Avid Ringer Bullet Plug Grips

Avid Racing Concepts have released these Ringer Bullet Plug Grips. Bullet grips have been around for a few years now and Avid figured it was time for them to put their take on these handy parts. First, they ergonomically shaped them to allow for a bit more grip when pulling them out. With a preference for the full stealth look, they did both of the grips in black with positive (+) and negative (-) laser etched on the base of each and included black and red shrink tubing that you can add to your wire for immediate notification. Last but not least they added their Ringer design to these by adding 5 silver highlight rings, one of which is inside the grip which makes these items sparkle like no other.

JConcepts Smoothie 2 Silver compound Pre-mounted

JConcepts has release a new slick offroad tyre, the Smoothie 2.  In some conditions in offroad racing, there is no denying that a slick tyre is the fastest way around the track. Indoor and occasionally outdoor clay surfaces become so tacky or free of dust and debris that a total slick tire is an advantage. For years drivers have sanded, ground, and hand sculpted tires in search of that elusive slick carcass, now, JConcepts has the Smoothie 2. Available as pre-mounted, the Smoothie 2 is glued to the genuine 3348 JConcepts wheel and available in either bright white or fluorescent yellow colours.

RDRP B6.4 | B6.3 Aluminium Shock Towers

Following the popular B74.1 aluminium shock towers, RDRP is now offering the Aluminium Front and Rear Shock Towers for the B6.4 and B6.3 2WD off-road buggies. Machined from high-quality aluminium the heavy-duty design matches the standard kit geometry but increases durability, suspension efficiency and precision. Thanks to identical stock mounting positions, it is a direct replacement and does not require any setup modifications after the change of parts. High craftsmanship standards and polished and chamfered silver edges make the shock tower visually stand out, and it is heavily machined to keep the weight low.

Leadfinger Racing ‘Beretta’ Inferno MP10 Bodyshell

Following the release of the ‘Beretta’ bodyshell for the Associated RC8 B4 last week, Leadfinger Racing has just released a version of the body Kyosho’s Inferno MP10. With the continued popularity of the newest release of the Kyosho Inferno MP10, there has been growing requests from LFR customer to offer a second body option. Originally designed to bring a fresh look to the 1:8 scene, the ‘Beretta’ was the perfect choice. In testing on the MP10, the Beretta gave the car tighter corner entry and exit,  jumped more level in the air, planted itself quicker on landings and gave the car an overall more balanced feel. The body works excellent on both loose and hard packed surfaces. To tie everything together they have added a steeper rake to the windshield while combining both stability and downforce to the roof. The top of the side pods have been equipped with our signature air dams that add functionality and style. On the back the body we molded in tighter shaped ailerons. This combined with a seamless rear fin tops it off for the perfect balanced body. The new Beretta body from Leadfinger Racing is the next generation of aggressive styling and performance.  Each body comes with clear overspray film and window masks for ease of painting. Leadfinger Racing stickers are also included.
