RDRP T6.2 +4mm LCG aluminium chassis

Based on the popular Revolution Design Racing Products +3mm chassis for the RC10 B6.2, the new T6.2 +4mm LCG 7075 aluminium chassis as the name suggests adds 4mm of wheelbase. This is to improve handling in high-bite track conditions such as carpet and Astroturf, making the truck easier and faster to drive at the same time. One step ahead of the kit item, the new chassis is already prepared to accommodate new-generation servo mounts such as the B6.3 kit item or the RDRP LCG Servo Mount set. Machined from aircraft-grade 7075 aluminium for strength and optimised flex characteristics, the black anodised surface is the perfect basis for a stealthy looking high-performance model race car. As with the previous buggy version, the chassis comes with a low centre of gravity 7075-T6 motor plate that puts your motor as low as possible into the chassis cut out. Both the chassis and motor plate work exclusively with the laydown gearbox. In addition to the LCG motor position, cut outs in the chassis plate move the battery position for an even lower overall centre of gravity. With its silver edge details and laser-etched logos the chassis will not only ensure performance, but also attract attention in the pits. The chassis is also compatible with most bolt-on servo and electronics balance weight sets.

JConcepts 1987 Chevy Camaro IROC-Z body

Visually stunning, physically exhilarating, artfully balanced, the 1987 Chevy Camaro is all these things and more. One of the major reasons the JConcepts team underwent a project of this statue was to produce one of GM’s most sough-after vehicles of the 1980’s. A project originally started in October of 2020 has since seen some revisions along the way to accommodate an ever-changing Drag racing and Bashing segment in the RC market. A tight overall width to settle into today’s latest lineup of manufactured vehicles such as the DR10, 22S, and Drag Slash make the Camaro a fun and fit performer. Flat panel designs signified this generation and peaked during this era of the Camaro. Bucket headlights stand-out on the front-end with dual lights and bezels, the 87 looks so ominous. On top of the hood, two recessed ducts can be louvered out with the included decal sheet. The pointed front-end carries to the fenders, through the doors and back through the rear fender creating that transitional body line from top to bottom. Highly detailed recessed windows provide a large viewing area for the 2-door drag racer.

JConcepts Tusk & Hunk Class 1 tires

JConcepts continues to muscle new scale off-road items into the market with the introduction of the Tusk 1.9” tire. After successful class 1 tires such as the Landmines and Bounty Hunters, the team focused on a new design with learned information by driving, crawling, and important input from a heap of development time by the JConcepts team. The team retained the 4.19” sizing making it an approved and scale-based tire, but the tread layout went under the scope for changes. The Tusk has an animal like instinct while it makes its way over terrain with hefty lugs and sidewall support. The centre of the tire starts with a V-shaped lug with multiple steps to the sides for additional grip while the green compound rubber flexes and contours to the landscape. The design team added large, staggered traction bars off the side continuing the V-shape pattern and while the shorter version steps in conjunction with the centre lug, the longer version fills a void underneath and meets up near the centre line of the tire.

RDRP B6.3 +3mm LCG 7075 aluminium chassis

The Revolution Design Racing Products +3mm chassis has been updated for the ultra-popular Team Associated B6.3 2wd buggy. As before, it mirrors the optimised length of the original B6.2 and B6.3 chassis to improve handling in high-bite track conditions such as carpet and Astroturf, making the car easier and faster to drive at the same time. Of course, the new chassis is prepared to accommodate new-generation servo mounts such as the B6.3 kit item or the RDRP LCG servo mount set. Machined from aircraft-grade 7075 aluminium for strength and optimised flex characteristics, the black anodised surface is the perfect basis for a stealthy looking high-performance model race car. As with the B6.2 version, the chassis comes with a low centre of gravity 7075-T6 motor plate that puts your motor as low as possible into the chassis cut out.
