JConcepts 1999 Ford Lightning Scalpel bodyshell

JConcepts have introduced the 1999 Ford Lightning bodyshell for Scalpel converted Slash 4×4 trucks. The SVT F-150 Lightning body is built low and wide and excels when converted to the Scalpel speed run configuration. The high-speed shell features a short-wheelbase giving the scale look but with extra width to clear the wide-body tires for optimum handling and acceleration. Exterior elements that distinguish the Lightning from the regular F-150 include new upper and lower front grilles with a horizontal design that is unique to the Lightning in the F-Series line. The headlights, taillights, side-marker lights, and the signature round fog lights all match the full-scale counterpart found only on the Lightning, which give the exterior a clean, jewel-like appearance. The cab’s center high-mounted stop lamp also is unique to the Lightning, and is created with a simple detailed decal.

Revolution Design 4XS aluminium main chassis

New from Revolution Design Racing Products is an aluminium main chassis plate for the Carisma 4XS 4WD buggy. The new chassis improves flex characteristics and makes the car a lot stiffer compared the standard carbon fibre chassis, which helps especially on high-grip surfaces like astroturf or carpet. The high-quality 7075-T6 aluminium chassis also lowers the overall centre of gravity, which is another improvement on high-grip tracks. Also incorporated into the design is an optional forward mounted battery location to increase steering, but also to improve the overall weight bias and handling of the car. The chassis is made in Germany and limited to 50 pieces only.

LMR 27 1/10th scale low-profile buggy wing

LMR have introduced their all-new 27 wing for the use with 1/10th off-road buggies. Designed with high-traction racing in mind the wing weighs in at only 17 gram while its low-profile design significantly lowers the car’s centre of gravity. For lower grip racing conditions the wing has a recess where an optional 1mm carbon fibre plate can sit and act as a stiffener, making this wing produce the maximum amount of downforce and still weighing less than 20 grams in the process. The pre-drilled plate, currently only available for Yokomo buggies, has three hole placements so the wing can be moved forward or back depending on the level of traction required.

CNC machined from high-quality aluminium, the heavy-duty chassis rail brace and bumper mounts will add great strength while adding visual impact.
