Yokomo YD-2SXIII graphite high traction chassis

For the YD-2SXIII, Yokomo have introduced this new main chassis made of graphite that changes the running characteristics of the machine by drastically changing the shape. Although optimised for the YD-2SXIII, the screw hole positions on the main chassis are the same, so E-series gearboxes and rear motor conversions can also be installed. While using the 2.5 mm thick plate material common to the YD-2 series graphite chassis, it has been slimmed down overall and has been significantly lightened, so it can be used on low grip road surfaces such as P tiles and coloured concrete. In particular, the area around the rear is designed to be as thin as possible by slit processing, making it possible to maximise rear traction. This main chassis has the perfect characteristics when you want to improve the stability of drifting in corners.

JConcepts Finnisher magnetic wrench & wheel nuts

JConcepts is making the job of taking your tires on and off a little easier with the release of the Finnisher magnetic T-handle wrench. With the locking wheel nuts of today such as the new JConcepts serrated wheel nuts, the initial spin is always easy, however, once you lock, it’s important to have a T-handle to clinch against the wheel. One of the trends is to feature a magnet inside the wrench to allow for quicker or user-friendly tire changing and maintenance. The wrench is designed so a driver can quickly spin with the tip of the wrench in a conventional style and then move lower to the T-handle portion to lock into position. The main structure of the design is aluminium and anodised blue, while the T-handle is constructed of steel with a black oxide finish attached to aluminium finger paddles for the feel and touch to adjust easier and with less pain. The wrench has etched size and JC logos for authenticity and identification.

TLR 22X-4 carbon fibre chassis

TLR have introduced this carbon fibre chassis for the 22X-4 4wd buggy. Weight is the best way to improve the performance of your 22X-4, making the buggy handle better, stay flatter, accelerate harder, brake quicker, land smoother and just go flat-out faster. The 22X-4 2.5mm aluminium chassis weighs around 115g, while the 22X-4 Carbon Chassis weights in at 75-77g – a weight savings of 38-40g. The massive 40g weight savings allows spec racers to run full-sized short batteries at near minimum weight. Unlike most off-road carbon fibre chassis that are cut from flat sheet carbon and require an aluminium front bulkhead for the chassis kick up, which effectively cancels out the weight savings, this carbon chassis is laid and includes the front chassis kick up in the carbon plate so no extra weight is added back on.
