Vision Racing Products N1 Performance Kit

Texas-based R/C design and manufacturing company Vision Racing Products (VRP) has released a new 2025 Performance Kit for the Agama N1 1:8 Buggy called the VRP NV.  The new performance kit completely redesigns the geometry into an even lower centre of gravity buggy.  It also simplifies and reduces weight as well.  The new configuration is needed for American style tracks, but will excel on EU tracks just the same.  In addition to keeping the lowest CG available, VRP have worked hard to make the best jumping and landing buggy too.  One very noticeable difference is the amount of grip the NV makes.  In most cases to date, VRP claim they have had the most grip of any buggy, while maintaining good turn in and cornering.  The NV does not labor in the turns due to the shocks being high like traditional buggies, and it shows.  The VRP Performance Kit offers the opportunity to have a different and unique buggy for 2025.

JConcepts RC10GT rear shock tower

The most classic nitro stadium truck design in RC history, JConcepts has released a Carbon Fibre Rear Shock Tower option for the Team Associated RC10GT.  The stock vehicle comes standard with a fiberglass unit which carries all the original geometry; however, it lacks the pizzazz, strength, optional holes and appearance that 3.0mm Carbon Fibre can provide.  The new rear shock tower includes the Factory Team Truck geometry as well as the original for the best handling characteristics from that era.  The tower includes detailed reinforced areas adding strength in key areas as well as the improvement in material creates a more rigid feel, increasing the response in the rear-end.
