JConcepts rubber parts tray

JConcepts have introduced their new rubber parts tray. The tray provides a platform for organisation with its detailed design, divided pockets and steady base weight. The tray is precision-moulded in a rubber material which shows well in any pit area with the available blue and black colour options. The grippy nature of the rubber allows the parts to stay rooted where they are placed. The tray has six, built-in positions to place a differential for builds or fluid fills and can accommodate 1/10th and 1/8th sized assemblies. The iconic Dirt-Web tread pattern is raised into the surface of the largest cubicle and JConcepts.net logos blaze the outer perimeter.

Leadfinger Racing pre-cut Tactic 1/10th buggy rear wing

Leadfinger Racing have introduced their newly redesigned Tactic 1/10th off-road rear wing and stabiliser. The wing has a widened centre section to easily fit many popular platforms, and is specifically designed for a variety of today’s track surfaces; from indoor turf to outdoor clay. The vented design allows the wing to be left uncut for increased rear traction when needed; or can be cut out, allowing passing air to escape for higher traction conditions such as blue groove clay and turf tracks. When reaming multiple holes was the only option, the new performance enhancement of the Tactic wing allows for more precise tuning without the sacrifice of durability. Two pre-cut wings come per package.

RDRP B64 aluminium steering rack Type B

Revolution Design Racing Products have introduced their new aluminium steering rack Type B for the Team Associated B64 1/10th 4WD buggy. It is a direct replacement for the brittle standard composite part, machined from aircraft-grade 7075-T6 aluminium and it comes blue or black anodised. The increased overall rigidity will also help with steering emphasis, enhancing the steering feeling especially in high-bite track conditions. Compared to the standard AE or RDRP part, the optional Type B rack will make for improved steering feeling over the whole steering range without adding extra steering. RDRP’s team drivers comment: “The main feeling was that the steering has more feel. [And] half steering feels more like half steering”. The rack can be used with the standard or RDRP’s optional #0401 aluminium steering bellcrank set.
