JConcepts Silent Rage, Kosmos, Frizzy, and X-Bite 1:10 Buggy Tyres

JConcepts is wrapping up the final full week of June with a big drop of new tyres for 1:10 Buggy releasing the Silent Rage, Kosmos, Frizzy, and X-Bite. The Silent Rage was originally designed for the 2023 IFMAR World Championships at Hobby Action Raceway in Arizona. During the build-up to the world championships, the team felt the open front tire could leave an option to create an advantage for its team drivers and the new tire was specifically designed to have 2 different sidewall heights and depending on conditions, the user could alter the direction for gains. As it happened, the indoor circuit did not mature as rapidly as thought and the new Silent Rage were never removed from hiding. This did not stop the development, JConcepts doubled down and created a rear tire in the same fashion. Throughout 2024-2026 the team has tested this concept at tracks across the country with great results on off-road and dirt oval track competition. The composition of the tyre body makes it ideal for high-bite surfaces. A racer can place the low-profile sidewall toward the inside or outside depending on conditions or stagger for dirt oval or banked conditions.

Takashima D-13 V2 Rear Body Support

Takashima D-13 has released the second generation of its Rear Body Support. Designed to prevent lightweight body shells from deforming at high speeds while reducing the risk of cracking around the rear wheel arch area, by helping the body shell maintain its intended aerodynamic shape, the support contributes to more consistent downforce, improved durability and stable on-track performance. The V2 Rear Body Support includes four different wire heights, allowing racers to fine-tune the fitment for various body shells and mounting positions. Designed with a focus on convenience, strength and durability, the system provides effective rear body support while minimising any influence on chassis flex characteristics, ensuring the car retains its intended handling balance and performance.
