Yokomo 1/10th buggy carpet spring sets

Yokomo introduce new 1/10th big bore shock absorber springs under their new Yatabe Arena brand. Designed under the supervision of Shin Adachi, the springs are developed to improve handling on artificial high-bite surfaces such as astroturf and carpet. The springs are shorter in length compared to the stock B-Max2 and B-Max4 springs to allow for a lower ride height, they reduce traction rolling and improve the handling over jumps and while landing. The colour-coded springs will become available end of June, beginning of July in five different hardnesses for the front and four for the rear.

Exotek F104 Ultra diff axle & diff housing

Exotek Racing introduce two new option parts for the F104 series of formula cars in the form of an aluminium diff axle and diff housing. Starting with the diff axle, the combined 1-piece part reduces the play and weight of the stock axle with extra machining reducing the axle to only 4.5 grams whereas the stock part is 7grams. The axle is ideal for high speed conditions due to the lower rotating mass and reduced unsprung weight. Special machining makes for exacter diff ring tolerance to insure a better diff ring fit as the diff ring will not slip back and forth like in the stock diff.

JConcepts SCT Dirt Webs tyre

JConcepts introduce their popular Dirt Webs tyre tread for 1/10th short course trucks with the SCT Dirt Webs tyre. Based on the design ideas of Brian Kinwald and Jason Ruona the tyre combines the Pressure Points tread with uniformly positioned web-bars for added stability. This makes for increased forward traction while inside positioned horizontal and vertical bars help with side bite. The outer edges feature a single rib on each side which proves extra side-bite during heavy cornering and side-loading characteristics. The Dirt Web thread sits on the proven Bar Code tyre carcass giving the original wide-body tyre a low profile and appearance allowing clipped tread to extend all the way to the outer edges. Available in multiple compounds, the Dirt Webs can easily be matched to any track conditions ranging from indoor clay, indoor dirt to outdoor hard-packed or treated clay or dirt.
