Pro-Line 1/10th front wing & alloy wing mounts

New from Pro-Line is a 1/10th 2WD buggy front wing with aluminium wing mounts for a range of vehicles. The new front wing first debuted at the 2016 Reedy Race of Champions by taking home the Championship win at the hands of Pro-Line team driver Dakotah Phend. The wing is placed in front of the shock tower and sits as low as possible for the cleanest air flow and lowest possible centre of gravity. Coming in 2-piece sets each one has three different cut lines to adjust the amount of front downforce to what works best for the car and track conditions. The included aluminium mount has been black anodised to fit with virtually any paint scheme, they are also made in the USA using the latest in CNC manufacturing technology and the wing sets are available for the Team Associated B5 and B6, TLR 22 3.0, Kyosho RB6, and Yokomo YZ-2.

Sprint RC have introduced their all new DTRS-Evo2 bodyshell for 1/8th on-road cars.

JConcepts RC8B3 Strike 2 & 8ight-T 4.0 Finnisher body

During this weekend’s ROAR 1/8th Fuel Off-road Nationals at Thornhill Raceway in Hutto, Texas, JConcepts have introduced two new nitro off-road bodyshells. First up is the Strike 2 for the Team Associated RC8B3 buggy. The refinements done target especially towards lower grip tracks with the front pod “finger channels” and rear spoiler improving stability and traction on today’s high-speed tracks while also making for more downforce which is essential on lower grip surfaces.

Protoform Body Support Foam set

Coming from Protoform and made for most touring car bodyshells is the new Body Support Foam set. Designed to eliminate the gap and play between the car’s foam bumper and the inside of the body the blocks and strips keep the front of the body supported for both increasing durability and keeping the aerodynamic integrity of the body intact. Each set comes with four blocks and four strips with super-sticky adhesive backs. The blocks are 9mm thick and are a quick solution to pad bodies in extremely forward mounting positions, as seen in 1/10th touring cars, and also works great with bodies that have a long front overhang. The 2mm thick strips can be used to fine tune this gap in smaller increments and can be cut and stacked on one another. The foams can be added both to the foam bumper or to the bodyshell.
