STRC Enduro aluminium bumper options

As the Element RC Enduro trail truck series continues to gain popularity and become a serious contender in the scale crawler segment, ST Racing Concepts is keeping the option parts coming to allow hobbyists to continue customising their rig. First up made for everyone looking to have a cage-style body setup for the rear of the Enduro, STRC bring a CNC machined aluminium rear bumper eliminator brace that gives the Enduro a clean look while providing more strength and rigidity to the rear part of the chassis rails. Also new is a CNC machined heavy duty aluminium front bumper mount that offers the right amount of durability and looks for the front end of the Enduro while not adding too much extra weight to the higher parts of the rig. Both parts are available in black, gun metal, limited edition red, and silver anodising.

JConcepts L8 Night 10” wide late model body shell

JConcepts have introduced their new L8 Night 10” wide late model dirt oval body shell. The 10” wide body capable of a drop-fit on an assortment of Late Model chassis, the body styling starts up front with a heavily dropped nose pointing the vehicle in the correct direction. Super tall power rails line the front fenders allowing corner tracking stability. Offset cab positioned for high-speed left turning with recessed front, side and rear windows, and dual ribs on the roof strengthen the top of the shell. The flat rear deck incorporates indented channels promoting flow upward to the large rear spoiler and side-dams. The innovative side-panels of the body feature recessed sections, this accomplishes a multitude of design goals in the process. First, the side pockets increase the rigidness of the panel giving one of the highest aero elements of the body stability at speed and in risky manoeuvring situations. Increased resiliency also works to minimise body tucking and helps maintain a healthy distance from wheel well to tyre. Centred in the bonnet, a protection shroud for the mock air cleaner chiseled into the hood of the new body looks very “Late Model”. Included in each package, the pre-trimmed rear spoiler with hardware is one of the most trick items on the market. The slotted side-dams are ready to go and feature an adjustment section of 3 positions for the rear spoiler angle. The rear spoiler is cut, bent and ready to position on the back of the body with the included 9 pieces of light-weight hardware. As with all JConcepts body shells, the set includes clear body, window mask, instruction sheet and decal sheet.

T-Works have announced the release of a titanium shock standoff set for the Tekno RC NB48 2.0 buggy. Machined from high-quality 64-grade titanium the shock mounts offer a lower weight than the standard steel standoffs while being less prone to corrosion at the same time. Due to the lower weight of the standoffs, the buggy‘s centre of gravity will be lowered which can be beneficial especially in high-grip track conditions. The set includes four standoffs and it is available now.
