JConcepts pre trimmed high-clearance wings

Two new High-Clearance wings available pre-trimmed has been developed and manufactured by JConcepts Inc. The 6.5” and 7” wide HCW incorporates a short-chord design for quick rotation and a flat-base which provides more tire clearance. As the carpet, Astroturf, and high-traction dirt conditions become more prevalent, racers have asked for specific 6.5” & 7”rear wings. The durable and pre-trimmed design has chopped rear corners for rigidity plus a traditional lower-level gurney that is achievable for even less drag over large jumps. The side-dams of the wing feature hard radius cut-outs which allow even more tire rear expansion and flex space. JConcepts designers Paul Wynn and Fred Reep added dual stability fangs which also help boost the front to rear structure. The rear of the wing still maintains a high-angle to vertical rear dam to give drivers a straight-forward layout suited to high-speed circuits. The HCW is a direct bolt-on piece for most 1/10th buggies and includes one pre-trimmed wing per package.

Xray have presented their new for 2022 XB4 1/10th electric 4wd buggy. Featuring a new chassis layout with centre slipper/diff, motor and battery moved significantly forward makes the car faster and easier to drive on any surface. It sports a unique one-way centre slipper with precisely adjustable slipper for more forward traction, less diving under braking and easier landings.

Sporting centre dogbones for better performance and less maintenance, their new front & rear diff outdrives with inner O-rings help eliminate damage in high impacts. There is also a redesigned servo holder and shorter radio plate that is fitted directly on chassis so it has no negative effect on chassis flex. The new aluminium centre bulkhead is designed to fit the new one-way centre slipper (carpet version) and the arm lengths for both carpet and dirt versions have been standardised with both kits coming with short length hard front arms and long hard rear arms in the hard composite. There is a new front graphite chassis T-Brace (carpet edition) to increase front stability on high traction tracks, making the car more predictable and easier to drive. The T-Brace is mounted via included aluminium posts to the chassis and to the front lower brace. And finally there is different centre upper top decks included in the Carpet and Dirt versions due to the dimensions of the one-way slipper vs gear diff
