Team Titan Blitz R18 & ARX body shell

Team Titan have introduced two new 1/8 scale on-road body shells in the form of the R18 and ARX. The Blitz R18 is based in the Audi R18 Le-Mans race car and features a closed cockpit that gives more front end downforce compared to Team Titan’s open cockpit bodies. Also incorporated into the design is an extra rear single wing to fine-tune the balance and stability. The second new body is the ARX that sports a newly designed front spoiler and additional rear wing for optimised downforce and faster corner speeds. Both bodies are available made from 0.8mm, 0.9mm or extra durable 1.0mm polycarbonate material and come with new side stiffeners and sticker sheets.

JConcepts SCT backpack

JConcepts got in touch to show us their new backpack specifically designed to carry a complete Short Course truck with room to spare. The bag features durable external material with front panel printing. Traditional front panel pockets have room for just about anything from spare parts to electrical and tools. The full-length side pockets are purpose built to hold four mounted tires on each side of the bag giving the racer multiple tire options in one contained unit. In addition, the inside of the bag has a composite hard bottom which allows the backpack to support its own weight during storage and packing. A carrying handle on top and conventional back straps with padded area make trips extremely simple. The backpack and compartments are not intended as LiPo safety material. Always follow manufacturers recommendations and specifications while storing potentially hazardous equipment.

JConcepts Hi-Clearance wing for TLR 22

JConcepts have released their Hi-Clearance wing as a direct fit for the TLR 22. 1/10th buggies are very dependent on the rear wing for traction, flight control and balance. The Hi-Clearance wing incorporates several important elements making it the most versatile wing yet. JConcepts has joined the high-performance wing into a paired combination that is easier to trim, detail and finish and each performance wing package now includes 2 wings for added value to the customer. The Hi-Clearance feature provides extra clearance for the expansion of tires during high acceleration points and especially on high speed straight-aways and also allows for full suspension movement during hard landings and full compression during cornering.
