STRC SCX10 Jeep Rubicon aluminium options

STRC SCX10 Jeep Rubicon aluminium options

ST Racing Concepts have two new option parts for the Axial SCX10 available in the form of an aluminium front and rear bumper mount as well as a side rail mount. Starting with the bumper mount, the part is made for the SCX10 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon and the new G6 with the front bumper mount featuring a longer side bracket to brace the inside of the chassis rail. This eliminates the front plastic chassis brace and allows for the servo to come through the chassis rail with no obstruction during suspension compression. The rear bumper mount features the complete high detailed look of the stock piece with more strength to provide a solid battery and rear bumper support for the SCX10. All necessary hardware included and the parts are available in anodised black, gun metal, green and silver. Also new is the CNC-machined heavy duty side rail mount, again made for the SCX10 truck. They are an exact replica of the stock piece but in highly detailed machined aluminium. The mounts are sold in pairs and are available in anodised black, gun metal, green and silver.

Grid RC 4PLS drop down steering wheel

Grid RC has announced the pilot project to manufacture a drop down steering wheel for the 4PLS based on the previous released Sanwa MT4 offering. The company developed a specialised mounting bezel adapter that can be bonded to the radio case itself without any screws, thereby preventing the customer from voiding warranty from the radio manufacturer. The drop down steering wheel upgrade is fully CNC-machined, comes with a satin black finish and will work on both the 4PLS and the 4PL. More details can be found on Grid RC’s website.

RDRP RB6 aluminium mid motor wing mount

RDRP RB6 aluminium mid motor wing mount

Revolution Design Racing Products announce the soon release of the aluminium wing mount set for mid motor converted Kyosho RB6 buggies. Machined from 7075-T6 aluminium and coming black anodised the wing mount is not only a lot more durable than the kit parts but also makes for a more solid base especially for larger or heavier wings, meaning improved aerodynamic efficiency. It is a direct fit on the stock plastic shock tower and also perfectly matches with RDRP’s soon-to-be-released carbon fibre rear shock tower set. As usual the parts sport a stealthy black colour and laser-etched logos for a cool factory look.
