TLR 5ive-B 1/5th scale 4WD race buggy kit

Team Losi Racing have introduced their all-new 5ive-B 1/5th scale 4WD race buggy kit. Purpose-designed for competition use the buggy is inspired by TLR’s 8ight 1/8th scale buggy platform and it is based on a hard-anodised 5mm 6061-T6 short wheelbase aluminium chassis. Milled pockets make for optimised flex and the lowest possible weight. The suspension package uses hard anodised 24mm shock absorbers and heavy duty aluminium shock towers. The shocks also benefit from X-rings, shock boots and TiCN shock shafts for smooth, consistent performance. The shock towers offer multiple shock mounting options that give racers an abundance of tuning options for different track conditions. Adjustable toe and anti-squat plates allow to tune the suspension geometry as known from the smaller 1/8th buggies.

LFR Hammer pre-cut 1/8th off-road wing

Leadfinger Racing have announced the release of the pre-cut Hammer 1/8th off-road wing. Designed to withstand even the hardest of crashes the wing features a special design as, by smoothing out the surface on the top of the wing, durability increased dramatically. The same theory was applied to the rear. By eliminating the bolt on wicker bill, no holes need to be drilled. Instead, LFR has created a built in wicker that is moulded into the design. The last step was to make it look more characteristic to an 1/8 thawing, and get away for the 1/10 look. This was accomplished by dropping the side dams which in turn helped to create some serious down force. To make things easier for the racer the wing comes pre-cut, doing away with the hassle to cutting the ultra thick polycarbonate.

JConcepts 1999 Ford Lightning Scalpel bodyshell

JConcepts have introduced the 1999 Ford Lightning bodyshell for Scalpel converted Slash 4×4 trucks. The SVT F-150 Lightning body is built low and wide and excels when converted to the Scalpel speed run configuration. The high-speed shell features a short-wheelbase giving the scale look but with extra width to clear the wide-body tires for optimum handling and acceleration. Exterior elements that distinguish the Lightning from the regular F-150 include new upper and lower front grilles with a horizontal design that is unique to the Lightning in the F-Series line. The headlights, taillights, side-marker lights, and the signature round fog lights all match the full-scale counterpart found only on the Lightning, which give the exterior a clean, jewel-like appearance. The cab’s center high-mounted stop lamp also is unique to the Lightning, and is created with a simple detailed decal.

Revolution Design 4XS aluminium main chassis

New from Revolution Design Racing Products is an aluminium main chassis plate for the Carisma 4XS 4WD buggy. The new chassis improves flex characteristics and makes the car a lot stiffer compared the standard carbon fibre chassis, which helps especially on high-grip surfaces like astroturf or carpet. The high-quality 7075-T6 aluminium chassis also lowers the overall centre of gravity, which is another improvement on high-grip tracks. Also incorporated into the design is an optional forward mounted battery location to increase steering, but also to improve the overall weight bias and handling of the car. The chassis is made in Germany and limited to 50 pieces only.
