JConcepts green compound Bar Codes

JConcepts have announced that their 4wd front and racing truck front & rear Bar Codes are now available in green compound. Like the name suggests the alternating bar design combined with the addition of the Y side bars provide uncompromising support for blue and black groove conditions. Bar Codes in new condition excel on hard surfaces that have taken rubber with either dry or wet grooved conditions. Worn Bar Codes excel on indoor or outdoor clay tracks where a minimal dust groove has formed.

RDRP DEX210 shock cap & preload nut set

From RDRP the DEX210 TD aluminium BB shock cap & preload nut set is designed to replace the stock plastic bottom cap of the Team Durango 1/10 scale big bore shock absorbers. The aluminium part not only looks better but the tough design of the cap also allow you to tighten the cap more for better sealing shock absorbers. Also included in the set are CNC-machined spring preload nuts that are larger in diameter. The increased diameter makes ride height adjustments easier, plus the design of the nuts add that “factory” touch to your ride. The parts are CNC-machined from 7075-T6 aluminium, come anodised and are a direct replacement for the stock parts.

Xray XB9 hard suspension arms

Xray have released all-new hard XB9 suspension arms moulded from a new blend of their own proprietary composite material. After extensive testing of dozens of different hard composite mixtures, the factory team identified this new blend as the choice for mass production. The new hard suspension arms are specifically designed to be used in extremely hot conditions. The new harder composite will reduce flex and deformation in these extreme heat conditions, however, due to the reduced flex, they are also less resistant to extreme impacts. The new suspension arms are also longer providing increased stability.

Pro-Line BullDog body for B44.2 buggy

Pro-Line have released this BullDog body for the Team Associated B44.2 buggy. The new B44.2 features a longer and narrower chassis, which requires an all new body. Ryan Cavalieri is coming off an incredible season winning the 2012 ROAR National Championships in both 4wd and 2wd buggy running Pro-Line’s highly coveted line of BullDog Bodies. Ryan has improved upon the design and developed the most advanced body yet, the 2012 BullDog body. Ryan took great care in refining the design for 2012 to create even more stability with enhanced steering to gain an advantage on the track. The windshield is steeper to create more down force over the front wheels and the roof ridges have been raised to channel the air flow over the middle of the body for increased high-speed stability. The rear of the roof has been lowered and fins have been added to achieve stable air flow over the body. The fins also add rigidity to the body to increase aerodynamic efficiency.
