JConcepts RC8.2 Silencer body

Seen first at the Worlds in Argentina and then used to win this year’s DNC, JConcepts have finally released the the Silencer for the RC8.2, a brand-new, ground up design which has new elements created for the highest speed circuits. A narrowed, Finnisher stance cockpit allows more fuel tank access a smoother high-speed transition and increased flow around the engine heat-sink. A deep recess around the heat-sink area with dual channeling out the rear provides air escape along with rear-end stability, while the Silencer side-pods have a clipped rear-end, narrowing the rear by angling just in front of the rear tires. The extended runner features are placed on the rear-end of the body enhancing the force placed on the rear pods during high-speed acceleration. The main pods are heavily chamfered and a more heat-shrink design over the pipe, fuel tank and electrical / linkage make up the main pods. The end result has the body looking extremely low-profile with heavy JConcepts edginess and appeal. The Silencer is capped off with a cock-pit “shark fin” for more high-speed tracking stability and increased roof stiffness.

JConcepts TLR22 7″ Hi-Clearance rear wing

JConcepts TLR22 7" Hi-Clearance rear wing

JConcepts has released their new 7″ Hi-Clearance rear wing for the TLR22. A slightly wider base gives the wing a larger surface area which allows more stability during low and high speeds which provide some much needed grip in tricky situations. The Hi-Clearance sections near the end plates still allow maximum suspension compression and tire expansion.

Avid Triad B44.2 clutch spacer

Avid introduce the Triad B44.2 spacer to allow the use of the Triad slipper clutch in the latest Team Associated B44.2 buggy. As B44.2 bulkheads are shifted 6mm farther apart the spacer goes behind the Triad slipper to compensate the longer slipper shaft from a B44.1 to a B44.2. The Triad clutch is meant to calm the car down and gives a smoother throttle feel than the kit VTS item for added setup possibilities.

TeamSR weighted front bumpers

Team SR weighted front bumpers

Team SR introduce new weighted front bumpers for the Team Associated B4 and the TLR 22 platforms. Starting with the B4 variant, the front bumper is designed to replace the kit’s moulded plate with a 21g heavy and nickel-plated piece in order to adjust the weight balance of B4, T4 and X-6 cars. The special surface not only looks the part but also eliminates corrosion to make the part looking like new for a long time. The TLR 22 bumper is zinc-plates and a direct fit on the 22, 22T and 22SCT. Both plates help to mount needed weight as low and as forward in the vehicle as possible.
