STRC Traxxas 1 degree Hub Carriers

New from ST Racing Concepts are these pro-racing aluminium 1 degree rear toe-in hub carriers for Traxxas Slash/Stampede and VXL/Rustler VXL. CNC machined from high-quality aluminium material, these rear hub carriers hold the tight-tolerance for an accurate 1 deg. toe-in. A set-screw over the hinge-pin design secures the hinge-pin in the hub carriers and this design prevents wear from the hinge-pins on the hub carriers. Available in blue, gun metal, silver and red. STRC also now offers replacement components for their option parts line. Items such as their lock-nut style hinge-pins available in pairs separately, O-rings seals for the aluminium shock bodies, replacement high heat-treated front axles for thev17mm hex conversion kit, and upper shock mounts for the front and rear aluminum shock towers.

JConcepts Slash Over tray

When racing on a loamy or top soil track surface the inside of the Slash chassis can become loaded with dirt or debris which creates extra weight. With the JConcepts over-tray these worries are minimized with the simple and functional item. Fitting nicely under the body, the over-tray hugs the outside dimension of the Slash chassis protecting the inside from unwanted excess dirt and debris build-up during racing conditions. It fits snugly around the entire chassis structure while being attached in the front with screws and a body clip in the rear for easy access. The over-tray is built with extra height and rake to provide extra room for various electrical and battery configurations.
