JConcepts Exo 1/10th shock stand

JConcepts Exo 1/10th shock stand

JConcepts have introduced a simple but attractive shock stand for 1/10th off-road shock applications. The design is unique featuring an Exoskeleton look where ribbing and surrounding geometry forms around the cylindrical holes used to place the shocks. The stands are moulded from a durable and light-weight material typically used in an application such as wheels and suspension components. The pass-through holes allow the user to use the stand from either end to suit their individual need or taste. The stand sits inside a separately functioning moulded rubber cup with embossed JConcepts.net logos patterned around the surface.

Brilliant RC Belt Silicone lubricant

Brilliant RC Belt Silicone lubricant

Brilliant RC’s new Belt Silicone is an innovative lubricant which improves the performance and efficiency of every belt-driven RC car by reducing the friction of the belts and pulleys. Furthermore it ensures that less dirt adheres on the pulleys and on the belts which results in less wear and an extended life of the drivetrain. The lube comes in a bottle with a small applicator brush for convenient and save application as even the smallest amounts of silicone-based lubricants can cause considerable damages in nitro engines.

MIP AE & TLR .250 bore machined T-nut

MIP .250 bore machined T-nut

Made for 5th and 4th generation Team Associated 1/10th vehicles as well as AE and TLR MIP ball differentials is a machined T-nut from MIP. The 7075-T6 machined aluminium T-nut is completely rebuildable by simply replacing the small nylon inserts. These high quality nylon inserts increase the screws break away force by 20 percent, meaning that the diff screw will stay in its desired position much longer and increase the consistency of the differential over time. The aluminium design also increases sheer strength of the “T” by 40 percent. Included in the set are the aluminium T-nut and two nylon inserts.
