JConcepts Rulux wheel for SC10 & XXX-SCT

By popular demand JConcepts is bringing the Rulux 12mm hex design to the SC10, SC10 4×4, XXX-SCT and similar wheel offset applications. Rulux wheels are 1:1 inspired and no detail has been missed with these beauties as the Rulux wheel incorporates a lug nut and spoke affect that emulates the real thing. Wheel profile, interior and exterior ribbing and spoke design were all areas of focus while creating the combination of durability, clearance, functionality and appearance. To use the 12mm hex wheel on the SC10 or XXX-SCT it requires an inboard hub conversion for the front and JConcepts new hex adapter at the rear. Precision machined and blue anodised aluminium features a clamping style design that combines durability and functionality.

Capricorn anti-vibration engine mount

Capricorn anti-vibration engine mount

Capricorn have introduced their new anti-vibration engine mount. Many hours of work and testing have led Capricorn to develop this new anti vibration system, specifically made for the brand new Lab C801. This patented system has been designed to work with any brand of engine available on the market and each engine will need a specific engine mount with a dedicated mass damper. The purpose of this device is to dampen the alternate movement of the piston with a specific counter balance weight. The calibrated weight, that is located in a cavity between two dampening materials, reduce the vibration made by the engine which is normally transferred to the engine mount and then to the chassis. No word on a release date.
