All Mod Air filter

All Mod, the optional parts brand from MID in Germany, have added two new items to their current product line up. First up, which you can see above, is this grey anodised aluminium air filter carrier for .21 and .28 off road engines which claims to allow 40% more air into the engine, while not compromising the filtering process. Also from All Mod are some new capped wheel nuts that are suitable for all off road axles with a 17mm thread.

Parma have announced the release of their new Pro 53 touring car foam tires, mounted on all new wheels that have been designed to meet new ROAR rules that allow an increase in the minimum inner diameter of the wheel to 53mm. The new wheel is a larger, dish style design that has superior strength with a lower profile rubber sidewall producing less flex with a stiffer, more stable driving feel.

Darkside Motorsports Oval Set-up Wheels

Darkside Motorsports Oval Set-up Wheels

Darkside Motorsports have announced that they are selling their 1/10th scale Oval Setup wheels, which like the Team Tamale wheels, offer the option of adjusting the virtual tire diameter by rotating the Octagonal wheel to the specified measurement.

They simulate eight different tire diameters from 2.31″ to 2.10″.  Use these wheels to measure and adjust chassis ride height, track width, wheel offsets and stagger.  When matched with a set of tweak scales, weight distribution can also be simulated and slight changes can be modeled with ease.  The wheels are matched such that wheelbase dimensions can also be easily measured.  Simply put, they provide a foundation for repeatable measurements and set-ups.  Each set comes with 2 front wheels, 2 rear wheels and a re-usable storage case.

JConcepts Illuzion buggy wing - Black

A few months ago JConcepts released their effective and really cool looking Illuzion buggy wing and at that time it was only available in white and yellow. Today they announced that this wing will now be available in black, and just to recap about the product itself, it is designed for both 1/8th buggies and truggies and features durable through-rib design and recessed side dams for extra decal protection.

JConcepts also released some Ball Cup sets which are designed to fit all 1/10th scale off-road vehicles and come in black, white and yellow. Designed with performance as well as aesthetics in mind these newly designed low-profile ball cups have been designed for extra durability and added ‘wheel to tie-rod’ clearance. The set comes with 4 left and 4 right low profile ball cups, as well as 12 normal ball cups, included per package.
