JConcepts Finnisher T5M bodyshell

JConcepts introduce the Finnisher bodyshell for the Team Associated T5M stadium truck. The slight cab forward, raked windshield and aggressive stance highlight a performance oriented core. A revised front hood scoop allows plenty of clearance for the T5M geometry while smoothing out the front down force area. A front chin spoiler, headlight and grill protect the front-end from unwanted up-drafts during flight and like the ROAR National Champion Hi-Flow SCT body, the Finnisher body has built-in air escape passages which allow the customer to fine-tune the body for maximum outdoor performance. The body includes the high performance gurney spoiler which increases rear grip and balances the handling characteristics of the aggressively styled body.

RB CXR SLS9 V2 nitro on-road engines

Following the introduction of their 2015 nitro off-road engine range French company RB now have information on two new on-road engines available. The super long stroke CXR SLS9 V2 is available in a standard and a special Ielasi Tuned version for even higher performance. Based on the 2014 range the V2 offers a 9-port design with two by-passes, the Multi Exhaust System and two additional lubrication wholes and the engines make use of a lightened and silicone paste filled 14.5mm crankshaft with 3-weight balancing. The rear bearing is a 14.5mm ceramic race while the front 8-ball type is a standard affair. The new low centre of gravity lightweight cooling head offers 10 degree angled cooling fins for improved heat dissipation and the double adjustment carburettor comes with 9mm and 8.5mm restrictors. While looking the same from the outside – despite the Ielasi Tuned engraving on the cooling head– the powered-up version of the CXR SLS9 V2 features subtle modifications to the liner and crankshaft, made by the Italian frontrunner to extract the maximum performance from the engine.

Shepherd Velox E8 carbon fibre chassis

Shepherd introduce a carbon fibre main chassis plate, one of the first option parts especially developed for the Velox E8 1/8 electric on-road kit. Made from premium carbon material the chassis plate is nearly 50 percent lighter than the standard aluminium part and it creates a small raise of the centre of gravity combined with a different flex characteristic which leads to improved site bite. This results in better handling and agility of the car while the acceleration is improved at the same time because of the reduced weight overall weight. A direct replacement for the aluminium chassis the extra stiff carbon chassis is also a true eye catcher and available from now on.
