Imbue 12mm brass shock pistons

Hot on the heels of the 1/8th scale brass shock pistons Imbue announce the release of 12mm 1/10th variants. The pistons are meant to improve bump handling, they make for plusher landings and smoother vehicle response. Initially available in 3×1.35mm hole configuration, the hole selection works well on both outdoor and indoor tracks, with tapered holes on one side to allow tuning for faster rebound or dampening. Included are standard and tight fit sealing bands for a perfect fit and to eliminate blow-by and friction. The pistons fit TLR, Associated, and Kyosho vehicles as well as and other brands that utilise a 3mm mounting shaft.

JConcepts 22 2.0 Finnisher mid motor bodyshell

JConcepts introduce the Finnisher bodyshell specially designed for the TLR 22 2.0 2WD buggy in mid motor configuration. Development with the help of Ryan Maifield, the Finnisher for the 22 is a completely tightened design, slimming the overall look of the vehicle. The body sports a smoother high-speed transition with increased flow past the side-pods that lends itself perfect to high-speed circuits. A single angle starting near the steering assembly ending at the widest point in the middle of the chassis adds driving consistency and improved “at-speed” handling. As track conditions have advanced through additives, treatments and maintenance, the ultimate aero package flows through the turns, produces traction and jumps with consistency. Included with the body come two 6.5″ wide Hi-Clearance wings.

Coming soon from TLR is a new short wheelbase aluminium chassis for the 22 2.0 buggy. Designed to shorten the wheelbase by 2.5mm the part also sports massive machining in the battery and motor/speedo area in order to lower the weight while giving more torsional flex at the same time which should help with traction and overall drivability on low to medium-bite surfaces.

MIP 5ive-T header lock wire kit

MIP introduce the Losi 5ive-T header lock wire set for Losi’s large scale truck. Including a pair of pipe screws, split lock washers, M5 safety wire nuts and 2 feet of spring wire the set helps to secure the header screws and nuts of most gasoline engines to prevent them from vibrating loose during operation. The lock wire routes through the nuts, limiting their movement once they accidentally come loose due to heat and vibrations, and although they may still move a little bit they still hold the pipe in place making sure you can complete the run without sacrificing engine performance.

TLR 22-4 CVA driveshaft sets

Available now from Team Losi Racing are front and rear CVA driveshafts for the 22-4 4WD buggy. Successfully used by the likes of Ryan Maifield, Dustin Evans, and Dakotah Phend a CVA joint will create more natural lock up or bind than a universal joint. This helps to stiffen the suspension when under acceleration, which makes the car flatter and drive off harder. It also helps jump landings, when applying some throttle, especially when casing/flat landing. Available as separate front and rear sets the CVA’s are a direct replacement for the standard universal driveshafts.
