STRC Traxxas 1 degree Hub Carriers

New from ST Racing Concepts are these pro-racing aluminium 1 degree rear toe-in hub carriers for Traxxas Slash/Stampede and VXL/Rustler VXL. CNC machined from high-quality aluminium material, these rear hub carriers hold the tight-tolerance for an accurate 1 deg. toe-in. A set-screw over the hinge-pin design secures the hinge-pin in the hub carriers and this design prevents wear from the hinge-pins on the hub carriers. Available in blue, gun metal, silver and red. STRC also now offers replacement components for their option parts line. Items such as their lock-nut style hinge-pins available in pairs separately, O-rings seals for the aluminium shock bodies, replacement high heat-treated front axles for thev17mm hex conversion kit, and upper shock mounts for the front and rear aluminum shock towers.

Hot Bodies D8, D8T and Ve8 option parts

Hot Bodies have released a number of new options for the D8, D8T and Ve8. Starting with these durable and lightweight billet aluminium rear hub carriers. They come in the standard 0 degree but with the option of moving the hub forward or backward in the arm with finer shims and a narrower overall width. Also new is the front spindle carriers that come with 10 degree caster. This part gives you more upper link adjustments with more mounting holes and by turning the ball vertical. To further strenthen the front end, these billet aluminum front spindles are almost indestructible without gaining a bunch of weight. A new DCJ center drive shaft smoothes out the harsh angle of the front/center drive shaft, which decreases friction giving you more power and increasing the life of that part. Finally for the Ve8 only are front and rear black anodised aluminium skid plates.

JConcepts Illuzion SC10 over tray

When racing on a loamy or top soil track surface the inside of the SC10 chassis can become loaded with dirt or debris which creates extra weight. With the JConcepts over-tray these worries are minimized with the simple and functional over-tray. Fitting nicely under the body, it hugs the outside dimension of the SC10 chassis protecting the inside from unwanted excess dirt and debris build-up during racing conditions. The over-tray is snug around the entire chassis structure while being attached in the rear with blue anodized thumbscrews and a slide-in fit in the front for easy access. The over-tray is built with extra height and rake to provide extra room for various electrical and battery configurations.
