New from Mugen Seiki Racing come two ride height gauges. Manufactured from aluminium and coming laser etched for precision measuring they are available for on-road and off-road vehicles with the on-road gauge offering a range of 5mm to 15mm while the off-road gauge has a range from 18mm to 45mm. Both gauges come pre-assembled and they use a simple thumbscrew to lock in the desired setting.
JConcepts have introduced the Detox 1/8th buggy tyre. Designed for those extra brutal track conditions, the tyre features a closely spaced tread that was made to survive long mains and it is available in compounds such as red, blue and green giving racers an option for just about any temperature requirement. The design revolves around the centre structure which has hefty lugs arranged in a stacked configuration. The lugs have strategically placed cuts and grooves to allow flex in dusty conditions to perform even if the track is deteriorating while a long main is in progress. The outer portion of the tread fits together like building blocks, with shapes placed together that nest well but also work together to flex laterally to provide steadfast side-bite. The tread tapers off cleanly to the outer side-wall giving a smooth transition during hard cornering. Included with the tyre come JConcepts’ Dirt-Tech inserts.

Coming from Schelle Racing Innovations are the shock tower plugs to fill unused 3mm holes in buggy shock towers to avoid unwanted soil-samples when you crash and the buggy is digging into the ground. Their stealthy black colour makes them pretty much invisible after installation and the pack includes 10 strips that can be easily cut to size.
