Exotek Durango gear cover & hex adapters

Exotek have released this heavy duty CNC machined gear cover for the DEX210, DEST210 and DESC210. The cover allows larger pinion area for stock class racing, allowing up to 37 tooth 48 pitch pinions. Aids in cooling the motor by adding more surface area to the motor mount while a slotted bottom screw mounting allows for easier removal from mid motor configuration. Exotek have also produced a pair of precision 15mm alloy hex adapters for the DESC210 or DESC410. A special design uses a set screw to lock the pesky axle pins in place for worry free wheel changes.

JConcepts Kyosho RB6 Finnisher body

JConcepts have released a Finnisher body for the new Kyosho RB6. Increased windshield angle provides a steady force upfront during mid-flight wind gusts on large jumps. Forward cab placement changes performance / visible bias which helps steering rotation in low traction corners. The side-pods have been simplified and JC chamfered to remove unwanted changes in height to neutralize the at-speed handling. The chassis to body fit has been tightened up which eliminates empty voids that contribute to mid-flight directional changes. The rear of the cab has a new step feature which allows the placement of a secondary side window and also a louver which can be trimmed to allow air to escape at the top of the body. In addition to the newly designed body, JConcepts has included 2 of the latest 6.5″ wide Hi-Clearance rear wings.

Hudy 1/8th offroad progressive springs

Hudy’s new range of progressive springs are soft at the beginning of the compression but become harder as the spring is compressed more in the middle, with highest hardness at the end. Developed through extensive testing and racing experience, these racing springs were designed and precision-crafted to have a more progressive rate than standard racing springs. As the car enters the corner the spring is softer which generates more grip but as soon the car inclines the springs get stiffer and the higher corner speed is achieved. Available as a pair, the springs are individually measured, controlled, inspected and matched to provide identical damping characteristics. During the selection process, each spring is compressed in several fine increments and the values are recorded. Each spring is then matched with another spring of identical characteristics.

JConcepts Silent Speed spur gears

JConcepts introduce their new line of Silent Speed spur gears for select Team Associated, TLR and Traxxas vehicles. The gears are precision machined making them uniquely concentric over standard or molded gears giving the user a consistent gear mesh allowing a more precise adjustment and more silence on the race track. The detailed machining provides a pattern vented area and secured slipper pad on both sides giving more consistent slipper performance. The gears are marked for size in 2 different ways so they are identifiable either assembled within a slipper assembly or as a stand-alone part and come in various sizes with 69 and 72 tooth spur gears now available specifically for 1/10th AE off-road vehicles and stock class racing.
