMX touring car are two adjustable floating electronics plate sets. They were designed to placing the weight down low, in the best position, whilst having absolutely no impact on the flex of the car. With both brass and carbon options, as well as an even heavier brass plate option, drivers have all the tuning options they could ever want to achieve the desired balance. The AFEP system can also be shimmed out from the motor-mount to further increase the tuning adjustability. The standard brass set will weigh in at 23g with the optional 25g plate making it 35g in total. As for the carbon fibre variant, it will weigh in at 12g. Both also allow the easy removal of the electronics plate from the car for maintenance and cleaning purposes.
