JConcepts MBX7 Silencer body shell

New from JConcepts comes the Silencer body shell for the Mugen MBX7 buggy. Intended especially for high speed tracks such as the one found at the 2012 IFMAR World Championship in Buenos Aires, the body was designed from the ground up and features a narrowed, Finisher stance cockpit for better fuel tank access, a smoother high-speed transition and increased flow around the engine heat-sink. A deep recess around the heat-sink area with dual channeling out the rear provides air escape along with rear-end stability. The Silencer side-pods have a clipped rear-end, narrowing the rear by angling just in front of the rear tires. The extended runner features are placed on the rear-end of the body enhancing the force placed on the rear pods during high-speed acceleration. The main pods are heavily chamfered and a more heat-shrink design over the pipe, fuel tank and electrical/linkage make up the main pods. The body comes clear, including window masks and decal sheet.

Tekno RC SCT410 option parts

Tekno RC introduce new option parts for the SCT410 short course truck. Available are different spring sets, an aluminium centre driveshaft, lightened motor mount, as well as lightened diff couplers and differential outdrives.

Available are three different 65mm front and three 80mm rear springs. Next up is an aluminium centre driveshaft made from 7075 material and coming gun metal anodised.

Other new drivetrain parts are the lightened differential outdrives. They save 12g, are made from hardened steel for ultimate durability and are sold as pair.
