JConcepts 8ight 4.0 S2 bodyshell

Made for TLR’s 8ight 4.0 buggy is JConcepts’s latest Silencer S2 bodyshell. Influenced by JC’s S2 1/10th buggy bodies the 1/8th scale variant sports a forward cab, low-profile stance with channeled roof and rear stabilizing fin. The front of the pods have a deep pocketed “force-bars” which have shown to channel some air in a much needed forward position while also providing a more rigid feel to the body. The low-profile side-pods whisk over the electrics and step where necessary, but its the rear wicker section that improves rear-end grip and tightens up the handling. The unique engine compartment adds some innovation to the design and the prefect resting place for the engine head. The channeling directs the air just along the engine and cooling head while still maintaining a very structured look. The clear body set includes window masks and a decal sheet and it is a direct fit to the 4.0.

RDRP Xray 1/10th Titanium Shock Mounts

Made for Xray’s line of 1/10th scale off-road vehicles are Revolution Design Racing Products’s new titanium shock mounts. The 1-piece mounts are a direct replacement for the kit’s steel parts and they greatly reduce the overall weight thanks to the lightweight titanium material. With the lower weight in one of the highest areas of the vehicles the parts also improve the handling especially in high-bite conditions while allowing for fast and convenient setup changes at the same time. The mounts come in sets of two and they are suitable for both the front and the rear shocks.
