CRC have released a number of new parts including this Encore shock shaft extender that replaces the stock ball cup on the end of the shaft allowing you to use any size/length of standard 4-40 ball cup. This allows you to make the shock quite a bit longer to fit on other manufacturers cars. Popular on some 1/10th scale oval cars, these new aluminium shock tower mounts allow you to vertically mount your carbon fiber shock tower to your chassis and also work well for mounting mini servos, such as the JR 3650, flat in 1/12th scale and 1/10th scale pan cars. New for the RC12R5 and similar to the CRC front ride height shim set, this new set comes with 3 pair of shims, 1 pair each of .010″ (0.25mm), .020″ (0.5mm) & .030″ (0.75mm). Team CRC have also created these two molded plastic pinion trees. This all new design sports pinion storage on all 4 sides which allows you to store a huge range of gears. The smaller tree holds pinion gears 18-45 teeth, while the larger tree holds 46-67 tooth gears. Finally CRC have released this simple foam car stand, perfect for under your pan car.

JConcepts Profiled inserts, lock nuts, beanie & tire bands

JConcepts have released a whole host of new products starting with the 1/10th off-road tire inserts. Racers have asked JConcepts for a firmer and more durable insert and after much deliberation the new JConcepts Profiled insert is ready. Having the insert with proper density for track conditions pays dividends to the racer and especially toward the end of races. To add to the construction and performance, JConcepts have added cut / grooves into the profile of the inserts to add an even greater driver to track feel. JConcepts has your 8/32″ locking wheel nut needs covered, for both buggy and truck with the new Illuzion wheel nut set. These precision wheel nuts are flanged and knurled for locking security and feature a lightweight design. When the weather turns cold it’s a good idea to warm-up with the JConcepts Beanie hat. Manufactured in a durable material with JC embroidered logo the beanie has a low profile fit and finish which provide a stylish yet protective look. Finally, the JConcepts tire rubber bands have been given an update and the set now includes 4 narrow and 4 wide versions and help with mounting tires.
