LMR have introduced their new Slider carbon fibre “twister type” ride height gauge tool. Running lower ride heights with 1/10th scale buggies and trying to slide a ride height gauge underneath and backwards and forwards can often cause issues when fingers get in the way, bumping into the car while trying to set the ride height. The carbon fibre slider increases precision and makes checking ride height far easier as it takes a twister-type ride height gauge that can easily be slid under the chassis plate while checking and adjusting front and rear ride height.

The part is machined from high-quality 7075-T6 aluminium, it comes black anodised and with light green edge details.

Made to apply tyre sauces or cleaning agents is JConcepts’ new liquid application brush. The purpose-designed brush is a simple and effective way to apply cleaners, refreshers and additives to RC tyres.

In addition, the JConcepts-branded handle has been lightened during the design process with heavy pocketing for the most racy look, feel and performance. The resilient, durable and wide footprint bristles are long lasting, standing up to even the most extreme racer abuse on a consistent basis while also being used as a clean-up or scrub brush.
