JConcepts MBX8 Fin titanium turnbuckle set

Made for the Mugen MBX8 buggy is JConcepts’ latest titanium turnbuckle set. The base of the turnbuckle design is centered on a beefy 5mm square titanium, for the camber and steering links, which gradually tapers down into a thread base design which accepts the rod ends featured in the kit. The focus of the styling surrounds the lengthened adjustment area and the finned cuts that rotate about the centre. Included is also a 3mm Fin titanium steering drag link for a complete look and finish to outfit the kit. The JConcepts turnbuckles are produced with left and right hand threads with the left being conveniently marked for easy orientation.

RC Belgium Cougar KC conversion kit

RC Belgium has introduced a new conversion kit for the Schumacher Cougar KC buggy. Designed to make the KC even more versatile, the kit features three new transmission positions: Position 1.5 utilises a 108T belt for high grip conditions, position 2.5 uses a 74T belt for high grip conditions and position 3.5 runs a 62T belt for medium grip. Position 1.5 and 2.5 are best used when grip is high to very high such as on carpet. Position 3.5 is ideal for medium grip astro. A 16T pulley removes the need for the idler gears and creates a new internal ratio of 1.875:1. The kit is compatible with a total of 52 different belts ranging from 62T to 114T while the same pair of topdecks is used for all the transmission positions. The chassis and topdeck design also makes it possible to fine-tune the motor position as well as the battery position. Optional LiPo straps are included to remove the side pods for additional flex characteristics.
