Vision Racing introduce new TLR 22 & AE 6.1 parts

Available now from Vision Racing are new carbon fibre optionals for the TLR 22 and Team Associated B6.1 series vehicles. First up is the Version 2 4mm carbon fibre motor plate for the TLR 22 5.0 buggy and TLR 22T 4.0 truck. It is 1mm thicker than stock which gives it more rigidity while still coming in a couple grams lighter. All edges have a nice chamfer for improved looks and quicker parts prepping. The second new item is the 2.5mm carbon fibre front wing brace. This part will work on the TLR 22 5.0 or Team Associated B6.1 using a lower wing mount. Lastly is the Version 2 carbon fibre rear wing brace for the TLR 22 5.0, again featuring a nice chamfer for cool looks and better part protection in the event of a crash.

IGT8 1/8th on-road DAO Drag Assisted One Way kit

IGT8 have introduced their new drag assisted one way kit for 1/8th scale on-road cars. The system works with silicone oil to increase the internal friction that slows down the motion of the front wheels when being off throttle. This effect will improve braking, steering at corner entry and it will also help with more consistency and faster lap times. Tested extensively by the IGT8 team, the DAO was officially debuted last weekend at the 2019 US Nitro Cup with great results as Paolo Morganti took the TQ in the 1/8 class and Rafael Angulo finished 3rd while Ricardo Garri won the Master class. The system is available for ARC, Capricorn, Infinity, Mugen, Xray and Shepherd cars with a variant for Serpent kits coming soon.
