JConcepts Swagger 4wd pre-mounted front tire

JConcepts’ Swagger 4wd front tire has a multitude of heights and angular ribs for corner speed, consistency and straight-line tracking ability. Now, the Swagger is available pre-mounted for serious racers lusting for a professionally mounted package. The ultra-low-profile carcass keeps a 4wd buggy very predictable and consistent in high-grip conditions while pointing the vehicle in the correct direction. JConcepts has added side-wall ribs in a circular pattern to the exterior of the tire to support high-grip racing. The pink compound marked with 2 pink dots on the tire represents a new compound for JConcepts, a medium soft material with good wear characteristics. The pre-mounted JConcepts tires include open cell, medium inserts for plush control mounted on Mono wheels available in bright white and florescent yellow.

SWorkz Pro-Speed 2.0 1/8 rear wing

SWorkz have improved the aerodynamics of their 1/8 rear wing. The Pro-Speed 2.0 is an upgrade to the popular Pro-Speed wing that features a bigger wing surface area, providing more down force. There are 8 aerodynamics holes under the wing gurney and they help reduce the down force of your car during high speeds. There are 2 different gurney flaps included, so you can adjust the wing according to the track conditions and this new wing comes in two colours, black and white.

Avid B6.3 Arm Mount C wider -2°

The new Avid B6.3 -2° C arm mount is a must-have if you are racing on high bite surfaces such as carpet or turf. This mount frees up the vehicle in the turns and when landing jumps sideways such as corner tabletops. To get to the low rear toe settings you need on carpet, you have to start narrowing the pills through the D Mount which is increasing side bite by decreasing your track width. This C Arm mount prevents that from happening by widening the C Arm Mount 1.4mm, thus starting you at 1 deg of rear toe with centered pills on the C and D mount instead of 3.

SWorkz high density gear ratio system

SWorkz continues to design new parts to improve the speed of your car, the latest result of which is the high density gear ratio system. Compared to the original 1.0 pitch spur gears, the 0.8 pitch gear ratio gives you more feedback and feeling. The acceleration change is significantly quicker, yet smoother and more range is given from lower torque to higher speeds. 2 clutch bell sizes (16/17T) are available as well as different centre spur gears (57/58/59/60). Your original S35-4 nitro kit comes with 47/13T, so you can start by trying the new 58/16T gears, while with truggy you should use 59/16T or 60/16T.
