JConcepts F2I 1:8 Buggy/Truck Wing

JConcepts has released their new F2l 1:8 Buggy/Truck wing.  With their drivers routinely searching for the ultimate aero package on the 1:8 off-road scene, JConcepts is directly on top of the latest trends with the release of the F2I rear wing. F2I relates to Finnisher related items morphing into a 2nd generation and this new wing fits the bill perfectly.

JConcepts S15 TLR 8ight-X 2.0/XE body

JConcepts have announced the release of their S15 body shell for the TLR 8ight-X 2.0/XE. When the World Championship arrives, it’s important to be prepared with new items to fine tune the racing package at the largest event in the world. JConcepts arrived with a fresh lid for the TLR 8ight-X 2.0 vehicle used in competition by top pilot Dakotah Phend. The S15 packs a lot of performance into a stylish package consistent with vehicle upgrades and performance aero enhancements recently made on the racing circuit. The S15 blends performance features on the popular Silencer body with new features such as mid-body winglets and rear stabiliser kick-up. The roof of the body remains strong with the upper fin in position for stability and tracking ability. The engine area remains clean, and a deep-rooted position allows the engine head maximum side exposure to air and escape. The front and rear body mount area is cleanly designed and allows for a drop-fit on the TLR 8ight-X 2.0 and XE models. For the precise fit, the design has undergone changes to match the TLR chassis side-guards and body mount positioning. The S15 stance cockpit allows ample fuel tank access, a smoother high-speed windshield transition which tackles even the most high-speed conditions. The hard-edged chamfering provides the classic JConcepts look while also delivering aero benefits and perfect decal positioning. Each S15 body receives window mask, decal sheet and is backed with JConcepts customer support and racing heritage.

Avid Ringer Bullet Plug Grips

Avid Racing Concepts have released these Ringer Bullet Plug Grips. Bullet grips have been around for a few years now and Avid figured it was time for them to put their take on these handy parts. First, they ergonomically shaped them to allow for a bit more grip when pulling them out. With a preference for the full stealth look, they did both of the grips in black with positive (+) and negative (-) laser etched on the base of each and included black and red shrink tubing that you can add to your wire for immediate notification. Last but not least they added their Ringer design to these by adding 5 silver highlight rings, one of which is inside the grip which makes these items sparkle like no other.

JConcepts Smoothie 2 Silver compound Pre-mounted

JConcepts has release a new slick offroad tyre, the Smoothie 2.  In some conditions in offroad racing, there is no denying that a slick tyre is the fastest way around the track. 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, now, JConcepts has the Smoothie 2. Available as pre-mounted, the Smoothie 2 is glued to the genuine 3348 JConcepts wheel and available in either bright white or fluorescent yellow colours.

Leadfinger Racing ‘Beretta’ Inferno MP10 Bodyshell

Following the release of the ‘Beretta’ bodyshell for the Associated RC8 B4 last week, Leadfinger Racing has just released a version of the body Kyosho’s Inferno MP10. With the continued popularity of the newest release of the Kyosho Inferno MP10, there has been growing requests from LFR customer to offer a second body option. Originally designed to bring a fresh look to the 1:8 scene, the ‘Beretta’ was the perfect choice. In testing on the MP10, the Beretta gave the car tighter corner entry and exit,  jumped more level in the air, planted itself quicker on landings and gave the car an overall more balanced feel. The body works excellent on both loose and hard packed surfaces. To tie everything together they have added a steeper rake to the windshield while combining both stability and downforce to the roof. The top of the side pods have been equipped with our signature air dams that add functionality and style. On the back the body we molded in tighter shaped ailerons. This combined with a seamless rear fin tops it off for the perfect balanced body. The new Beretta body from Leadfinger Racing is the next generation of aggressive styling and performance.  Each body comes with clear overspray film and window masks for ease of painting. Leadfinger Racing stickers are also included.
