JConcepts wheel dish for Hazard wheel

The Hazard wheel by JConcepts has taken the Short Course class by storm. With victories all over the world and back-to-back ROAR National Championships, the Hazard has established itself as the go-to wheel for Short Course racing on the Team Associated SC10, SC10 4×4 and TLR 22 SCT and Losi SCT-E. With advancements and perspective changing within the Short Course Class and driver preferences focusing more exclusively on performance, JConcepts has added a much anticipated accessory to the line-up. The wheel dish, available in black, white and yellow, can add a personal or more focused driven setup tweak to the popular Hazard wheel. The wheel dish is injection molded plastic and features built-in geometry to engage into the Hazard wheel and provide that dish wheel style with very minimal effort. The wheel dish is cleverly designed to secure to the wheel and with just the addition of the wheel nut, clamps right into place.

Picco Torque .21 EdoMod X-Type on-road engine

Picco Torque .21 EdoMod X-Type on-road engine

The new Torque .21 EdoMod X-Type on-road racing engine from Picco comes with a new long stroke design to further improve low and mid range acceleration. The components have been ‘hand modified’ by Edoardo Picco using his extensive experience and thousand of hours of testing resulting in improved reliability and performance while maintaining good fuel efficiency. A balanced 14mm ‘turbo’ silicone-filled crankshaft helps improve fuel flow and reduce weight, while a hand modified rear back plate improves fuel flow. Furthermore a lightened CNC machined piston has been made from high percentage silicone alloy billet, a large size finned turbo combustion chamber insert gives better heat dissipation, the engine sports a larger yet ultra light weight cooling head, Swiss quality 14mm main bearing (ceramic ball bearing are available as optional) front and rear and to complete the package, a composite slide carburetor with 8.0mm and 9.0mm venturi inserts.

Hart & Trinder win Essex Winter Series Rd5

The penultimate round of the Essex Winter Series took place this weekend. With the event being held just one week before the BRCA Winter National, the event was fully booked many months beforehand, with some EWS-regular drivers missing out on getting their entries secured in time. The Superstock class once again saw a number of top UK National drivers competing, along with three drivers making the journey from Ireland to race. The high level of competition meant five close rounds of qualifying, highlighting the fact that the EWS is now considered the UK’s premier indoor on-road championship.

Bittydesign Force body for Mugen MBX7

Bittydesign Force body for Mugen MBX7

Bittydesign have released their new Force body for the Mugen MBX7. The body has been developed and tested with the collaboration of 2012 IFMAR World Champion Robert Batlle. Having made its debut 2 weeks ago in France at the GP Montpellier, the feedback they have received back from the Spanish driver has been very positive. Designed to obtain the best balance, the result is a cab forward body style in addition to a reverse side scoop on the back which generates high downforce giving the car a nimble feeling while at the same time more stability. As usual the body is produced using 1mm original Lexan polycarbonate and it comes complete with protection film, decal sheet and windows mask. BD also produce rear mud guards for the same car to complete the factory look.
