Exotek TLR 22 alloy motor plate & front camber block

Exotek have two new aluminium option parts available for TLR’s 22 line of vehicles. First up is the Flite motor plate, a fully CNC-machined part that is of a vented design to keep the motor running cooler and longer for that extra edge. Aggressive cut outs allows the heat that builds up inside the gear cover to vent out thus lowering overall motor temps greatly. The extra machining reduces the weight down to 14.5 grams, making it 6 grams lighter than stock, but the critical motor mounting areas are still intact to maintain solid motor mounting and gear mesh. The is intended for the use on indoor clay or carpet tracks, it comes laser etched, polished and anodised in gun metal or limited yellow colour.

JConcepts Dirt Webs 1/8th buggy tyres

JConcepts’ Dirt Webs tyre is now also available in an 1/8th buggy variant. Developed by Brian Kinwald and Jason Ruona the indoor-specific tyre has already proven its performance in 1/10th buggy racing and now the clay tread is also available for the 1/8th class. Originally based on the popular Pressure Points, the tyre design connects uniformly positioned Web-Bars to create an amazingly stable tyre. During 2014, the design was converted to use on a 1/8th buggy carcass and debuted during the 1/8th E-buggy ROAR Nationals in Houston, Texas. The Dirt Web tread sits on the proven JConcepts 1/8th tyre carcass giving a low-profile, wide-body appearance allowing clipped tread to extend all the way to the outer edges. The carefully shaped profile allows a great balance of monster forward traction and comfortable side-bite. Available in multiple compounds and including closed cell inserts, the Dirt Webs can easily be matched to any track conditions ranging from indoor clay, indoor dirt to outdoor hard-packed or treated clay or dirt.

Tekno locking spring perches & rubber shock boots

Tekno RC have new option parts for their line of 1/8th and 1/10th vehicles available. First up is the locking shock rod ends and spring perch set. The all-new design mates up with the company’s new captured shock boots and it will ensure the suspension stays consistent throughout any race or run. The spring perches rest on a shelf around the rod end instead of directly on top of the rod end. The result is less interference from the shock boot and absolutely no sacrifice in up travel. Each spring perch and rod end is also secured by an M3x10mm set screw for added reliability. The rod ends and spring perches are compatible with Tekno’s 1/8th off-road buggies and trucks as well as their 1/10th 4WD SC truck.

New from ProTek R/C comes a 4mm thick foam pit mat for comfortable wrenching in the pits. The high-density mat is soft and durable, and it rolls up for convenient storage. A zipped mesh pouch is included to protect the pit mat while stowed. At 122x61cm, the mat is giving plenty of room when building a new ride or thrashing during quick repairs and it has a non-slip textured surface that has been sealed, so that it is water and oil-resistant. Non-toxic cleaners can be used to remove oily residue left over from shock and differential maintenance.
