JConcepts D8T Punisher & 1/16th Slash Truth

JConcepts have introduced a number of new items including new bodies for the Hot Bodies D8T and Traxxas 1/16th Slash. First up is the new Punisher body for the D8T which they claim to be is the meanest, nastiest thing out for 1/8th truck racing. Beginning with the newly re-designed grill and headlight treatment, the Punisher stares you down like a trained fighter. The hood and cab treatment are amongst the lowest in class giving the Punisher top notch performance. The bed area represents the latest offering for 1/8th truck racing featuring a super low profile design for increased engine cooling, air flow and escape. For the 1/16th Slash, the Truth’s cab, bed and fenders are all areas of focus and in addition, one of the highlights of the styling cues includes extra fender clearance to minimize troublesome tire rubbing issues.

Nosram VTEC LiFe RX packs & CPX tires

Nosram have introduced a number of new items including their new line up of VTEC LiFe receiver packs and their VTEC pre glued Carpet tires. The batteries are a combination of today’s most used battery types, the robustness and impact resistance of NiMh batteries combined with the capacity, long lifetime and weight advantage of a LiPo battery. They also impress with a higher number of charge cycles and higher cell safety compared to LiPos and the further advantage is that it can be used without an extra RX-regulator. The new VTEC CPX tires offer a newly developed high-traction tire specially for indoor carpet racing. The pre-glued tire features a special low-profile design, which prevents traction-roll on medium to high-grip tracks. With the new CPX pre-glued carpet tire, Nosram also offers a wheel for carpet touring car racing that guarantees 100% controlled racing. The answer to all tyre cheating possibilities are the semi-transparent rims, through which you see the inside of the rims, the result is no cheating.
