Think RC MTC1.e carbon fibre top deck & servo plates

Think RC have introduced new option parts for their MTC1.e conversion kit in the form of a thinner top deck and new upper servo plates. Starting with the top deck, the part is a thinner version of the updated top deck included with the TH-502 chassis conversion kit. Made from quality 1.6mm carbon fibre the upper deck is ideal for low traction conditions, or when used with the aluminium flex chassis on ETS-style carpet. Also new is the servo mount plate made from 2.5mm thick carbon fibre for increased stiffness. This servo mount plate matches the steering post positions on the chassis plate included in the TH-502 Chassis conversion kit. To run the A2309 steering collars with the conversion kit, owners need this part. The second option plate is a simplified version, removing the floating steering option for a clean and simple look to the chassis. Also made from quality 2.5mm thick carbon fibre to improve the rigidity of the mounting.

Protoform Vulcan wide Pro10 body shell

Coming soon from Protoform is their all-new Vulcan body shell for wide Pro10 pan cars. Taking the successful Swift-235 body as a base, the Vulcan sports new features and extra clearance to allow the use with “wide” 235mm chassis. The body takes some aero inspiration from its larger cousin, the world-championship winning R19. A large centre fin was added for increased high-speed stability on larger outdoor tracks, while the sculpted side panels increase side bite. To tune aero balance, an add-on adjustable gurney flap is included, and recessed areas at the top of the side dams will allow for flush-fitting optional vertical side dam extensions. Measuring 227mm across the front and 239mm across the rear, the Vulcan’s wide track width and long rear side panels are sure to fit nearly any Pro10 chassis around the world, while two heights of trim lines are inscribed for different sizes of tyres.

JConcepts RC8B3.1 Silencer body shell

First developed for the 2012 IFMAR World Championships, JConcepts’ Silencer body has been a mainstay in the JC’s product line which is available for a number of difference vehicles in the market with the latest being the Team Associated RC8B3.1. For the precise fit, the design has undergone changes to match the RC8B.1 chassis side-guards and body mount positioning. The Silencer stance cockpit allows ample fuel tank access, a smoother high-speed windshield transition and increased flow around the engine heat-sink. A deep recess around the engine compartment with dual channeling out the rear provides air escape along with rear-end stability. The Silencer side-pods have a clipped rear-end, narrowing the rear by angling just in front of the rear tyres. The extended runner features are placed on the rear-end of the body enhancing the force placed on the rear pods during high-speed acceleration. The main pods are heavily chamfered and a more heat-shrink design over the pipe, fuel tank and electrical / linkage make up the main pods. The body is capped off with a cockpit shark fin for more high-speed tracking stability and increased roof stiffness and it comes including window masks and a decal sheet.

Yokomo YZ-2T 2WD racing truck kit

Based on the IFMAR World Championship winning YZ-2 platform comes Yokomo’s all-new YZ-2T 1/10th scale 2WD competition racing truck kit. The truck utilises a long wheelbase chassis machined from high-grade aluminium while wide track suspension components and high-capacity big bore shock absorbers soak up any surface imperfections, ensuring optimised jumping, landing and handling characteristics in a wide range of track conditions. Newly developed carbon fibre Ackermann steering plates ensure optimised steering characteristics in combination with the wide track front suspension. The centre of the chassis sees a new battery hold down system for swift and easy battery swaps while also allowing to shift the battery forth and back by about 40mm. Additionally a new electronic mounting tray helps to provide a solid base for the receiver and speed controller, all while allowing for easy removal for cleaning or maintenance purposes. In the rear the YZ-2T features a new laydown 3-gear transmission that is ideal for all high-traction surfaces such as clay, astro turf and carpet and it comes equipped with a single style slipper clutch that can be converted to a dual style clutch using separately available option parts. The transmission is rounded out by a standard ball differential and the ability to adjust the diff height in a 3mm range in order to adapt the truck to different traction levels. Last but not least come newly designed lower shock mounts for more precise adjustments, alloy suspension mounts with inserts and a JConcepts F2 body shell that provides an aggressive look with hi-downforce features resulting in increased steering and traction.
