Exotek have announced the release of their new heavy duty Pro steering set for the 1/10 Losi Rock and Baja Rey.

The set also includes crush sleeves that go between the bearings which help prolong the bearings life and maintains precise fit and operation of the rack.

JConcepts introduce new Octagon tread rubber variants

JConcepts have announced the release of new rubber compound variants of their popular Octagon ST and SCT tyres. Developed for high-bite slick tyre racing the beauty of the Octagons lay just beneath the surface where JConcepts has removed a little surface area in the geometry based pattern. The carcass is slightly lower profile than JConcepts’ slick tires of the past and incorporates heavy X-pattern style inner ribbing for increased support. The continuous thickness carcass is light-weight and utilizes the industry standard 2.2” mounting beads. Like the name suggests, the embossed tread which is Octagon shaped is repeated and overlapped to form a subculture of grippy surface edges for dry or abrasive surfaces. The stadium truck variant is now available in Aqua and Silver compound while the SCT line has the Silver compound added. All come including grey colour Dirt-Tech inserts.
