JConcepts Siren 2.2″ 4WD Front Buggy Tyre

JConcepts has released its Siren carpet and astroturf 1:10 Offroad tyre as a front for 4WD Buggy. Racing on artificial surfaces requires a lot of stability, steering, and forward-bite and the design team went to work to substantially improve performance for deep nested turf or carpet surfaces. The new 4WD front tyre brings a new larger and taller sized 3D blended pin-size, pin-separation, and a lightweight and incredibly low-profile carcass. The semi-circle protrusions, unique to the Lockness, Nessi, and now the Siren are included in the centre section of the tire and on the sidewall area. These details are important, and the low semi-circles improves side-bite but also minimize grip-rolling instances associated with normal pins. The pink compound represents a new compound for JConcepts, a medium soft material with good wear characteristics. The front tires include open cell inserts making them a complete set ready to mount, straight out of the package.

Team Associated DC10 Drift Car Kit

Having teased a new kit release last week, Team Associated has announced its entry into competitive RC Drifting with the release of its new DC10 RWD 1:10 Drift Chassis. Since 1964, Team Associated has proven to be the leader in competition racing. With its roots in onroad racing, although it exited the competitive Touring Car racing scene at number of years ago, the American brand said it made sense that their Area 51 engineers would develop the ultimate RC drift car with the DC10. In RC drifting, vehicle balance is key and with the many suspension and chassis tuning options on the DC10, drivers can set up their car with precision. The DC10 allows changes in camber, caster, and kingpin inclination (KPI), as well as motor and battery position.

Xray X4 CFF Extra Soft Upper Arm

New from Xray for its X4 1:10 Electric Touring Car is an Extra Soft CFF (Carbon Fibre Fusion) Upper Arm. The extra soft arm with thinner carbon generates more mechanical traction of the car and improves side traction. While the softer arm is slightly more fragile, it is recommended for very low & low traction asphalt and carpet tracks. The upper arm shape conforms around the inner shock position for proper clearance without compromising strength and improve steering and both forward traction and lateral traction. This design improves durability and eliminates radial play for maximum precision and control from the upper arms.
