JConcepts 2.2″ Stadium Truck Octagons

JConcepts have introduced their semi slick Octagons thread for stadium truck. Available in gold, green and black compound, the carcass is new, slightly lower profile than JConcepts slick tires of the past and incorporates heavy X-pattern style inner ribbing for increased support. The continuous thickness carcass is lightweight and utilises the industry standard 2.2” mounting bead. Like the name suggests, the embossed tread which is Octagon shaped is repeated and overlapped to form a subculture of grippy surface edges for dry or abrasive surfaces.

Muchmore Fleta Pro V2 1S ESC

New from Muchmore is their 1S Fleta Pro V2 ESC. As the name suggests this speedo is suitable for use with 1S batteries and therefore aimed at 1/12th scale use. Made using a full aluminium case for better heat dissipation and therefore able to have higher current, its internal switch makes the wiring simpler as it removes the need for an external switch. A very small footprint (30.5 x 36.5 x 16.5mm) allows more options for its placement thus making balancing your car easier.
