JConcepts B6.2 steel front bulkhead

New for the Associated B6.2 comes this steel front bulkhead from JConcepts. A weighty item that is routinely punished is the front-bulkhead on the B6 line of vehicles. While brass material produces a lot of weight it tends to be a little soft as racers bump and grind pipes, jumps and obstacles during a normal outing. With encouragement from Paul Wynn, JConcepts has designed the all-steel front bulkhead to help maintain weight but also significantly improve durability. The steel design helps outlast the brass counterparts and packs the same reversible design for either 25 or 30 degrees of kick-up. The bulkhead has a marked weight (28 grams) and includes the 4 standard countersunk screw pockets and 3mm setscrew offering to pin the hinge pins into place.

TLR 22X-4 servo mount set V2

In an effort to give more clearance for servos of all makes and offsets in the 22X-4, Team Losi Racing has released the 22X-4 servo mount set V2.  This mount set moves the aluminium mounting faces back by 3mm and includes spacers to allow a proper fit for any model of surface servo.  This gives more room for the servo horn to the mud guard and body so there will be no interference during steering travel.

H2 Racing Development 419MM V2 chassis kit

H2 Racing Development have released the V2 version of their 419MM kit, based on the TRF419. The mid-motor design, compared with the mid-pulley design, gives the chassis more stability and a better feel, which they claim makes it easier to handle in different traction conditions. Not only does the chassis and deck have a new and slimmer design, this V2 kit has also different lower bulkhead positions. This change gives the front and rear belt the same size and distance as the 420MM, meaning they use the same belt set. The suspension arm mounts have also had a small change, again to make it as similar as possible as the 420MM. Other updates are the new shock towers for the SSBB damper and the batteries are now also more centrally located for more equal front and rear weight distribution. This kit is suitable for the TRF419, 419X & 419XR.

Team Bomber TB-AK12 S-line side springs

Team Bomber have produced this new range of S-line springs for their TB-AK12 1/12th scale pan car. These HQ side springs are best suited for a wide range of popular carpets, high-grip road surfaces and conditions where a solid diff is used. The result of a close cooperation with a Japanese spring manufacturer with testing and technical capabilities they found that the taper of the springs helps reduce on power traction loss during cornering when using a differential. Made with high quality materials, the number of winds of each spring and all their dimensions have been carefully checked to ensure consistency and the best end product. Available in two versions, blue (soft) and white (hard).
