ProStar 8ight series Kevlar shock towers

Coming from ProStar R/C and available for the TLR 8ight buggy and 8ight-T truggy are the Super Hybrid Kevlar composite shock towers. The sandwich shock stays utilise gold or blue carbon fibre over a Kevlar layer with a carbon fibre core. This makes the shock towers structurally stronger and more durable while the outer layer adds a touch of colour. Lighter than stock the parts also lower the overall centre of gravity. The shock towers are available for the 8ight buggy and 8ight-T truck and also in limited edition red variants.

Kyosho Syncro EX-6R 2.4GHz Mini-Z transmitter

Made for Kyosho’s 2.4GHz Mini-Z vehicles is the Syncro EX-6R transmitter. It utilises the innovative MHS (Mini-Z Hybrid Spread) 2.4GHz system that combines both Frequency Hopping (FH-SS) and Direct Sequence (DS-SS) spread spectrum, making it the fastest multifunctional transmitter in Mini-Z history. While the improved interference resistance and stability of the MHS 2.4GHz system represents a significant evolution from the ASF 2.4GHz and FHS 2.4GHz systems, the greatest benefits are due to the high-speed processing and communication that creates greater linear control, enabling the machine to be manoeuvred exactly as intended along optimal racing lines. In addition, the EX-6R features a newly designed throttle with revised length, shape, operating angle and sensor for greater direct feel as well as a new softer steering spring for greater sensitivity to enhance driving performance.

JConcepts TRX-4 Torch 1.9″ aluminium bead lock wheels

JConcepts have introduced their new Torch 1.9″ aluminium bead lock wheels for the Traxxas TRX-4 trial truck. The 6-spoke wheel is a straight-forward design, incorporating a triangle type spoke around the centre for heavy street appeal. The basic color is black, however, the natural color of the aluminium wheel has been exposed in the spokes which adds a touch of depth. Around the hub section, a flared boss surrounds the screw mounting area and has been highlighted in silver to bring out the lustre of an all metal wheel design. The bead lock wheel has a bolt-in 12mm hex adaptor which features a shim option to increase width by 1mm on each side by adding in the aluminium spacer between wheel and adaptor. The assembled wheel is solid with aluminium material, machined details with an array of threaded holes for the most tyre mounting security. Each package contains four wheels, eight aluminium bead locks, four 12mm aluminium hex adaptors, four 1mm offset shims and steel hardware for complete assembly.
