With a combined experience of over 20 years in the hobby, TeamSR which is spearheaded by Mike Dumas aims to develop products not only for those seeking the utmost in durability and performance but also for those simply seeking an aesthetically pleasing hop-up. Being racers, TeamSR realizes that the racer needs to be able to depend on the products they choose to use and race with. One of their core philosophies is to strictly utilize premier materials for all of their products with very tight tolerances. The carbon fiber is true Quasi-Isotropic and made specifically to their specifications in the United States while the aluminium is 7075 aircraft grade to assure furnishing the user with the best components. The first releases include front shock towers for the Associated B4, Kyosho RB5 and Durango DEX210 and a rear tower for the TLR22. The range also includes anodized aluminium hardware, ultra flexible sensor cables, tungsten carbide balls and in future more carbon fiber shock towers with anodized aluminium mounts for fine tune adjustments.
JConcepts have extended their line of Finnisher shells to include the Durango DEX410. Increased windshield angle provides a steady force upfront during mid-flight wind gusts on large jumps while 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 and with the addition of fastening hook and loop tape, eliminates empty voids that contribute to mid-flight directional changes. The rear of the cab has a new step feature and a louver which can be trimmed to allow air to escape at the top of the body through its V-shaped design. Three additional air-flow scoop locations have been also incorporated into the body design, the first, directly in front of the windshield which allows for fresh incoming air treatment and second, 1 on each of the side-pods to help air-out the inside of the body during heated running conditions.
