JConcepts has released titanium turnbuckle sets for Schumacher’s LD3 2WD Buggy and Cat L1R 4WD Buggy. The 3.5mm Fin turnbuckle sets are designed specifically for style, durability, and performance. The base of the design is centred around a .143” (3.7mm) titanium hex size which gradually tapers down into a 3.5mm thread base design which accepts the Schumacher ball-cup after modification. The focus of the styling surrounds the lengthened adjustment hex area and the “finned” cuts that rotate about the centre. The Fin turnbuckles are lightweight, and the original design brings out the glamour and quality that makes titanium one of the most sought-after exotic materials in the world. The JConcepts turnbuckles are produced with left- and right-hand threads with the left being conveniently marked for easy orientation. With two colour choices offered, the burnt blue turnbuckles have intentional sporadic coloring ranging all around the blue spectrum. In order for these turnbuckles to be used properly on the Schumacher ball-cups, its necessary to carefully drill out the plastic parts using a 3.2mm drill bit (not included).

New from Serpent is the Mini Spider RTR, a small 1:24 EP buggy. This fun buggy is made of super elastic plastic to absorb shocks well and equipped with high-grip offroad wheels and utilising the latest technology. The coreless motor accelerates the RC car up to 20km/h. If this is too fast for you in the living room or children’s room, you can also reduce the speed thanks to a rotary control nub. Throttle/brake and steering commands are sensitively implemented in full proportion by the 2.4GHz remote control. Due to the modern transmission system, several vehicles can of course be driven at the same time. So nothing stands in the way of the mini Grand Prix at home!
