Pro-Line T5M Enforcer bodyshell

Pro-Line have introduced the new Enforcer bodyshell for the Team Associated T5M 1/10th scale 2WD truck. Originally from the mind of World Champion Pro-Line Driver Ty Tessmann and inspired from the success of the larger Truggy Enforcer body, the Enforcer has a meaner and more angular front end look with swooping roof and bed sections for improved airflow and high-speed stability. The hood of the truck is steeper to create more down force over the front wheels for more steering and faster lap times. The body comes clear, including window masks and a decal sheet and it is a direct fit on AE’s 5th generation mid motor truck.

Shepherd Velox F1 1/10th formula car kit

Following a first teaser some time ago German company Shepherd now have officially introduced their all-new 1/10th Velox F1 formula car kit. After a long and intensive development phase and already successful in pre-production prototype stages, the kit was developed from scratch in close cooperation with some experienced formula drivers. Sporting a clean and symmetrical design the chassis features a single centre post for fixing the centre shock and the body mount plate which results in a lot of space for the electronics. A Shepherd VRS absorber with a floating piston instead of a membrane and two high quality aluminium tube dampers take care of the damping duties to keep the wheels on the ground and to guarantee maximum traction under all track conditions.

JConcepts Aero lower front wing

JConcepts Aero lower front wing set

New from JConcepts comes the Aero lower from wing for 1/10th 2WD buggies such as the Team Associated B5M and TLR 22 3.0. The lower front wing mounts in a more forward position and is quite easy to trim, use and test without sacrificing all important track time. The front wing features a high-attack design with trim-able rear gurney options. A radical, edgy design which functions and compliments the Finnisher and Silencer body design includes elements and features fresh for the latest off-road conditions. The lower front wing comes in 2-piece sets, is not car specific and can be used on most all 1/10th off-road buggies. Due to customer and team demands, JConcepts has opted to release a genuine 3D printed front mount for the B5M and TLR 22 3.0 vehicle via the company’s Shapeways store. Although not an injection moulded part, the 3D print item should give ample support to drivers wanting to utilise the JConcepts designed parts for a completely matched setup as used by the factory race team.
