JConcepts black 1/8th & 1/10th tyre balancer

JConcepts’ foldable tyre balancer for 1/8th and 1/10th tyres is now also available in a black variant. The collapsible design rests in a lay-down configuration but pivots to a 90 degree stance and locks when in usable condition. The centre point of any balancer are the bearings, the free spinning action rests inside the hub design. The interchangeable thumb nuts for 1/10th and 1/8th wheel versatility are located on the main axle which can be moved from its home base position to its critical balancing position with ease. The upright is built in aluminium material, anodised blue, etched with instructions and chamfered for that extra lustrous look. The base of the item is built to protect, position and maintain a small footprint at all times. The base has four stand-off legs to hold a steady structure while a thumb screw secures the upright in either the up or down position. The all-aluminium and steel design comes set in a storage box for protection and travel convenience.

Protoform F26 formula body shell

Following a first teaser image Protoform have officially revealed the F26 body shell for 1/10th formula pan cars. The design is focusing on all-out performance, high downforce and easy fitment and it takes inspiration from one of the most radical and progressive designs that full-scale open-wheel racing has ever seen. A wide, channeled nose provides more front-end grip, balanced by side winglets that plant the rear of your car. Towards the back of the body, a rear deck area featuring a spur gear cover directs airflow efficiently to the rear wing. The area surrounding the rear pod has ample clearance for batteries, side tubes and motor wires, making the F26 incredibly easy to mount. Included with this body is a lightweight nylon driver helmet for an added touch of scale realism. The decal sheet includes steering wheel and seatbelt graphics as well as helmet visors and Protoform logos in a wide variety of colours. This body is pulled in PF’s lightweight, high-quality polycarbonate and it fits most of today’s formula chassis.
