Celebrating the great success of the P3TT Buggy engine, Picco have introduced the P3TT Limited edition engine. Restricted to 300 pieces only, they are supplied with all the technical tuning options such as DLC treated crankshaft, rear ceramic bearing, head button with silicone seal to prevent dust and vibration. This engine has been designed to improve throttle response and fuel economy and it features the new oval Venturi for exceptional power control on low grip tracks and in addition is supplied with standard round 7.0 and 7.5mm versions giving you the power you need for all grip conditions from very low to extremely high. The oval venturi offers a progressive opening: the surface of a horizontal ellipse evolving more gently than the round opening of regular restrictor. Thus, on a low traction track, the engine’s behaviour will improve the drivability fuel mileage.

Element RC Enduro Ecto Trail RTR truck

Aimed at the serious RC rock crawler enthusiast, the new Enduro Ecto Trail Truck RTR from Element RC is packed full of performance features that continue to impress. The Gatekeeper Suspension package (GKS). The GKS package consists of rear trailing arms that move the shocks forward, allowing a larger window for shock tuning and providing improved weight bias. The trailing arms are paired with a rear anti-roll bar for a more stable and consistent suspension when crawling on the rocks. An adjustable aluminium track bar mount firmly bolted to the chassis rail gives the Enduro Ecto more reliable and responsive steering without the flex. Our shock mount inserts with multiple mounting positions allow for precise suspension tuning, whether they’re moving the shocks up, down, forward, or back. The Enduro Ecto Trail Truck RTR isn’t just all about performance, it’s got looks, too. With inspired styling from competition off-road vehicles, the Enduro Ecto looks awesome tackling the terrain. The green Ecto Trail Truck body comes equipped with injection moulded mirrors, hinges, door handles, fuel cell, and roll bar with number plates. Also included is a detailed decal sheet with lots of extras to make the Ecto Trail Truck your own.

JConcepts Smoothie 2 1/10th buggy tire

In some conditions in off-road racing, there is no denying that a slick tire is the fastest way around the track. Throughout the racing calendar year, there are several tracks where slicks in silver compound are the go-to tire. Indoor and occasionally outdoor clay surfaces become so tacky or free of dust and debris that a total slick tire is an advantage. For years drivers have sanded, ground and hand sculpted tires in search of that elusive slick carcass for racing, now, JConcepts has the Smoothie 2. Released as a 2.2” bead mounting diameter, the JConcepts Smoothie 2 mount straight to the latest generation wheels for that all important reactive feel. The carefully profiled slightly thickened tire carcass rolls through the turns with efficiency while the maximum smooth surface area grips the specialty surfaces like no other. The Smoothies include Dirt-Tech inserts which have made an immediate presence on the racing scene since their release. The identifiable grey colour with custom sculpted features, are blended into the insert material which provide racers a durable option capable of being used in medium to extremely high-traction conditions.

RM2 MBX8 carbon rock guard & nose piece washer

JConcepts together with Ryan Maifield and ace mechanic Mike Truhe had a goal before the ROAR Fuel Nationals of creating a rock guard capable of resisting larger debris from getting into the drivetrain on the MBX8 line of vehicles. An ultra-thin carbon fibre plate has been created to position over the rear driveshaft and diff outdrive to block items from entering from the top of the vehicle. Another small addition from JConcepts and RM2 can help save a truck body nosepiece from abuse. The detailed design of the light-weight carbon fibre nose-piece washer works in conjunction with the JConcepts F2 body and helps support across the entire section of the mounting flange area. Included hardware makes assembly and fit a breeze and once completed, looks factory and as custom as it gets.
