Horizontally placed in the front, and vertically in the back, the checkerboard allows the driver to aim for the finish line each event.  Racers go all out, Checkers or Wreckers as they say while wrenching, setting up, and dedicating hard earned hours to their craft.  JConcepts also has a large selection of hat styles, shapes, and colours available in 2025.  The “2025 punch out” logo patch pops with vibrant colours and placed up front.

RM2 Razor L.D. 1:8 Offroad Wing

JConcepts, under the RM2 brand of Ryan Maifield, has added two new colour options to its Razor ‘Low Drag’ 1:8 Offroad Wing.  Now available in red and pink, Maifield used the Razor L.D. wing on his Tekno to win the Truggy class at the recent Southern Indoor Championships and with the new RM2 variations the wing should appear around the world on buggies and truggies with matching paint schemes and patterns giving even more options to the racer.  This combination wing includes elements first rising to prominence with polycarbonate wings with the use of a single vertical direction side-dam incorporated into the base wing feature providing a little freedom during highspeed turning and 180-degree corners.  As with all JConcepts wings, the side-dams are recessed for decal placement and increased rigidness.

EXO Design YC-870C Shock Mounting Point Extension Set

Buggy conversation specialist EXO Design has created this Shock Mounting Point Extension Set for when using big bore shocks on the Yokomo YC-870C/YZ-10.  As big bore shocks needs more room to clear out from the arms, using washers on a single mounting point will cause mounting screw to bend easily due to huge torque.  EXO Design’s shock mounting point extension set solves this issue by using double mounting points on the arm, and create a more solid and durable mounting position without compromising setting options.

KO Propo Electrical Switch 4

Japanese radio and servo manufacturer KO Propo has announced the upcoming release of its latest electronically controlled power switch the Electrical Switch 4.  With a new case size that is about half that of the Electrical Switch 3 the switch is intended for use on GP powered cars.  A CPU memorises the power status (ON/OFF), so it can prevent power-off caused by connector connection failures due to vibrations specific to gasoline engine cars or momentary disconnections during overload.  It features a full-colour LED to display the battery mode (cut-off voltage) and remaining battery power.  This allows you to check the switch status at a glance and with high-intensity LED used it is easy to check even outdoors.  The switch comes with two types of bottom cases included, one with fixing holes and one without, so you can switch between them depending on how you install it.
