Answer-RC V2 lightweight locking wheel nuts

The revised wheel nuts are lighter, offer a lower profile and now match Answer-RC’s Spokes wing washers in terms of design. The fasteners are CNC machined and drilled for low weight yet still serrated on the rear for a solid lockdown of the wheel. Coming in set of four in red or black colour they are suitable for pretty much every 1/8th nitro buggy, truggy and GT car.

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.
