Muchmore now have a 3D cooling fan guard for 30mm fan units available. Developed with the help of 3-times World Champion Marc Rheinard the CNC-machined aluminium part weighs in at only 1.9g to not interfere with the weight distribution of the car while allowing exceptional fan protection and additional cooling surface at the same time. Four aluminium screws help to connect the speed controller’s heatsink with the fan guard which is meant to reduce the operation temperature by up to 8 percent. The guard fit’s Muchmore’s Fleta line of speed controllers and many other speedos with 30mm fan units.

Exotek TLR 22 alloy motor plate & front camber block

Exotek have two new aluminium option parts available for TLR’s 22 line of vehicles. First up is the Flite motor plate, a fully CNC-machined part that is of a vented design to keep the motor running cooler and longer for that extra edge. Aggressive cut outs allows the heat that builds up inside the gear cover to vent out thus lowering overall motor temps greatly. The extra machining reduces the weight down to 14.5 grams, making it 6 grams lighter than stock, but the critical motor mounting areas are still intact to maintain solid motor mounting and gear mesh. The is intended for the use on indoor clay or carpet tracks, it comes laser etched, polished and anodised in gun metal or limited yellow colour.

JConcepts Dirt Webs 1/8th buggy tyres

JConcepts’ Dirt Webs tyre is now also available in an 1/8th buggy variant. Developed by Brian Kinwald and Jason Ruona the indoor-specific tyre has already proven its performance in 1/10th buggy racing and now the clay tread is also available for the 1/8th class. Originally based on the popular Pressure Points, the tyre design connects uniformly positioned Web-Bars to create an amazingly stable tyre. During 2014, the design was converted to use on a 1/8th buggy carcass and debuted during the 1/8th E-buggy ROAR Nationals in Houston, Texas. The Dirt Web tread sits on the proven JConcepts 1/8th tyre carcass giving a low-profile, wide-body appearance allowing clipped tread to extend all the way to the outer edges. The carefully shaped profile allows a great balance of monster forward traction and comfortable side-bite. Available in multiple compounds and including closed cell inserts, the Dirt Webs can easily be matched to any track conditions ranging from indoor clay, indoor dirt to outdoor hard-packed or treated clay or dirt.
