JConcepts aluminium 20mm clamping servo horns

New for the Mugen MBX8 & Team Associated RC8B3.2, this JConcepts 20mm servo horn is available in both 23T and 25T versions. A clamping style servo horn, it is great for high-torque situations providing additional security and relieving some load to the servo splines themselves. The broad base of the horn tapers to the connection area where the steering takes place. The boss on the top surrounds the ball-end and provides a hefty surface for steering direction. Small ribs have been added on the sides to help strengthen the unit in a twisting fashion and a deep pocket hides the 3mm standard mounting screw. The entire horn has been retouched with chamfer highlight edging and laser etched with JC and the tooth count for high-end looks and authenticity.

Pro-Line 1.9″ Trencher & 1.55″ Super Swamper tires

Two new additions from Pro-Line to their crawler range with the release of the 1.9″ Trencher crawler tire and Super Swamper tires for 1.55″ crawler wheels. The Trencher crawler tires are inspired by their very popular all-terrain Trencher tread, featuring an extremely aggressive tread pattern with each tread block containing multiple sipes and multiple levels for incredible tread flex while still looking great on a Scale Rig. The new Super Swamper tire is a first ever tire for 1.55″ size wheels from Pro-Line. With ‘almost scale’ not being acceptable and access to Interco’s design data, Pro-Line’s engineering staff has reproduced the original Super Swamper in a scale configuration matched by none. The new 3.85″ tall by 1.45″ wide Class 0 tire is perfect for those ultra-scale 1.55″ wheel rigs begging for matching scale tires combined with unmatched rock crawling performance.
