Reds Racing have been teasing this great looking engine for a few weeks now and finally it’s now official.

Internally it sports an extra tuned sleeve and crankshaft with special modifications to the sleeve and crankshaft by Mario Rossi which increases engine power noticeably and guarantees good fuel mileage at the same time. The new airboost backplate has been designed for increased mid to high RPM power, increased fuel efficiency and faster return to idle.

GForce maintenance stand

GForce have introduced their new maintenance stands, something a little more helpful than a regular car stand. Available in both offroad and onroad variants it is in fact firstly a car stand for foam padding to prevent the car from sliding off, but in addition it also offers 4 holes for doing shock filling and a large central hole for acting as a third hand to hold your motor while you solder the wires for example. Not only that but the side of the offroad stand also has a magnetic area to put your screws or springs so as to not lose them. Available in anodised blue or black, the offroad version is 53mm tall with the onroad version comes in at 32mm tall.

JConcepts Cush 1.9 – 4.19 OD scaler insert

Different conditions in the scale off-road and crawling scene require different slip and pinch traction and these JConcepts soft inserts can be the missing link at any given moment. The tall and narrower insert fits inside the class 1 size tire like the Landmines and Bounty Hunters and the flat profile provides that scale look. The softness allows a lot of flex to the carcass, lugs and sidewall letting the tire continuously conform to the terrain.

JConcepts Mortician body for Axial SMT10

Dig a hole, lay the competition 6’ under with the new Mortician body for the Axial SMT10 and similar vehicles from JConcepts. The converted to panel truck body is competition friendly and uniquely sized featuring the scolding front headlight protrusions. As a racer, front and rear clearance is important for racing and freestyle competition, the Mortician has the submarine outer light pods resting against the tightly compressed nose to look the part. JConcepts created a beak style front-end, large swooping front flares for a racy feel and a very broad and removed centre grille to back up promises of massive carnage. The panel truck cab and roof-over section is flat and to the point, the windshield has a slight V-treatment for realism. Maximum imagination to the masses is what this body shell is all about with the large exposure panel areas. The tall panel section is a bonus, an artboard in a sense to decorate, decal or paint however the user desires. Included in each body set, a clear and heavy-duty polycarbonate body, decal sheet and the paint mask for all windows.

JConcepts React 2.2″ 2wd & 4wd rear open cell inserts

JConcepts have come with their React 2.2″ 2wd & 4wd rear open cell inserts. One common adjustment made during carpet and turf racing is altering the rear tire insert. One of the recent trends is utilising a narrower rear insert while racing on carpet and turf, which has shown to produce different handling characteristics. The narrower design leaves more room for sidewall plunge providing more side-bite. In addition, the insert is low-profile, tight, and compact so the tire maintains its small shape for quick and nimble transition and acceleration.
