JConcepts Tribute wheel mock beadlock rings

JConcepts have introduced their new mock beadlock rings for the Tribute monster truck wheels. The injection moulded, 4-piece set includes details found on today’s monster trucks and can be easily adapted to existing JConcepts Tribute wheels at a low-cost. The simple part can be pressed on the outside, inner diameter shape of the wheel and left for visual purposes or light racing and track running. Racers who plan to perform heavy running, freestyle or bashing might want to opt for some flexible, adhesive goo for attachment and a more secure fit. The great part about the Tribute mock beadlocks, whether you press it in or use adhesive goo, the driver can always remove them, go for another colour combo or clean them separately from the tyre and wheel assembly. The rings are available in a variety of colours including blue, black, white, pink, green, orange, red, and silver.

Picco Monza & Blast .21 engines

Picco from Italy have introduced their new Monza .21 Team on-road and Blast .21 Team off-road engines. Starting with the on-road engine, 3.5cc power plant features a newly designed crankcase that improves internal gas flow and produces a higher performance over the whole RPM range. The 14mm crankshaft utilises a silicone insert and it is DLC-coated in order to prevent wear of the pin as well as oxidation. The shaft rests in a high-quality rear ceramic Swiss-made bearing. The 7-port cylinder and piston is made using special alloys to optimise lifespan and reliability of the unit. Paired with the long stroke design the Monza provides great bottom end power to suit demanding high grip on-road tracks. The super-aligned knife edged aerodynamic connecting rod is also made with a special aluminium alloy. The carburettor sports the latest double bottom-end adjustment for fine-tuning.
