JConcepts Pioneer 1:10 2WD buggy wheels

First debuted at the 2024 Florida Carpet Championships, JConcepts has officially released its Pioneer wheels for the modern 2WD buggy class. While looking at a 1989 Masami Hirosaka replica, Jason Ruona had a 3D vision of recreating an iconic variation. The pop-out panels of the Pioneer wheels add new looks in a positive direction while the home position remains for the proper offset, and mounting characteristics. Fresh outer ribs drop in between the sectional panels and a radial ring around the wheel nut area. The ribs connect the 4 screw location areas created to represent adaptors used during the golden age of RC. JConcepts offer titanium screws that work perfectly with these wheels, available separately, and in two different colours, burnt blue and stealth black. The dimensional aspect of the wheels matches the IFMAR World Championship winning Mono wheels, and they have an industry standard offset and are produced in durable material, inner reinforcing ribs and stout 12mm hex area pack this design. The 4 pack of wheels will be available in popular colours bright white, and fluorescent yellow, retro pink and stealth black.

KO Propo ‘EX-NEXT Basic’ Transmitter

With the 63rd Shizuoka Hobby Show taking place in Japan, radio manufacturer KO Propo is showcasing their new ‘EX-NEXT Basic’ transmitter. The XT adopted ‘EX-NEXT Basic’ model offers super fast response but by minimising the decoration of the main body KO Propo can offer the Japanese made radio at a more affordable price. With no changes to body specifications or features, you still get to use the performance of high end models. The ‘Basic’ is offered in two options, the XT and the new LDT (Lay Down Trigger) configuration. LDT is a new idea of laying down the trigger operation axis by 90 degrees. The feeling of being able to squeeze and press it effortlessly with your fingertips resting naturally. The ergonomic design that does not interfere with finger movement realises a seamless and linear operation feel throughout the entire stroke. It makes acceleration work and braking smoother and more enjoyable. The LDT makes you feel like your driving technique has improved by one or two ranks. This appearance, which also focuses on the quality of the operation feel, will take you to a new dimension. It can be adjusted to a range that even children’s fingers can reach. The ‘EX-NEXT Basic’ is due to start shipping in July.
