ARC Nitro Italy R8.0 series gearbox

Coming from ARC Nitro Italy is a new lightweight 2-speed gearbox for the ARC R8.0 and R8.1. Smaller in size than the original assembly the gearbox is also 10g lighter thanks to updated shapes and materials, it comes with harder springs and a reinforced 2nd gear bell. The results on the track are improved engine response especially in low RPM ranges, better acceleration and more precise gear shafts. In addition the gearbox is also more consistent over the course of a run, even in long mains, in high grip or high temperature conditions. The gearbox is a direct fit for both the R8.0 and R8.1.

JConcepts Ellipse 1/8th gold compound tyre

JConcepts’ Ellipse tyre, 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 Dirt Web tyre was originally released during the 2013 racing season and debuted in spectacular fashion with a win at the CRCRC Midwest Championships. Since that time, the Dirt Webs have been an industry leader for indoor performance and often chosen as a control tire for performance, reliability and consistency. The Ellipse has already shown success in the hands of Ryan Maifield taking TQ and 1st place in the 1/8th buggy 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 color complete the race tuned package.
