New JQ THECar option parts announced

JQ Products announce new option parts for their THECar 1/8th off-road buggy. First up are CNC-machined aluminium wing mounts. They make for a more secure fitment of the rear wing, are machined from high-quality aluminium and come black or orange of colour. Also new is a set of swaybar stoppers designed to keep the swaybar centred at all time. Included comes a pair of grub screws to make the set a drop fit solution. Last but not least are CNC-machined rear hub shims. They are an easy and effective way to make sure the rear hub inserts do not move and add the much required bling thanks to their orange colour.

KM H-K1 steel dog bones & middle layshafts

KM Racing have new option parts for the H-K1 200mm nitro car available in the form of spring steel rear dogbones and two new middle shafts. Starting with the dogbones, the parts are made from high-quality spring steel and are heat-treated to make them stronger and longer lasting. The red steel parts come laser-etched for easy identification and are a direct replacement for the stock driveshafts. The second new part is a hollow hardened steel middle shaft. The lightweight axle is suitable for pin-type and screw-type pulleys and offers the same design as the EVO2-485A HK485Ti-V2 parts. Last but not least comes the titanium middle shaft made for the screw type pulleys HK460-16TV2 and HK460-23TV2. It can be used with pin-type pulleys though and is of very low weight while offering exceptional durability thanks to the titanium material used.

CSO Super-V3 flexible chassis conversion kit

CSO introduce the Super-V3 flexible chassis conversion kit for the CSO-One, Team C TC10 and the Xray T4 and T4’2104. The integral part of the kit is the redesigned motor and layshaft mount that now mounts directly on the centre line of the chassis resulting in more equal left-to-right chassis flex. The updated layshaft mount sports mounting holes to connect the upper deck with the mount which helps on very high grip surfaces. An additional upper deck post can be added on front of the motor, again located directly on the chassis’ centre line. It is understood that the conversion kit includes a new chassis and topdeck as well as the motor and layshaft mount along a set of aluminium centre pulleys. There will also be a version that additionally includes front and rear aluminium suspension mounts.

MIP Cougar KR & SV2 Mod Puck driveshaft system

MIP introduce their new Mod Puck driveshafts for the Schumacher Cougar KR and SV2. Based around the company’s C-CVD driveshafts the design does away with the usual small diameter drive pins on the differentials side of the shafts in favour of a cushion system that increased the contact patch on the outdrives for less wear and longer time between rebuilds. The orange colour plastic cushions are easy to change when they start to wear while the steel outdrives and driveshafts remain like new. Included with the set come C-CVD shafts, wheel axles, pucks, a thrust race and the Puck system outdrives along all needed hardware and a set of chemicals. MIP will soon also have sets for Team Associated, TLR, Kyosho, X Factory, Serpent, Hobby Pro, Yokomo, Durango and Team C vehicles available.
