JConcepts Ellipse 4.0” truggy tyre

Following the release of the gold compound Ellipse 1/8th buggy tyre, JConcepts also roll out a 4.0” truggy variant. The Ellipse, named after the centre bar built into the tread, is a compliment to successful tyres such as the Dirt Webs and Bar Codes. The web-style tyre was built to compete on smooth high-grip indoor and outdoor surfaces which require a finely detailed connected bar pattern. The centre section of the tyre is a home run utilising a diamond home plate footprint to provide massive forward bite and increased longevity. The web of extensions are unique and have a directional touch giving the racer the ultimate tune-ability. The Ellipse has already shown success in the hands of Ryan Maifield taking 1st place in the 1/8th truck class at the 2018 ROAR 1/8th E-Nationals. The compound of choice for most indoor events, the exclusive gold compound, has shown to produce consistent results for racers week after week. Included in each package, the Dirt-Tech closed cell inserts known for their durable nature and gray colour complete the race tuned package.

Losi Tenacity 4WD brushed short course RTR

Coming from Losi are their new Tenacity 4WD brushed short course RTR trucks with Fox Racing Shocks or Method Wheels graphics. Taking several design cues from Team Losi Racing, this SCT is built on the original TEN platform. It utilises a full metric hardware package and was design to be tough and tunable thanks to its race-engineered composite chassis. The bottom loading battery makes it easy for quick battery changes and the entire waterproof power system uses Dynamite 60A ESC and a 12T brushed motor for speeds of 40km/h right out of the box. Drivers stay in control with a Spektrum STX2 radio with a Spektrum receiver and scale to size Maxxis Razr MT tyres. Finally, the truck features an updated body, coming with either Method Wheels or Fox Racing Shocks graphics.

Xray XB8 2019 1/8th nitro buggy kit

Xray have officially introduced the 2019 variant of their European and ROAR National Championship winning XB8 1/8th nitro buggy platform. The biggest new feature is the 2-in-1 front suspension concept with the kit including both a C-hub and a pivot ball design suspension, allowing to adapt the buggy to a variety of driving styles and track conditions. The C-hub layout will excel on tight and smooth tracks whereas the pivot ball suspension can be an advantage on open and rough track. Part of the suspension package are also redesigned A-arms that are made for a harder material for improved response and stability while also ensuring smoother operation in dusty track conditions. Also new for the 2019 variant is a redesigned chassis that accepts both soft and hard compound radio trays without modification, helping to adjust chassis flex for different ambient temperatures. All-new rear uprights with larger outside ball-bearings make for increased reliability and life-span while featuring an extra hole for wider roll-centre adjustment possibilities. Other features include new cell shock membranes with reduced air gap for improved grip, matching upper shock caps with four venting holes as well as longer front and rear shock shafts as well as softer front and rear anti-roll bars for increased traction.
