JConcepts Punisher for Losi 8ight

New from JConcepts for the Losi 8ight, the radical new Punisher body stares you down like a trained fighter. 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 drivability, corner speed and jump control. The rear base of the cab area represents the latest offering for 1/8th buggy racing featuring a super low profile design for increased engine cooling, air flow and escape.

Exotek EX05 Tamiya TA-05 LiPo chassis

Exotek have released the EX05, a high performance multi adjustment LiPo chassis for the Tamiya TA-05 bringing you pro level design features that would rival any top touring car. The EX05 chassis is designed and tested to equalize lateral flex, meaning no more inconsistent flex problems caused by 6 large battery cut outs like in the stock chassis making for much more predictable handling. Created using 2.3mm thick USA made quasi weave carbon fibre for the top and bottom plates, it is stiff yet ultra lightweight. The chassis has also been narrowed for less chassis scrub through corners for better corner speed and handling. The set includes a CF battery strap and alloy posts as well as polished anodized steering posts, spacers, long stand offs and motor mount posts.

Litemodz Constant Velocity Driveshaft

Litemodz Constant Velocity Driveshaft

Litemodz were in touch to tell us that testing has begun on their latest ‘revolutionary product’, the all new constant velocity driveshaft. The benefits of this system is that it eliminates torque and speed fluctuations of the joint which currently manifests itself in wheel chatter. Theoretically by maintaining shaft speed at any given articulated angle this should potentially result in improved steering and wheel response. This CVD may be fitted to all existing model cars without modification. A release date has not been given but it is hoped to be soon.
