ProTek RC TruTorque shock pliers

The ProTek RC ‘TruTorque’ shock pliers are a must for any serious racer who routinely tunes their suspension package. The “nut-cracker” shape of the all-aluminum pliers allows users to gauge the compression applied to the part that is held. The surface of the pliers has been anodized black and features a slight texture to ensure a solid hold. Whether you need to grab ahold of a shock shaft for installing new shock ends or you need to secure your shock body for installing a shock cap, these pliers are up to the task. They also have a stepped post for snapping 1/10-scale and 1/8-scale ball ends in or out.

JConcepts wheel dish for Hazard wheel

The Hazard wheel by JConcepts has taken the Short Course class by storm. With victories all over the world and back-to-back ROAR National Championships, the Hazard has established itself as the go-to wheel for Short Course racing on the Team Associated SC10, SC10 4×4 and TLR 22 SCT and Losi SCT-E. With advancements and perspective changing within the Short Course Class and driver preferences focusing more exclusively on performance, JConcepts has added a much anticipated accessory to the line-up. The wheel dish, available in black, white and yellow, can add a personal or more focused driven setup tweak to the popular Hazard wheel. The wheel dish is injection molded plastic and features built-in geometry to engage into the Hazard wheel and provide that dish wheel style with very minimal effort. The wheel dish is cleverly designed to secure to the wheel and with just the addition of the wheel nut, clamps right into place.

Picco Torque .21 EdoMod X-Type on-road engine

The new Torque .21 EdoMod X-Type on-road racing engine from Picco comes with a new long stroke design to further improve low and mid range acceleration. The components have been ‘hand modified’ by Edoardo Picco using his extensive experience and thousand of hours of testing resulting in improved reliability and performance while maintaining good fuel efficiency. A balanced 14mm ‘turbo’ silicone-filled crankshaft helps improve fuel flow and reduce weight, while a hand modified rear back plate improves fuel flow. Furthermore a lightened CNC machined piston has been made from high percentage silicone alloy billet, a large size finned turbo combustion chamber insert gives better heat dissipation, the engine sports a larger yet ultra light weight cooling head, Swiss quality 14mm main bearing (ceramic ball bearing are available as optional) front and rear and to complete the package, a composite slide carburetor with 8.0mm and 9.0mm venturi inserts.
