Senesi Motorsport S21 GT Low Profile Shock Tower Kit

Senesi Motorsport, the brand of reigning EFRA 1:8 GT European Champion Natanaele Senesi, has released this Low Profile Shock Tower Kit for their signature S21 1:8 GT chassis. With the kit including low profile front and rear shock tower plus four low profile spring supports, the aim of the kit is to lower the shock position by -7mm in the front and -10mm in the rear. The result is not only a lower centre of gravity but also a more stable and direct car in high grip conditions. A direct replacement fit for the S21 GT and GTE, the kit can also be used on the Xray GTX8 and GTXE platforms.

Aerox Bat-Safe box

Aerox, the accessories brand from Schumacher, has released this Bat-Safe for the charging & storage of LiPo batteries. LiPos can be dangerous and the Bat-Safe provides the safest experience whether it will be storing, transporting or most importantly charging. Highly recommending all LiPo batteries should be charged and stored in a Bat-Safe box and not a LiPo bag, Schumacher Racing are no longer selling LiPo Bags as they don’t believe they offer adequate LiPo fire protection. The Aerox Bat-Safe is a double-walled insulated steel box with a flame arrestor. Any battery within the specifications will not be a fire hazard if charged or stored inside it and in case of a fire, the smoke and soot is also filtered by the flame arrestor.

JConcepts Dirt Trac Mini 1:16 Tire

New from JConcepts comes the introduction of the mini 1:16 option of their Dirt Trac tires specifically designed for dirt oval applications. The Dirt Trac Mini features an arrangement of patterned blocks cut and sliced for delicate but proven performance. The orientation and make-up of the Dirt Trac tread is very traditional but sized appropriately and produced in a super soft compound to do a lot of the work. The large blocks resist wear, add forward bite and the spacing allows for a freer vehicle in tight and open oval track conditions. The front features an arrangement of patterned blocks cut and sliced for delicate but proven performance in a V-pattern. The Dirt Trac Mini tires fit the Mini-T 2.0 wheels or the Losi larger diameter rear wheel and Losi standard front wheel. Also available as pre-mounted on JC wheels in bright white or fluorescent yellow.
