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.

Spanish company MD Racing today released new images of their MDT15 1/10th electric touring car prototype. They show what we understand is a working prototype that will make a first appearance at this weekend’s final round of the 2013/14 Euro Touring Series at the Hudy Racing Arena in Trencin, Slovakia. The car is a mixture of new and proven design ideas and based on a carbon fibre chassis plate with a vertical upper deck construction, carbon fibre A-arms and new design bulkheads which allow to access the front and rear spool/diff without the need to take off the shock towers or shocks. We bring you more information about the kit as soon as we get them.
