JConcepts Hyper 9 & X2 Hi-Flow shells

JConcepts have released 2 new bodyshells for the Jammin X2 and the Hobao Hyper 9 buggies. The Hyper 9 is new and unique and demands a body which is just the same and JConcepts has responded with the latest Illuzion body specifically designed for the Hyper. The Illuzion “Hi-Flow” styling presents a smooth yet detailed design while incorporating many of the features from the original Hi-Flow body. Special consideration has been made for the Hyper 9 considering the air filter, side guards, battery box and extra clearance around the throttle and break linkage. The Hi-Flow body for the Jammin X2 buggy is a fresh hit and provides confidence inspiring looks to the driver. In addition, JConcepts has taken the frustration out of the stock body design and has eliminated the front nose piece for extra durability and functionality around the front body mount.

JConcepts Sevens, Crowbars & Crossbows

New from Florida based JConcepts are 3 new tires types, Sevens, Crowbars & Crossbows. Sevens are a result of 2-years of research and development on the world and national 1/8th buggy circuit. They incorporate the small pin design of the Double Dee’s combined with directional and functional undertones which produce increased grip while reducing wear. Wear is always the trade off when going to a small pin tire and with the Sevens these worries are a thing of the past. Running qualifiers and main events on the same quick tire is now possible. Combining the unique Sevens lug technology with the sticky yellow and blue compound allow the flexibility necessary to compete on even the most demanding surfaces for an extended period of time. These new tires excel on hard packed or blue groove conditions where the track surface has started to take rubber. Available in Medium Yellow or Soft Blue compounds.

Traxxas Slash Big bores & Slayer centre diff

New from Traxxas for the Slash is this big bore shock kit for the ultimate in bump and jump control. These fully assembled precision dampers are the perfect addition to the popular Slash Pro 2WD Short-Course truck, using machined aluminium bodies for consistent action lap after punishing lap, with a hard-anodized finish for extra strength. Also new from Traxxas, but for the gas powered Slayer is a new centre differential which helps balance power distribution from the TRX 3.3 Racing Engine to reduce front end lift on acceleration and improve steering responsiveness. When used with the dual-disc rear brake kit, brake bias and power distribution can be adjusted independently for maximum performance in various conditions. This is the perfect combination for putting power to the ground in rough terrain and maximizing corner speed.
