Pro-Line Pin Point & Wedge Carpet Tires

Pro-Line have released their all new Pin Point buggy rear & Wedge 2wd Buggy front Carpet Tires.

Reds Racing Three 2.0 clutch system

Reds Racing have announced a new update for their 3 shoes ‘one touch’ effortless clutch system, called Reds Three 2.0. The development of the new version has affected the clutch shoes 7075 T6 which have been completely redesigned in order to improve the engine performance at low RPM and increase clutch life. The new shoes are shorter, lighter and designed for engagement during the entire shoe stroke and are less sensitive to wear and as such life time is increased. The clutch engages at higher RPM range, resulting in more controllable power during acceleration, while still maintaining good handling and performance on jumps. The clutch can be adjusted thanks to the traditional combination of different springs and shoes. Three different types of springs are available, with a diameter of 0.9 – 1.0 – 1.1 mm, and two different types of shoes, the traditional aluminium 7075 shoes and the optional ones in carbon.

JConcepts Silencer body for D812

JConcepts have released the Silencer body for the Hot Bodies D812, 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.
