JConcepts EB410 lower front wing & nose cone

Following the introduction of the new lower front wing and nose cone set for the Team Associated B64 buggy, JConcepts now also have a variant for Tekno RC’s EB410 wheeler available. The lower wing is an option to the tower mounted front wing that has shown to produce enhanced steering characteristics. The package includes the lower front wing and the nose cone on the same mould. The nose cone is similar to what would be found on a 1/8th off-road buggy. The lower front wing can be painted, left clear or frosted for the desired look, fit and finish. Recently, Ryan Maifield captured the 2017 IFMAR World Championship in the 4WD class using this item. Reports from the pit area revealed an increased feel and sensitivity in the larger sweeping sections and helped jumping attitude in the tricky section of the difficult Xiamen built track surface.

Breathless Racing Products BK’s ball cup pliers

Available now from Breathless Racing Products is the BK’s ball cup pliers. Developed in cooperation with 1/10th off-road icon Brian Kinwald, the tool allows to easily attach ball cups on pretty much any 1/10th vehicle while saving the mechanic’s fingers and the car’s shiny aluminium as they focus the force on the ballstud itself and eliminate the need for using fingers or pliers on the surrounding parts.
