JConcepts 0 Offset Alu Clamping Servo Horn

New from JConcepts comes this 0 Offset Aluminium Clamping Servo Horn. The 0 off-set nature of this design works in conjunction with the #5209 JConcepts steering kit and in particular the alternate pick-up point on the JConcepts bell cranks matches this new servo horn and provides a proper alignment. The broad base of the horn tapers to the connection area where the steering takes place. The boss on top surrounds the ball-end and provides a hefty surface for steering direction. Small ribs have been added on the sides to help strengthen the unit in a twisting fashion and a deep pocket hides the 3mm standard mounting screw. The entire horn has been retouched with chamfer highlight edging and laser etched with JC and the tooth count for high-end looks and authenticity. Available in black anodising, the 16.5mm clamping servo horn is great for vehicles such as the RC10B7 using the #5209 steering kit and others which require the same height.

JConcepts Illuzion 7.0″ Monster Wing w/ Centre Divider

New from JConcepts comes this Illuzion 7.0″ Monster Wing with Center Divider for 1:10 Offroad Buggy. The Florida company has championed the large 7” Illuzion style wing since early 2000’s and used it with several model bodies over the years. Originally released in 2005, the Illuzion 7” wing was used by Spencer Rivkin to win the 2019 IFMAR World Championship in 2WD Buggy along with the JConcepts centre divider. Combining these items has been quite routine over the years when racers are looking for additional rear grip and drag. 20 years later, JConcepts has revived this design, added a few exclusive new features, and added the centre divider into the same base molded feature. The broad base, the ability to run a long chord length, and updated clearance allows the rear tires to blend nicely with the traditional V-shaped figure. The item arrives un-trimmed so the user can adjust sizing to the regulated rules to get maximum performance out of the package. The divider can also be trimmed to specification and drops right down and maintains the same look and profile as the monster wing itself.
