RDRP Ultra brass shorty battery weight 30g

Revolution Design Racing Products’ new 30g Ultra brass shorty battery weight is machined from high-quality brass material and it comes in a black and golden finish for cool looks. The plate can be used in pretty much every vehicle that accepts shorty-style LiPo batteries and it comes in handy to fine-tune the weight distribution or to add weight when using lightweight low centre of gravity shorty packs. The plate also lowers the car’s overall centre of gravity for improved cornering performance on both low and high grip surfaces.

2018 JConcepts Indoor National Series – Announcement

JConcepts have announced the 2018 edition of their popular Indoor National Series. Now in its eighth year and with over 7,500 entries and counting, the JConcepts Indoor National Series has become the race for racers to showcase their driving skills on a national level while testing themselves against some of the industry’s best drivers. At the core, the INS remains unchanged, but is devoted to raising the standard for 2018 in terms of series participation, factory driver representation, and professionalism. The distinct 5-race series takes on the seasonal format of Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall Nationals races that will be held at fixed locations while the final race will serve as the ‘End of year bash’ and series championship presentation. For 2018, the Stadium and SCT classes have been simplified. To help bring new life to the events, the truck classes will be formatted around the 13.5 motor. Now, with Stadium and SCT classes available in a new power package, racers have fresh classes to race alongside the already popular 13.5 4WD class. In addition, the success of the Independent classes on the Super Cup Championship Series has driven JC to add this offering on the National Series. The Independent class, limited to 40 entries per event, is quite simply a 17.5 buggy class for drivers without sponsorships. Full details and all dates can be found here.
