GL Racing GLA V2 micro racing car

Coming from GL Racing is their new GLA V2 micro racing car kit. Fitting 1/27th and 1/28th scale classes the GLA V2 builds on the popular V1 and features a re-designed layout of the bottom chassis plate that now has all holes and screws located along the centre line of chassis which will reduce tweak and maximise flex. Also new are the redesigned servo and battery mount to fit the new chassis, while wider rear lower suspension arms and camber links to improve the rear stability of the car by changing the suspension geometry. A newly designed motor mount makes gear mesh adjustment more easy and precise and included with the car also come a servo saver as well as front and rear carbon shock towers. Other features include the efficient Hobbywing micro brushless ESC, a fast and durable servo, four-wheel double arm suspension system with friction grease dampers, as well as a smooth shaft driven transmission and ASC compatibility. Coming soon is also a 90mm and 94mm wheelbase conversion kit.

T-Works MBX8/7 quick change engine mount

T-Works have introduced their new quick change engine mount set for the Mugen MBX8 and MBX7 buggies. The set contains a 1-piece base as well as two engine blocks and the overall design allows to keep the base in the car while detaching the engine by only undoing the blocks/base screws. As the gear mesh is adjusted sliding the engine on the blocks, it can be installed and released without any hassle as the engine/blocks assembly slides right into place without the need for gear mesh adjustments. The assembly is available as a complete set but the base and engine blocks are also available separately and including the needed hardware.

JConcepts B6.1 series Aero rear diffusor

Coming from JConcepts is their new Aero rear diffusor for the Team Associated B6.1 series vehicles. A rear diffuser is a huge part of full-scale race car aerodynamic grip which has shown to improve performance. In off-road racing, ride-height, ground clearance and suspension travel substantially affect handling and are routinely adjusted to benefit one section of the track or another. It is difficult to install low-mounted aerodynamic features because of the general abuse off-road vehicles endure, however, JConcepts has taken on the task to mount another aero option. For the all-important balance between flat track tuning and elevation off-road features, JC has moved the diffuser into a higher position. The position, although not traditional, still provides affects of aerodynamics without limiting rear clearance. The item includes two pieces and can be fitted easily to popular vehicles like the B6.1, T6.1 and SC6.1. The aerodynamic device uses the same 3mm hardware as the rear ball-stud mount and it installs on top and is secure with the same screws.

Capricorn C8SR side-by-side battery conversion

Capricorn have introduced a new side-by-side battery conversion for the C8SR 1/8th scale stock pan car. The kit allows to run two standard-size battery packs side-by-side, replacing the kit’s stand-up brick position while the speed controller will be moved to the upper area in front of the motor. The result is an optimised weight balance and better heat dissipation of the batteries which will greatly improve life span.

Leadfinger Racing A2 Tactic MP9 TKI4 body shell

Now available from Leadfinger Racing is the newly updated A2 Tactic body for the Kyosho Inferno TKI4 nitro buggy. The A2 body design for the MP9 TKI4 is the second generation to the original Assassin. Track conditions can have a drastic change over long race weekends, making the A2 the perfect choice for added tuning as the sleek and aggressive styling gives an all around balanced feel.The windshield has been given less rake then that of the original Assassin, easing steering slightly. Additional height has been taken out of the cab and widened front to rear, helping to lower the centre of gravity, and giving the car a more planted feel. The rear swoop behind the cab has also been lowered, with additional down force added to the top of the side pods. Bump outs have been added for throttle linkage and fuel tank clearance. The A2 body for the Kyosho TKI4 is made of thicker lexan, comes clear and ready for paint with window masks and stickers provided.
