JConcepts foam adhesive body washers

Coming from JConcepts is a 12-piece set of foam washers for 1/10th scale body shells. They help protecting the area where initial damage starts to occur which is right around the body mount holes. The die-cut foam donut is adhesive backed to attach itself to the body and the foam cushions the landings from there. The soft but high-impact material allows some flexibility between the body and the setting distance to the mount protecting the paint from the inside out.

Coming from MIP and made for the Cross RC Demon G2, and G1R updated vehicles, is the R-CVD driveline kit. Made of alloy steel, the fully US-made kit it designed to deliver top performance and longer lasting parts. The kit allows to turn the tyres to a true to 46 Degree angle with no binding; resulting in top performance and reliability thanks to utilising a unique mechanical stop between the axle and bone where they will bottom out before the cross pin, safeguarding the cross pin from breakage leading to a longer lasting parts. The upgrade kit fits any Cross RC Demon with a G2 or G1R axle upgrade and does not require any type of modification. This kit also utilises MIP HD driveline couplings, allowing for easy rebuilds.

Redcat Racing have introduced the new Gen8 P-A-C-K pre-assembled chassis kit for those who want to run the Gen8 chassis with their own choice of electronics, wheels, tires, and body.

Redcat Gen7 portal axle kit

German Redcat distributor Absima has introduced a new Gen7 portal axle kit. The set is designed for the Everest Gen7 and features the same portal axles that are installed in the Redcat Gen8 Scout II scale crawler, but includes all the parts needed to easily install portal axles on the Gen7 Sport or Pro vehicles. This kit includes the front and rear portal axle, along with a moulded plastic plate so owners can mount the servo to the Gen7 chassis. The axles utilise Mod 1 steel gears, metal hex hubs and metal gear covers for durability as well as a CNC machined aluminium spool. The kit also includes a slipper clutch upgrade, with gearing change, intended for the Everest Gen7. Because of the additional gear reduction present in the portal axles, without a gearing change, the Everest Gen7’s top speed will be reduced by about 50 percent. This slipper clutch system features a lockout system, for those who decide they don’t want the possibility of their drivetrain slipping, but still want the gearing change.

The set includes ten inserts and a 5/32 drill bit.

The set, that is recommended for experienced hobbyists only, includes four hinge pins and a high speed drill bit to ream the arms to accept the larger hardened hinge pins.
