Still in its testing stages but getting good reviews from test drivers.

Eagle Racing has done it again. They have released a 51mm universal axle for the R31 front suspension chassis. These are 2.5mm longer than the stock size universals. The longer axle should help with the chatter some folks were getting at full lock with the original shafts.

Well RC926 has improved on there invention. They have made a wider diameter set of springs. Still with the same function of dividing the shock with different shock setting but now with a larger diameter. Their originals were 1.2mm, then 1.3mm was made. The new ones are 1.4mm.
The different thickness of springs can be purchased separately or as a set. They are available in 5 different spring rates:
