JConcepts Dirt Tech 1/8th truck inserts

JConcepts’ Dirt Tech inserts are soon also available for 1/8th truggies. Designed in conjunction with tyre insert guru, Brian “Dirt” Kinwald to bring the ultimate touch and feel while providing utmost durability, the 1/8th truck insert has medium sized cuts on the outside which touch off against the tyre inner carcass providing a cushy response and feel. The inside has horizontal channels cut in a 360 pattern to soak up the large impacts and help create forward bite and increase acceleration. The JConcepts design, with custom sculpted features, are blended into the newly developed material providing racers a durable option capable of being used in medium to extremely high-traction conditions.

Hot Bodies D413 carbon suspension arm cover set

Made for the Hot Bodies D413 1/10th 4WD buggy is this suspension arm cover set. It includes four inserts for the front and the rear lower A-arms to replace the standard composite parts with items of higher rigidity. Running less flexible arms can be beneficial in high ambient temperatures and on very high bite surfaces as stiffer arms result in improved steering precision and slightly reduced overall traction.

Reflex Racing RSD TC6.2 lightweight suspension kit

Reflex Racing introduce the RSD lightweight suspension kit for the Team Associated TC6.2 touring car. The parts not only shave weight, but also offer a revised geometry, with the front arms being wider and the rears being narrower, which makes the car more consistent and faster over a full race compared to the stock components. These parts are also far tougher and do not have quite the slop the stock parts have on the car. Included in the kit, that is available for pre-order now, are front and rear carbon arms, 4 degree C-hubs, rear hub carriers, outer hinge pins, arm shims, AE compatible rod ends and ball cups as well as pivot bushings and king pins along necessary hardware.

Serpent Viper 977 carbon fibre chassis set

Made for the World Championship winning Viper 977 car is this carbon fibre and aluminium chassis set from Serpent. Developed over the period of several month and finally available for release, the set offers a carbon fibre main chassis with aluminium inserts that control both the flex of the chassis as well as act as an engine heat sink. The chassis offers improved flex compared to the stock aluminium part for increased steering and improved overall traction, which can be beneficial in a range of track conditions. While the rear alloy insert is a mandatory part, the front insert is an option to control the overall twist of the chassis. Flanged aluminium inserts keep the parts in place without harming the carbon fibre. Equipped with both inserts the chassis is around 60g lighter than its alloy counterpart and Serpent’s readily available brass inserts allow to up the weight if needed.
