Coming from Xray and made for the XB8 series of buggies is a graphite-reinforced lower front suspension arm for the C-hub-style suspension. The special graphite composite mixture offers increased rigidity in high-bite and high-temperature conditions while allowing for a more free suspension movement on dusty tracks. Due to being less flexible, the arm increased stability and cornering speed on medium to high-bite tracks. The arm is available separately and it is usable on both the left and right hand side of the buggy.

JConcepts’ popular Dirt Webs 1/10th buggy front tyre is now also available in the Aqua A2 compound. Debuted at the 2018 ROAR 1/10th Nationals, and also used in the IFMAR World Championships in Perth Australia, the Aqua compound was the speedy option for the ultra dry, dusty groove conditions in both scales. The new compound labeled as Aqua A2 works alongside the traditional blue or R2 compound, however, it is much more friendly in these special indoor and outdoor conditions seen in the new generation. The Aqua is not a replacement for any compound but used as an alternative in warm and hot weather conditions and abrasive tracks.
