JConcepts silver compound 1/10th buggy Dirt Webs

JConcepts silver compound 1/10th buggy Dirt Webs

Debuted at the 2014 Reedy Race of Champions, the JConcepts silver compound was the quick break-in compound used with success in the Open and Invitational classes. The new indoor compound labelled as “super soft indoor” is now available for the Dirt Webs tread and works alongside the gold, however, breaks in slightly quicker allowing drivers to get up to speed quickly and when practice is at a minimum. The silver is not a replacement for the popular gold compound but an option that can be used to dial in on a freshly groomed track or offer a quick break-in alternative.

JConcepts B5 series Ti knurl tip front axle

JConcepts B5 series Ti knurl tip front axle

New from JConcepts comes the knurl tip front axle for the Team Associated B5 line of buggies. Eliminating around 38 percent of weight compared to the kit’s steel axle thanks to the design and titanium material used, the JConcepts axle make for less unsprung weight and thus quicker steering response and improved on-track performance. The design also incorporates a knurled axle tip to give the mechanic a grippy place to rest a finger so the front tire doesn’t rotate easily during changes making the process quicker and with less frustration. The design also eliminates screws and other items which are hard to inspect for issues which limit performance and add additional weight.
