RCLyfe 22SCT 3.0 carbon fibre optionals

RCLyfe have announced the soon release of new carbon fibre optionals for the TLR 22SCT 3.0 2WD short course truck. First up is the 22SCT LowRider front tower that was designed to give optimum performance by lowering roll centre, limiting roll created by the suspension, and smoothing out steering response. The LowRider front tower is to be used with the TLR 5.0 G3 rear buggy shock bodies and the TLR 5.0 G3 front shock shafts. Also new is the LowRider rear shock tower that also lowers roll cents and limited chassis roll, making it the ideal addition to the front shock tower. The rear tower is to be used with the TLR 5.0 G3 rear buggy shocks, the TLR 5.0 carbon tower base, and Exotek body mounts. Both the front and rear shock stay are cut from high-quality 5mm carbon fibre.

RPM Rock Rey front lower arms

RPM have announced the release of new front lower arms for the popular Losi Rock Rey vehicle. The Rock Rey is known to be a monster of a performer and the RPM front arms promise a much needed increase in strength. While RPM A-arms are stronger than stock, they’ve also been designed with added bellcrank clearance to protect that hard-to-get bellcrank from heavy, full compression suspension slams. Added protection means fewer trips to the pits and more time on the rocks. The new arms are also extremely light, weighing in at 11 grams per pair lighter than stock and less unsprung weight means faster acceleration and braking as well as better suspension performance. The arms are sold in pairs and replace stock Losi #LOS234011.
