JConcepts 1993 Ford F-250 trail bodyshell

JConcepts have introduced the 1993 Ford F-250 trail and scale bodyshell for 1/10th trucks such as the ones from Vaterra and Axial. The body is a replica of the ninth generation Ford truck and it features the slightly lower hoodline, rounded front fenders and grille as well as the stout fender flares the 1993 truck was known for. The bed itself is solid and includes slated details to look like its full-scale counterpart. Light body lines and raised sections are present throughout such as fuel tank latch, window weather strip outlines and hood indentations. The hard body-line positioned front to back give the truck heart and the “Built Ford Tough” personality. The body comes clear and includes an authentic decal sheet and easy to use window mask for the detailed hobbyist. The F-250 drops on the Ascender and Axial 12.5″ wheelbase setting, with standard body mounts.

Yeah Racing 90mm Desert Lizard crawler shocks

Yeah Racing have introduced the Desert Lizard 90mm dual stage internal spring shock absorbers for 1/10th scale crawlers. Utilising aluminium bodies the shocks also feature triple seal cartridges and dual stage internal springs that allow to build either a droop or sprung setup. The latter will create a rig which will generate a lot of flex and more suspension travel while with the droop setup, the rig will sit lower and because of a spring under the piston, will be less prone to rolling over but will generate less flex. The shocks come in sets of two, including different springs and damper pistons and in a range of colours including red, orange, green, gun metal and black.

X Factory Infinity carbon idler gear shafts

Coming from X Factory’s Infinity range of option parts are carbon idler gear shafts. They solve the problem of early transmission failures in modern 2WD buggies that are the result of the idler gear wobbling on the gear shaft as the latter is a tad too small in diameter to allow for easier assembly. X Factory’s carbon idler gear shafts are exactly 5mm in diameter, making for a press fit of the bearing on the shaft, resulting in an ultra-precise gear location and longer gear life. The shaft is available in a TLR 22-series and a Team Associated B6/5-series variant as a single item and without the gear and bearings you can see above.

Schelle B6-series carbon fibre battery strap

Schelle Racing Innovations have introduced their new carbon fibre battery strap for the Team Associated B6 and B6D buggies. The brace is of a rigid, secure, and minimalist design with the strap holds down the perimeter of the LiPo pack while allowing clearance for the plugs and also of the positive and negative terminal markings on the case. The pack is held in place by 3D-printed 7mm hex battery stops which are easy to install with a 7mm wheel wrench. Stainless steel screws are included, but racers can upgrade to aluminium or titanium to shave weight. Lastly the construction allows to pivot the hex posts and run the battery pack in-line for a more quick handling setup.

Revolution Design Racing Products Ultra Shock Stand TC

Revolution Design Racing Products is busy adding more accessories to their already impressive line up with the Ultra Shock Stand TC being their latest offering. The handy tool keeps things sorted during building, rebuilding and setup of 1/10th touring car shock absorbers. Machined from aircraft-grade 7075-T6 aluminium the stand is usable with both standard and big bore shocks and it keeps them in a perfectly upright position, allowing to easily and conveniently fill the dampers with shock fluid and they are also perfectly stored away when waiting for those nasty air bubbles to disappear. On top of this, small compartments under each shock hold small parts such as volume compensators and the like. Laser-etched markings help with shock identification to avoid any mix-ups and the stand comes in the five different colours of light blue, dark blue, black, orange and red.
