MIP Pro4mance SCTE steering linkage kit

Made for all Losi and TLR SCTE 4WD short course kits is the MIP Pro4mance front steering linkage kit. Containing virtually slop-free Dubro rod ends and lightweight Lunsford titanium turnbuckles the linkage set does away with any binding upon compression for improved handling and control. Fitting on all SCTE kits the parts also scrub some weight compared to the stock setup. Included with the set, that is available for pre-order now, comes all needed hardware.

MIP SCTE 2.0 Bypass1 team tuned pistons

MIP SCTE 2.0 Bypass team tuned pistons

MIP introduce their Bypass1 team tuned shock pistons set for the TLR SCTE 2.0 4WD short course truck. The kit includes pistons whose design is based on full-scale valve technology to allow for nearly infinite setup possibilities of shock compression and rebound thanks to special valves that control how the pistons moves through the shock fluid. The octagon shape of the piston reduces drag while keeping it guided in the shock housing. Included in the set are four #7 shock pistons, ‘fast’, ‘medium’, ‘slow’ and ‘gap’ valves as well as shims and locknuts. Additional pistons and a wider range of valves are available separately. The set fits all TLR SCTE 2.0, Losi SCTE 1.0 and MIP Pro4mance converted trucks.

Yaiba Racing TLR 22 alloy C-hubs & steering rail

Yaiba Racing soon release two new option parts for the Team Losi Racing 22 platform in the form of front aluminium C-hubs and an aluminium steering rail. The C-hubs improve the rigidity and durability of the front end and come with 5° of build-in caster. Included in the set are 2mm shims to allow for easy wheelbase changes. Also new is an aluminium steering rail that is designed to replace the kit’s plastic part. The rail features updated inner steering link positions to improve the Ackermann geometry over the standard part. Both the C-hubs and the steering link are available very soon.

Vision Racing SCTE 2.0 carbon fibre options

Vision Racing introduce three new option parts for TLR’s Ten-SCTE 2.0 4WD short course truck in the form of a centre diff brace and two different length steering drag links. All parts are cut from 2.5mm quasi-isotropic carbon fibre and while the diff brace makes for a stiffer and more rigid centre of the chassis the steering links are used to adjust the Ackermann angle of the front tyres in order to fine-tune steering characteristics.

JConcepts TLR22 & 22T / 22SCT front shock towers

JConcepts have released new 4mm carbon fibre front shock towers for the TLR 22 and 22T / 22SCT. The design team has pin-pointed the exact geometry locations of the front shock tower and designed a durable and lightweight option part that is a direct bolt-on for the front-end of the popular TLR vehicles. The shock tower is 4mm in thickness and features all the stock mounting geometry in a more compact package. Reinforcement ribs have been added where needed for additional strength and mounting hardware has been included for a secure hassle free attachment. Additionally, the replacement front truck tower includes a 2.5mm locknut for body mount attachment.

Avid RC TLR22 Triad aluminium topshaft

Avid RC’s new Triad aluminium topshaft is an upgrade for the TLR 22, 22T and 22 SCT to eliminate the special ‘mini’ kit slipper nut and use a standard 5.5 mm hex driver to set the slipper clutch. Born partly for necessity, partly for convenience, racers will appreciate this upgrade as they can go back to using a standard slipper nut. Many Triad customers had issues with TLR topshafts which fluctuated in length and did not allow for proper spring tension on the slipper clutch, this shaft aims to solve that.

Losi XX-SCT Tuff Country 2wd SCT RTR

The new Losi Tuff Country SCT is based on Losi’s evergreen XXX platform that has stood the tests of time and is ideally suited for taking the knocks and scrapes that comes with SCT racing. Its 3-gear rear motor transmission features a fluid-fillable gear differential and is protected by an adjustable twin disk slipper clutch mechanism. Awesome horsepower is assured courtesy of Dynamite’s 4-pole 3300Kv sensorless brushless motor, which combines optimum efficiency with brute strength and torque to endow the Tuff Country XXX-SCT with incredible acceleration and high top speed capability. Matched with Dynamite’s 45 Amp Fuze Waterproof Sensorless brushless ESC, the Tuff Country XXX-SCT is able to cope with the demands of running is less than ideal weather conditions – making it the perfect companion for anyone eager to explore the RC car hobby for the first time.
