New from JConcepts comes the Hustle wheel for the Traxxas Slash and Slash 4×4 short course trucks. The Hustle wheel takes into account the durability needs of the Slash racer without compromising looks. 6-spoke design rotates about the centre of the wheel with a deep recess in the centre which allows plenty of footing for wheel locknuts. The base features the black wheel appearance and 6 moulded mock locknuts which bring a realistic look. In-between the spread 6 spokes rests small grooves which break up the pattern adding a split personality to the overall design. The entire face of the wheel has been plated with a silver coating which gives racers a little more luxurious look to match-up to the variety of 1:1 inspired bodies on the market. The moulded black colour of the wheel shows through in the extra depth of the spokes which was specifically designed into the wheel. Wheel profile, interior and exterior ribbing and spoke design were all areas of focus while creating the combination of durability, clearance, functionality and appearance.

Made for the Team Associated T5M are the new titanium knurl tip front axles from JConcepts. The design is based around a high-quality titanium construction, and a knurled axle tip for finger control and access. Finger control gives the mechanic a grippy place to rest a finger so the front tyre doesn’t rotate easily during changes making the process quicker and with less frustration. The design also eliminates screws and other items which are hard to inspect for issues which limit performance and add additional weight. The light-weight, free spinning design includes axle roll-pins to allow easy assembly of a necessary but (not included) clamping hex adaptor.
