Avid Truss 1/8th buggy wheels

Avid introduce the Truss wheels for 1/8th off-road buggies. They are of a totally new design and feature special channels that not only scrub some weight and rotation mass but also prevent the foam insert from shifting side to side for a more stable tyre and a more predictable handling. Rounded outer glue beads help with tyre fitment and easy gluing while offering bead protection at the same time. The name giving inner triangular ribbings help to keep the torque strength at the centre of the wheel while the slight concave design of the rim adds a different look and also wheel nut protection. The 83mm wheel will become available in white and yellow colour as in packages of 2 pairs or 6 packs.

McPappy Racing progressive VCS springs

McPappy Racing release the new VCS progressive spring kit. The “variable pitch” design has 3 coils on one end which are designed to coil bind under 1/4″ of compression travel. This allows the springs to be soft at first and rapidly increase in stiffness. Side shocks benefit by allowing the pod to be smooth and soft near the neutral resting position yet get progressively stiffer as the chassis rolls. Likewise, if a small VCS shock is used for the centre shock, the soft action handles the bumps nicely while getting stiff right before the chassis bottoms out. The springs are available with traditional or precision ground flat ends with the latter applying pressure slightly straighter and helping to keep it from rubbing on the shock body. The kit included 8 pairs of springs from 5 lbs through 12 lbs in 1 pound increments.

JConcepts Silencer Mugen MBX-7 Eco

JConcepts Silencer Mugen MBX-7 Eco-1

New from JConcepts comes the silencer body shell for the Mugen MBX-7 Eco buggy. Designed for the use on high-speed tracks it features a narrowed, Finnisher stance cockpit that allows for smoother high-speed transition and increased flow in and out of the body for electrical air-flow. A deep recess behind the cab features dual channeling out the rear providing air escape along with rear-end stability. The side-pods have a clipped rear-end, narrowing the rear by angling just in front of the rear tyres. The extended runner features on the rear-end of the body enhance the force placed on the rear pods during high-speed acceleration. The main pods are heavily chamfered with a more heat-shrink design over the speed control and motor areas. The end result has the body looking extremely low-profile with heavy JConcepts edginess and appeal and it is capped off with a cockpit “shark fin” for more high-speed tracking stability and increased roof stiffness.
