Exotek TLR22 battery hold system

Exotek have released this new battery hold system for the TLR22, 22T and 22SCT. Easy adjust twist nut and strap system for perfect battery retention which attaches to a heavy duty machined alloy battery tray. The battery tray has 2 stock bolt locations but then a 3rd location is added at the front which allows you to mount it even closer to the battery (in rear motor configuration). The tray offers a perfect tighter fit around current 7.4v full packs and shorty packs although not for use with saddle packs. The entire battery hold set weighs only 15 grams.

Reedy 4600mAh 55C 14.8V LiPo battery

Tested and developed by the championship-winning factory team drivers, Reedy’s new 4600mAh 55C 14.8V LiPo battery is a must-have for the hardcore 1:8 buggy racer who seeks maximum power output and run time in a compact package. The battery’s weight makes it easier to achieve perfect left/right weight distribution while 5mm power sockets offer the same convenience and low-resistance operation that 1:10 and 1:12 drivers have enjoyed for years. A durable hard case protects the battery from damage while three 2mm balance ports allow for balance charging using the included balance charge harness. Two 5mm sockets are also included.

JQ Products THEeCar 1/8th EP buggy

JQ Products are close to releasing the car they said they would never make, THEeCar 1/8th electric off-road buggy. In shops for pre order the car is based on their Yellow Edition gas counterpart with some dedicated parts to cater for the cars electronics. There is an all new EP specific weight optimised main chassis which sees the 4S battery mounted to the front left of the car in front of the speedo, while on the right side the motor is mounted very far back in the car, in a new adjustable motor mount, along with the centre diff which because of this positioning drives a very short rear centre shaft and a very long front centre shaft. The servo and receiver are mounted at the front right of the car completing the electronics layout. We can expect full information on the car in the near future.

The lower frequency springs also land better allowing for a mellow rebound as the car settles quicker and more consistently.

JConcepts Associated front axles for 12mm hex

One of the best upgrades you can make to the Team Associated line of vehicles is a conversion to 12mm hex wheels. JConcepts has been on top of this conversion since its introduction with hex adapters and Mono wheels. A critical point of the conversion revolves around the front axle and surrounding geometry. Within the steering block the space is very tight and especially between the 2 front bearings where the front axles rests between the bearing bores in 1 plane and the king pin in the perpendicular plane. The JConcepts front axle design is based around high-grade titanium construction, an outer bearing crush step and an inner 4-40 locknut for security. The design eliminates c-clips, screws and other items which are hard to detect of issues which limit performance. Available or the B4.2, T4.2 and SC10, this free spinning design includes axles, 4-40 mini lock-nuts, thin axle shims, decal and assembly instructions.
