JConcepts AX10 / SMT10 transmission motor plate

JConcepts has rolled out a sweet looking replacement motor plate for the Axial SMT10, AX10, SCX10 and Wraith vehicles, or similar models equipped with the AXI30491 motor plate. With the evolution of racetracks, high flying jumps are becoming the normal obstacle and it is inevitable that a driver will have a miscue and challenge the durability of the vehicle. Looking at the typical construction of the second operation processes on standard motor plates, it easy to see why bending is sometimes an issue. The design team at JConcepts has incorporated a honeycomb milling affect with placement more suited to surrounding geometry making the plate lightweight and very rigid in multiple directions. The honeycomb features add a 3D look featuring the natural aluminium while the rest is black anodised. Slight chamfering on the 3mm thickness material allows the rather beefy plate to look slim and trim.

JConcepts B6.2 steel front bulkhead

New for the Associated B6.2 comes this steel front bulkhead from JConcepts. A weighty item that is routinely punished is the front-bulkhead on the B6 line of vehicles. While brass material produces a lot of weight it tends to be a little soft as racers bump and grind pipes, jumps and obstacles during a normal outing. With encouragement from Paul Wynn, JConcepts has designed the all-steel front bulkhead to help maintain weight but also significantly improve durability. The steel design helps outlast the brass counterparts and packs the same reversible design for either 25 or 30 degrees of kick-up. The bulkhead has a marked weight (28 grams) and includes the 4 standard countersunk screw pockets and 3mm setscrew offering to pin the hinge pins into place.

Frehner does double at Rd3 of Swiss EP Offroad Nats

Last weekend the EOCD club of Dielsdorf hosted Rd3 of the Swiss Nationals in 1/10th Offroad Buggy. The nicely prepared dirt-track demanded everything from the drivers in terms of setup. In the 2WD class it was Florian Schmid (Xray) that took the top spot ahead of Kay Frehner (Associated) in 2nd however in the mains the positions were reversed as Kay could get out in front and withstand the pressure of brothers Florian and Nico Schmid to take the overall win. In the 4wd class Kay Frehner (Associated) would secure pole position ahead of Florian Schmid (Xray) and could convert his TQ into a win by easily taking the first two mains. Fabian Widmer (Associated) would come through to win the final A-main to secure the runner up spot while Florian Schmid would have to settle for 3rd. In the Truck class, top qualifier Stefan Sidler (Associated) won the race to secure the Swiss title.
