JConcepts S2 & F2 TLR 22 5.0 body shells

JConcepts have updated their popular S2 and F2 design body shells to now fit the TLR 22 5.0 buggy. Slammed overall height allows the S2 to whisk through the turns with a low centre of mass while the progressive cab design provides plenty of front-end force for superior balance and steering. A channeled roof directs the flow through the centre of the body while also increasing the rigidity of cockpit. The dual side-window design that has become famous on the JConcepts bodies remains to bring a traditional feel to the layout. The upper side-pods feature distinct vents used to help relieve hot air build-up inside the body for those high-powered runs or hot days at the track. Carved and detailed side-pods edge the body giving the highly aero unit a stylish look with a tight fit and finish. Cut-lines are included on the body to accommodate stand-up and lay-down transmission layouts giving all out versatility.

Schaffner B6 series waterfall fan mount

Schaffner Racing Products have introduced a new waterfall fan mount for Team Associated B6 and B6.1 based vehicles. The 3-D-printed part was developed for stand-up transmission setups and it ensures improved motor cooling for less performance fading towards the end of a run. When using the mount, most LCG battery packs will fit to the furthest back position, however standard size shorty packs will move back to just one hole position forward, giving owners nearly full adjustability with most battery packs. The fan mount is usable for B6, B6.1, T6.1, and SC6.1 kits and it is also available in a variant for laydown and layback gearboxes.

Capricorn C80 new design front & rear hubs

Coming from Capricorn are new design front and rear and hubs for their C80x series of 1/8th scale on-road kits. The hubs sport separate aluminium bearing inserts that ensure super-precise bearing installation and a drivetrain that produces less drag during acceleration as the bearings do not flex – and pinch – under load. The result is increased drivetrain efficiency that can add up to 2km/h of top speed. In addition the patent pending hubs feature a new geometry for increased steering and traction.
