JConcepts TLR22 3.0 Aero front wings

New from JConcepts and made for the TLR22 3.0 buggy are the Aero front wings. Mounted above the front shock tower on the TLR series of vehicles, the front wing mounts in “clean air” and is quite easy to trim, use and test without sacrificing all important track time. Available in two widths, the driver can choose either the “narrow” for a lighter feel or “wide” for heavier down force. The front wing features a high-attack design with trim-able rear gurney options and a radical, edgy design which compliments the Finnisher and Silencer body design. The leading centre section of the wing has been formed into a unique V-shape to perfectly outline the front shock tower geometry and cut lines are included for easy trimming while triple wing mount dimples are included for a bolt-on fit to the popular TLR 22 series of vehicles.

Roche introduce new Rapide P12 option parts

Roche have new option parts for the Rapide P12 1/12th scale pan car available. First up is a floating steering servo conversion kit. Developed and tested by Roche factory driver Naoto Matsukura, the conversion makes for a centralised servo mounting position to achieve equal left and right flex characteristics. Furthermore the servo’s position can be centred, allowing to use a wide range of servo sizes without having to worry about different length steering links. On top of that the servo can also be mounted hanging to the left or right to achieve the best possible weight distribution. All graphite parts are cut from USA-made carbon fibre and using the chassis makes for more stability while the car is also easier to drive. Beside the chassis and servo mount the conversion also includes a new aluminium damper top cover that allows to mount the centre shock in three different forward or rear positions.
