JConcepts Dotek drag bashing rear rire

Dotek by JConcepts is the latest wide-body, treaded tire built specifically for RC Drag Racing and Bashing. At the heart of this design is the 2.2 x 3.0” configuration but stretched out to create a larger contact patch. Forward traction is the name of the game and the goal of the larger area, in theory, gives a racer a slight advantage in the ‘hook and go’ department. Adding the Dotek tread pattern added a touch of versatility to the design for dusty areas, concrete sessions, and conceptually more bashing requirements. The directional nature, marked by L and R on the tire feature low-profile padded and intentionally carved areas to provide additional hang-up to lock into un-prepped areas where dirt and debris are found. Radial security on the centre of the tire provides additional ‘beef’ to the design to give low RPM burnouts more rubber to go the distance.

ONG NGO shock caps

ONG have introduced a new shock cap design which have been made in Italy in Ergal 7075 T6 and then hard anodised in a gun metal grey colour. The 6 upper machined pockets on the cap have a dual purpose, reducing the weight of the cap, making it the lightest on the market as well as helping with heat dissipation. The 4 bleed holes coupled to the new membranes will allow a rebound close to 0 and a homogeneous response between the shock absorbers once closed. The kit includes shock membranes.

Awesomatix AM180EVO SB bellcrank

Awesomatix have introduced this AM180EVO SB bellcrank for the A800MMX single bellcrank steering (SB1). This Evo version is equipped with the same bigger bearings as the M5 version to further increase the reliability. Furthermore the height of the AM180EVO is slightly adjusted to avoid contact with P12X at certain setups. With this change, less bumpsteer shims are needed on the steering arm, which reduces the stress on this part. To keep the same bumpsteer value as with AM180M5 use 1,25mm less bumpsteer shims.

Mugen MTC2 active shock towers

For the MTC2 series, Mugen have introduced these active shock towers for the front and rear of the car. This completely new concept shock tower eliminates the resistance from the shock absorber when the suspension is lowered, dramatically improving stability when driving in the bumps on the track, or on the curbs in the corner. It also improves the stability of the rear in small corners that enter at high speed and corners that require quick turning. The effects are more apparent when using softer tires.
