Flash Point alloy diff cross pins & graphite grease

New from Flash Point R/C come aluminium differential cross pins for Mugen and TLR vehicles as well as high-pressure grease. Starting with the cross pins, the set can be used in Mugen Seiki vehicles including the MBX7, MBX7R, 7R Eco, MBX7T, MBX7TR, and MBX7TR Eco and as well as the TLR 8ight, 8ight-T, and 8ight-E.

JConcepts TLR22 3.0 Aero front wings

JConcepts TLR22 3.0 Aero front wings

New from JConcepts and made for the TLR22 3.0 buggy are the Aero front wings. Mounted above the front shock tower on the TLR series of vehicles, the front wing mounts in “clean air” and is quite easy to trim, use and test without sacrificing all important track time. Available in two widths, the driver can choose either the “narrow” for a lighter feel or “wide” for heavier down force. The front wing features a high-attack design with trim-able rear gurney options and a radical, edgy design which compliments the Finnisher and Silencer body design. The leading centre section of the wing has been formed into a unique V-shape to perfectly outline the front shock tower geometry and cut lines are included for easy trimming while triple wing mount dimples are included for a bolt-on fit to the popular TLR 22 series of vehicles.
