JConcepts CT4.2 4mm carbon fibre rear shock tower

Made for the Centro CT4.2 conversion kit is the JConcepts 4mm carbon fibre rear shock tower that has all the necessary adjustments including the standard outer (CT4.2) camber link positions and the newly added inboard camber link holes to accommodate a narrow pivot rear suspension. The shock tower has the JConcepts touch, including a strong design and genuine carbon fibre material. The strength is added where appropriate and to allow big bore shock and transmission clearance where necessary. The tower requires the use of the JConcepts #2320 rear bulkhead.

JConcepts TLR 22 titanium front axle

Coming from JConcepts and made for the TLR 22 buggy is the titanium front axle kit. A critical point of the conversion revolves around the front axle and surrounding geometry, with JConcepts having conveniently built the front axle and hex into a single piece allowing the use of a traditional 4mm lock-nut instead of the stock screw type design. A low-profile, aluminium 4mm locknut has been included which features an inner serrated surface which grips the wheel when tightened for locking security. The titanium material lowers the weight and increases the bling factor with the axle being easily installed on the 22 buggy line of vehicles including the TLR 22 2.0.

Moulded in exclusive and durable polycarbonate, the wing features a beefy feel but light-weight enough to be considered a race wing. It comes pre-trimmed with clean, smooth edges and it is ready to become decorated or scuffed to your liking. The wing is available specifically drilled for the B5 or B5M.

JConcepts Bullet 60mm 1/10th buggy wheels

JConcepts introduce their new Bullet 60mm off-road wheels for 1/10th scale buggies. The wheels are sized at the industry interchangeable 60mm and offer a slight concave dish shaped design on the AE wheels and slightly convex shape on the TLR line of wheels to stand apart giving each line their unique appearance. The wheels incorporate an outer glue catch that resists excess glue from running down the wheel face during the gluing process. Wheel sets are available for all popular Team Associated, TLR, Kyosho, Yokomo, Serpent and Xray 2WD and 4WD vehicles and they require tires and inserts designed for 60mm bead mounting diameter and are not completely interchangeable with their 2.2” counterparts. Although these popular large wheel sets are not a replacement for 2.2” wheels nor ROAR legal at this time, they remain a popular tuning aid to racers always pushing for excellence.

JConcepts RC10B5 & B5M Honeycomb motor plates

JConcepts have released these replacement motor plates for the popular RC10B5 and RC10B5M vehicles. Looking at the typical construction of the second operation processes on standard motor plates, it easy to see why bending is sometimes an issue. The design team at JC have incorporated a honeycomb milling affect with placement more suited to surrounding geometry making the plate lightweight and very rigid in multiple directions. The honeycomb features add a 3D look especially as they remain natural aluminium while the rest is available black or blue in color. Slight chamfering on the 3mm thickness material allows the rather beefy plate to look quite skinny.

JConcepts B5 & B5M alu front suspension brace

New for the Associated B5 & B5M from JConcepts comes this aluminium front suspension brace. The machined and anodized aluminium brace is spot on in terms of geometry, fit, finish and position. The edging has been slightly chamfered to remove sharp corners and adds extra luster to an already polished looking piece while the tightened design eliminates extra bulk and weight with deep cutouts. Finally the perimeter ledge has a hefty chamfer which provides slightly more front clearance during hard landings and corning.
