JConcepts B6 3-gear laydown honeycomb motor plate

Made for all Team Associated B6 vehicles with 3-gear laydown transmission is JConcepts’ new shielded honeycomb motor plate. The design of the plate makes the part both lightweight and very rigid in multiple directions, resulting in extraordinary toughness while, as a new feature, the motor plate has a built-in spur gear shield to add gear and ultimately body protection during crashes, landings and normal wear and tear. The honeycomb feature adds a 3D look especially as they remain natural aluminium while the rest is available blue or black anodised colours. Slight chamfering on the 3mm thickness material allows the rather beefy plate to look quite slim and trim.

Raceform Lazer Jig 1/8th buggy tyre gluing jig

Raceform have introduced the Lazer Jig, a dedicated tyre glueing station for 1/8th buggy tyres.

The tool is machined from high-quality plexiglas, it takes all standard 1/8th off-road rims and tyres and comes with a 2-piece needle applicator and decal sheet.

Flash Point magnetic 17mm wheel wrench & wheel nuts

Flash Point R/C have introduced their new magnetic wheel wrench for 17mm wheel nuts as well as a matching wheel nut set. Starting with the wheel wrench, the lightweight tool has a built in magnet and one end of the wrench’s handle is open and allows to remove the set-screws that hold the pin and wheel hex on the driveshaft. The wrench combined with the new Flash Point wheel nuts makes changing tyres quicker and easier as the chance of loosing a wheel nut during wrenching is greatly reduced. As for the magnetic wheel nuts, the captured and knurled fasteners have a small steel screw and nut that ensure the nut securely rests in the above tool. The wheel nuts are captured to keep dirt out of the axles and are knurled to lock the wheel nuts in place during long main events. The wheel nuts are designed to fit any 1/8th buggy and truck that use a 17mm wheel hex and they are available separately as 4-piece sets or even as a combo set including the magnetic wheel wrench.
