JConcepts TLR 22 Punisher body

JConcepts TLR 22 Punisher body

The Punisher body by JConcepts for the TLR 22 is the meanest, nastiest thing out for 1/10th buggy racing. The slight cab-forward treatment is amongst the most aggressive in class giving the Punisher top notch performance. Blended wing / body design gives additional down-force to the side-pods and windshield which increases driveability, corner speed and jump control. The rear base of the cab area represents the latest offering for 1/10th buggy racing featuring a rear scoop allowing additional tune-ability and cooling for high-performance racing. The Punisher body includes both cut-lines so the user can trim to either rear or mid motor chassis configurations. In addition to the newly designed body JConcepts has included 2 of the popular 6.5″ wide high down force V-wings that are commonly used around the world.

Shepherd V8 Velox yellow clutch shoe

Shepherd V8 Velox yellow clutch shoe

Shepherd have introduced their new performance enhancing yellow clutch shoe for the V8 Velox Competion Clutch. This new clutch shoe was succesfully used by our factory teamdrivers at the World Championship 1/8th scale where Shepherd had the second most cars in the top 20 after qualifying with Daniele Ielasi and Michele Romagnoli even ranked in the top 10. The shoe is CNC-machined from a special high grip material that is a little bit harder than the optional white clutch shoe material. Due to the high friction surface it slips less providing maximum acceleration also on high grip tracks when setting the enganging point to high RPMs.

Reflex Racing RSD parts for TC6

Reflex Racing RSD parts for TC6

New from Mini-Z specialists Reflex Racing is their latest product line called RSD, which stands for Reflex Suspension Dynamics. RSD will focus on larger scale suspension parts and other accessories and they will start off with updates for the Team Associated TC6. The first TC6 parts are set to arrive in Mid May and they will include vertical ball stud bulkhead caps for the TC6. Much like the other popular TC’s out there, these shock tower mounts give you infinite roll center adjustments. You have the option of the extra long link or a second hole which makes the camber link slightly longer than the shock tower mounting positions. A Tuned Spring Set comes with the ideal spring rates for your AE TC6. With the advent of LiPo and Brushless, cars now have a lower polar movement inertia and softer spring rates are necessary. The advantage of these springs is that they were designed for the TC6. The size is perfect for the shocks and the rates are optimized for on track performance. Finally there are popular 1.0, 1.5mm pistons, machined out of delrin in order to allow smoother shock operation and of course ease of use, as no drilling or shaving must be done to these to make them work flawlessly. These pistons will work on any shock that uses a 10mm diameter piston with a 3mm shock shaft.

Werks Racing B6 & B5-Pro engines

Werks Racing B6 & B5-Pro engines

Werks Racing have announced the release of their new B5-Pro and B6-Pro engine. They left the basic performance characteristics of the aggressive bottom and strong mid/top of the B5 and the super smooth and linear power band of the B6 in place and just made them better with these new Pro versions. By incorporating ceramic rear bearings and a lightened and epoxy filled crankshaft in the Pro versions, engines will now spool up faster providing increased acceleration and fuel economy. Black anodized crankcases not only look sharp but also provide for increased heat dissipation. A billet CNC machined rear back plate reduces weight and increases rigidity of the case assembly. A new heat insulation sleeve material improves carburetor performance and reduces the likelihood of heat saturation. Finally everything is topped off with a new, large diameter cooling head which not only improves heat dissipation but also lowers the overall CG of the engine by reducing weight by 5% over the standard B5 & B6 heads and an amazing 10% over their 2010 head design.
