JConcepts titanium Clod Buster, Regulator & B74.1 parts

JConcepts have produced number of new titanium parts for the Tamiya Clod Buster, JConcepts Regulator and Associated B74. The parts include large 8 x 9mm pivot balls, 5.5 x 8mm ball ends and 6 x 6mm ball studs. The 8 x 9mm pivot balls work with the ladder bars on the Clod Buster and Regulator chassis, while the 5.5 x 8mm ball-ends which seemingly attach to just about every corner of the Team Associated line of vehicles also work well on the Regulator’s behind axle steering assembly. The 6 x 6mm pivot balls replace the lower links move on the Clod Buster and Regulator chassis. With these lightweight JConcepts Titanium pieces, the application is smooth and simple with a 2.5mm or 2mm wrench while the light-weight material screws together very easily. The tough design, light-weight materials add to the simplicity of a monster truck build and can be used time and time again for consistency.

Hudy aluminium set-up wheel for 1/10 offroad

Hudy have released their new aluminium set-up wheel for 1/10 offroad. These unique hexagon style set-up wheels simulate the different sizes of 1/10 off-road tires. Each type of tire – carpet, astro, dirt or foam can have a different diameter and these set-up wheels have multiple heights to match the style of tire being used. Suspension set-up, ride height adjustment and checking tweak using standard rubber tires that are not perfectly round can result in inconsistent measurements. When checking and setting up suspension geometry, it is important to eliminate as many variables as possible and have all four corners of the vehicle positioned at the desired height each time. The alu set-up wheels are one of the most important and basic set-up tools when performing a professional car adjustment. Precision-machined to exacting tolerances, each alu wheel in a set is perfectly matched and fits all standard 2WD and 4WD off-road cars 1/10.
