Sparko F8e 1:8 Competition Buggy

Taiwanese buggy brand Sparko has released its new F8e competition-level 1:8 Electric Buggy which they claim has the world’s first battery mount design that provides the most configurations for a 1:8 vehicle in the industry.  It can use batteries of different sizes to meet the power and time requirements for all racers around the world.  In addition, the battery mount is designed in an eccentric mode.  With multiple battery positions, balance response needs for all drivers and track conditions will be met. With the Multi-configuration battery mount system you can achieve eccentric arrangements from 2s to 4s. From forward to back, to inside and outside, pure balance of the car can be achieved for optimal response.  The buggy also features an Anti-flex aluminium motor mount system, the rigid system eliminating unwanted flex allowing the motor to operate accurately and efficiently.  Result, smooth and reliable drivetrain. It gets a double rear brace design.  While the kit is equipped with one rear brace, you can use two for more balance of the left and right torsion of the chassis.  This can provide more consistent drive while cornering and accelerating with the official optional braces to be released soon.  Another feature is the built-in versatile aluminium fan mount.

Jetko J-ONE 1:8 Offroad tyre

Tyre manufacturer Jetko has announced the upcoming release of its new J-ONE 1:8 Buggy tyre which is designed with strong consideration for eBuggy users.  The tyre is the result of having recognised the excellent performance of “Bar” style tyres but also identifying the issue with rapid wear rate when used with today’s nitro-powered cars or high torque electric buggies.  To provide the best solution/performance for heavier/powerful electric vehicles, Jetko undertook the task of developing a tyre that also meets the specific needs of electric models.  Rather than simply designing a stronger tyre with a thicker pattern and more surface area, Jetko made the strategic choice not to compromise on performance. They maintained the optimal surface area in contact with the ground and the appropriate thickness of lugs/Bar to ensure better performance.
