RC Project S35-4 & D819 shock cap & membrane sets

Similar in design to the recently release ONG RC8B3.2 shock caps, RC Project have released shock caps for the Sworkz S35-4 & S35-3 and also for the HB Racing D819RS, D819 & D817. The 6 upper machined pockets on the cap have a dual purpose, reducing the weight of the cap, making it the lightest on the market as well as helping with heat dissipation. The 3 bleed holes coupled to the new membranes will allow a rebound close to 0 and a homogeneous response between the shock absorbers once closed. For the HB specific shock caps, the new geometry allows a front droop up to 107 mm in order to adapt the set-up according to the type of track with the caps mounting on the shock tower without any modification. Both kits include 12 membranes with 3 different hardnesses that will allow you to vary the behaviour of the shock absorber based on the track, the driving style and temperature.

Element RC Enduro Gatekeeper Buggy RTR rock crawler

Element RC have released a RTR version of their Enduro Gatekeeper Buggy rock crawler. Previously only available as a kit, it now comes in two different RTR sets, both with brushless electronics, transmitter and receiver, while only the LiPo combo comes with charger and battery pack. Packed full of performance features the Gatekeeper Suspension 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 GK more reliable and responsive steering without the flex. The shock mount inserts with multiple mounting positions allow for precise suspension tuning, whether it’s moving the shocks up, down, forward, or back.

JConcepts RC10 standard front axles

JConcepts continue with their vintage car part releases and one part that brings the originality of the RC10, RC10B2, and RC10B3 together is the original length front axle. While using the stock offset front wheel, having the standard length axle contributes to the original stance and performance of the iconic vehicles. JConcepts has re-created these parts in 7075 aluminium, anodised black, threaded on the outside for the original style nylon wheel nut and in addition, threaded inside for 4-40 set screws (not included).

JConcepts RC10 Mono wheels

JConcepts supports the vintage RC enthusiast with the release of new Mono wheels. The original offset front and rear wheels for the RC10, RC10B2 and RC10B3 have been highly sought-after for years by drivers looking to outfit a restoration project or racers actively racing their vehicles. The 2.2” Mono wheels are inspired by the originals, feature the iconic dish shape with the rear wheels utilising the pin drive setup for 3/16” axles while the fronts accept a non-flanged 3/16 x 3/8” bearing. JConcepts has taken the liberty of increasing the wheel width to the inside in order to accommodate today’s race tires. The wheels include a vent hole on the outer diameter and an added outer “catch” to reduce the ability for glue to run down the face of the wheel during application and curing. Mono wheels are available in bright white and fluorescent racing yellow and packaged 4 pieces per pack.
