Smokem Racing have released their new spring steel spool cups for the Team Associated TC6.2 and TC6.1. Made from Smokem’s own spring steel formula, these claim to be some of the toughest wearing drive cups available on the market today. They are further hard coated to increase durability. Ready for use without blades it provides a smooth yet reliable setup as blades can break or wear during use which has a big effect on the handling during a run.

Capricorn have released a number of new items for their 1/8th and 1/10th cars. First up is the new double reverse clutch system for their 1/10th car, which also works on the NT1 and Velox V10. The new clutch is available in red or black version and helps increase the power of the engine when it engages while maintaining the same top speed. An aluminium clutch bell reduces the weight by 70% over the steel version for more acceleration. New for both classes is an updated damper system with quadra o-ring and improved bottom cup for smoother shock shaft action as well as easier assembly. Finally for the C801 is a new front carbon shock tower with a different profile which helps increase steering in the entry of the corner.
Similar to the aluminium nose brace tubes for the RC10 Classic released some days ago, JConcepts now have diamond wing tubes for the same car. Available in black and silver color schemes, the diamond tubes in black jump out with a pattern of black hex flats matching a gold or black chassis combination. The tubes are sized to slide into the bulkhead and press into position similar to the stock components.
JConcepts have produced custom aluminium nose brace tubes for the RC10 Classic with a custom machined hex, creating a mind busting look with the diamond pattern. Available in both black and silver color schemes, the diamond tubes in black jump out with a pattern of black hex flats matching a gold or black chassis combination. The tubes in silver raise the glamour level in the chassis and can be matched to any other anodized chassis color. 4-40 threaded holes bolt up to the RC10 with ease and are direct replacements for the stock components.

New from TLR, designed for the 22 2.0, these Universal Joint (UJ) driveshafts create less “Bone Bind” or “Driveshaft Lock-Up” allowing for freer rear suspension movement, especially on power. This allows the car to squat more on acceleration, creates more side bite and is more consistent when throttle inputs vary. This is a great setup tuning option for high-grip surfaces or very bumpy surfaces, especially outdoor Astro Turf, carpet and some higher bite dirt or clay surfaces. The Horizon Hobby UK is exceptionally excited for this product release as they have found great improvements in performance with the UJ’s on most of their circuits.
