JConcepts Aero & Aero S-type rear wing centre dividers

JConcepts have introduced their new Aero and Aero S-type rear wing centre dividers. The dividers are simple, yet effective and together with wings like the Aero, can provide additional stability and performance needed. Each centre divider has built-in adjustments that allow the driver to alter the height in order to match conditions at hand. The parts are light-weight and feature the JConcepts leading edge wing chamfer which match existing side-dams. Special consideration has been made to line-up with the Aero wing including a hard bevel on the base for better fitment and more air channeling. The standard Aero divider fits JConcepts’ #0168, #0169, #0178, and #0179 wings while the S-type suits the #0173 and #0181 wings. The dividers are available separately with each including two pieces.

TLR 22-4 low-profile body – Teaser image

Team Losi Racing have released a first image of their forthcoming low-profile body shell for the 22-4 1/10th 4WD buggy. Making its debut during this week’s 2017 ROAR Electric Off-road Nationals, the 22 4.0 inspired shell features a lower cab section, and no vertically fin, making for a more flowing and better rotating body when compared to the cab forward offering. TLR’s JP Richards was the first to run the body in practice and says: “First glance, the body has that new sleek and edgy design. Then you hit the track and it really helps the car have a fluent feel, with a good balance of steering, stability, and traction without the overbearing feel of a tall front cab.” The body is roughly scheduled for a late 2017 release.
