Vision Racing T6.1 5mm front & rear shock towers

New from Vision Racing are front and rear 5mm carbon fiber shock towers for the Team Associated T6.1 truck. Both towers have extra webbing for added strength, while the 5mm thickness adds side to side rigidity. All edges have a nice chamfer for looks and greater durability. The shock stays incorporate micro tune shock positioning by adding holes in between the stock locations. On the rear tower the stock 3rd hole has been removed but a new inner hole has been added. The back of each tower has a 1mm recess to keep the stock shock angle.

RC-Project 1/8th off-road shock standoffs

RC-Project from Italy have announced the release of their all-new shock standoffs for 1/8th off-road buggies. Machined from high-quality 7075-T6 Ergal material the standoff bushings are of a specific design and geometry that greatly improves parts life of bushing and standoff over common designs. In addition a hard-coated surface and teflon treatment reduces friction between the bushing and standoff, allowing for a parts life of about 30 to 35 litres without replacing the standoff or bushing. The standoffs are available as 0 offset or +5 offset variants, separately or as Pro Driver package including Grade 5 6Al4V Titanium rolled thread screws for Team Associated, HB Racing, Mugen and SWorkz kits.

JConcepts 1978 Chevy Camaro Street Stock body

The 1978 Chevy Camaro by JConcepts is a great compliment to an emerging entry level class on the dirt-oval racing scene. The new body shell features a fastback roofline with built-in rear spoiler, traditional V-nose and grille with perched headlights. The rear is highlighted by large format taillight and turn signal combination lamps. In addition, the large format side-windows and wrap-around rear window scream late 1970’s styling cues. The 1978 Camaro debuted in May of 2019 at the inaugural JConcepts Spring Dirt Oval Nationals in Omaha, Nebraska to a thrilling reception. As with all JConcepts body shells, the set includes clear body, window mask, instruction sheet and decal sheet. The body measures a 11″ wheelbase and the inside dimensions of the body are 9.50″ front and 9.75″ rear width.

JConcepts B6.1 Fin titanium turnbuckles black

Coming from JConcepts is the black colour Fin titanium turnbuckle set for the Team Associated B6.1 buggy. The base of the design is centered around a .143” titanium hex size which gradually tapers down into a 3mm thread base design which accepts the standard AE ball-cup configuration. The focus of the styling surrounds the lengthened adjustment hex area and the “finned” cuts that rotate about the center. The turnbuckles are lightweight and the black coloring gives the stealthiest look in the pits and on the track.
