JConcepts NB48.3 S1 buggy bodyshell

Coming from JConcepts and made for the Tekno RC NB48.3 buggy is the new Silencer S1 bodyshell. Offering a distinctive cab forward design with a medium rake angle for an aggressive driving feel without sacrificing out-right balance the body also sports forward pods that have the necessary height for chassis related items with an added scoop, built for cooling access from a forward position. The rear deck is built up and includes a rear winglet which drops some force on the rear of the vehicle. The mid-length cab incorporates a one-piece side window layout and includes a long shark fin off the rear of the cab for side-traction and straight-line tracking ability. At the rear of the cab rest several areas which can be trimmed for air-flow and hot air escape which is common inside a nitro vehicle. The S1 is formed in clear polycarbonate material with protective film and each package includes window mask and detailed decal sheet.

Roche Rapide F1 CF rear axle & Ti-coated shock shaft

Roche Rapide F1 CF rear axle & Ti-coated shock shaft

Coming from Roche and made for the Rapide F1 1/10th scale formula car are a carbon fibre rear axle and a titanium-coated shock shaft. Starting with the rear axle, the assembly uses a carbon fibre shaft with a lightweight yet durable aluminium differential plate and a threaded aluminium insert for the adjustment nut. Using the part will improve acceleration and top speed while also giving more on-power steering due to a different weight distribution. Also new and made for the Rapide F1 is a titanium-coated centre shock shaft. The space age coating will reduce friction, making for a smoother and more efficiently working shock absorber.

Infinity TLR 22 3.0 carbon fibre rear shock tower brace

Infinity TLR 22 3.0 carbon fibre rear shock tower brace

Coming from X Factory’s Infinity line of option parts is a new carbon fibre rear shock tower brace for laydown converted TLR 22 3.0 buggies. Initially developed by J.P. Richards, it moves the shocks to the front of the rear arms and has many advantages over the standard layout. By moving the somewhat heavy shocks forward, their weight is closer to the centre of gravity which can give a huge advantage in a range of track conditions. The carbon fibre brace also stiffens the tower and forward shocks control the motion of the arms better. According to Richards the car jumps better with the stiffer tower and better arm control. It pushes off the jump face better and lands better. It is also more consistent in corners, especially on-power during exit. The car can be driven harder through every corner and over every jump. The set includes the carbon fibre shock tower brace as well as all needed mounting hardware.

Schelle B6 laydown motor plate & guard combo

Schelle B6 laydown motor plate & guard combo-1

Coming from Schelle Racing Innovations and made for the Team Associated B6 buggy with laydown gearbox is the new motor plate and guard combo set. The laydown motor plate allows to attach a 3-D-printed spur gear guard for extra protection as well as helping align the body on the chassis and prevent body rubs. The full round upper portion protects the spur gear with a round surface, and allows for a simple bolt-on spur guard which protects the gear from sucking in carpet fuzz or debris and helps keep everything in place. The motor plate is available in blue or black anodising and for all B6 laydown kits. Coming in December is also a Delrin guard for improved looks.
