JQRacing Black Edition low rear shock tower

Coming from JQRacing is a new low rear shock tower for the Black Edition buggy. The shock stay sports lower shock mounting holes which reduces up travel slightly while making it easier to achieve the correct down travel. Drivers can screw the shock end on all the way, which adds safety. For smooth tracks, owners can also try adding one additional shock O-ring on the shock shaft, to reduce up travel further and the correct shock length to run is 120-121mm with this tower. As for the upper links, the stock middle hole is the same as the lowest hole on this tower. This means that there is one higher row on the new low tower. This can be good to run in high grip or bumpy conditions, where team drivers raise the hub with the middle insert.

JQRacing Black Edition Spec-Q 1/8th nitro buggy

JQRacing have introduced their factory-built Black Edition Spec-Q nitro buggy. The vehicle has the same specifications and features as the Black Edition kit, but instead of packaging the parts in the familiar bags for assembly by the customer, JQRacing build the car at the factory, to the proven August 2017 stock setup. The only thing left for the racer to do is to install an engine and pipe, and the electronics, and paint the pre-cut body. Even the throttle and brake linkages are built and ready to go. The Spec-Q car is intended to be ready to race, so thread lock has been applied, and camber, toe, and droop have been set correctly. The diffs and shocks are pre-built with the correct oils, getting racers on the track quickly.
