JConcepts NB48.3 S1 buggy bodyshell

Coming from JConcepts and made for the Tekno RC NB48.3 buggy is the new Silencer S1 bodyshell. Offering a distinctive cab forward design with a medium rake angle for an aggressive driving feel without sacrificing out-right balance the body also sports forward pods that have the necessary height for chassis related items with an added scoop, built for cooling access from a forward position. The rear deck is built up and includes a rear winglet which drops some force on the rear of the vehicle. The mid-length cab incorporates a one-piece side window layout and includes a long shark fin off the rear of the cab for side-traction and straight-line tracking ability. At the rear of the cab rest several areas which can be trimmed for air-flow and hot air escape which is common inside a nitro vehicle. The S1 is formed in clear polycarbonate material with protective film and each package includes window mask and detailed decal sheet.

Infinity TLR 22 3.0 carbon fibre rear shock tower brace

Coming from X Factory’s Infinity line of option parts is a new carbon fibre rear shock tower brace for laydown converted TLR 22 3.0 buggies. Initially developed by J.P. Richards, it moves the shocks to the front of the rear arms and has many advantages over the standard layout. By moving the somewhat heavy shocks forward, their weight is closer to the centre of gravity which can give a huge advantage in a range of track conditions. The carbon fibre brace also stiffens the tower and forward shocks control the motion of the arms better. According to Richards the car jumps better with the stiffer tower and better arm control. It pushes off the jump face better and lands better. It is also more consistent in corners, especially on-power during exit. The car can be driven harder through every corner and over every jump. The set includes the carbon fibre shock tower brace as well as all needed mounting hardware.

The motor plate is available in blue or black anodising and for all B6 laydown kits. Coming in December is also a Delrin guard for improved looks.
