JQRacing THECar White Edition LV 1/8th nitro buggy

JQRacing THECar White Edition LV 1/8th nitro buggy kit

JQRacing have introduced the latest incarnation of their THECar 1/8th nitro off-road buggy, the White Edition LV kit. Following a steep learning curve in designing and selling a competition off-road buggy the “2016” White Edition LV marks the pinnacle of the THECar development so far. After the very complex previous White Edition kit the LV variant will feature less setup options to make sure even the average racer always ends up with an easy to drive yet fast car. Thus the LV features new front and rear shock towers with higher shock and link holes, redesigned 15 degree C-hubs with only one arm location, and new rear hubs with higher and less camber link holes. The hubs also feature bearing inserts for improved bearing fit. Also included are 2-piece steering knuckles, 7×1.2 and 7×1.3 shock pistons, as well as new +2 “C” and “D” plates with inserts for better handling as well as the longer 90.5mm front driveshafts. The kit hits the stores World-wide this week and more detailed information about the updated and how they affect handling will become available in the coming days.

Hobbywing XR10 Pro brushless speed controller

Coming soon is Hobbywing’s all-new XR10 Pro brushless speed controller for 1/10th scale applications. Developed in co-operation with Hobbywing North America the ESC was on show during last weekend’s Reedy Race of Champions and it was designed with both modified and stock racing in mind. It features a redesigned all-alloy can, a new processor and it is meant to be better in all aspects as it offers an even wider adjustment range, better and more adjustable brakes, and improved throttle response for both modified and stock racing. New to the XR10 Pro are also special modified racing throttle profiles. The XR10 Pro will become available this Spring.

MIP Bi-metal differential outdrives

Seen at last weekend’s Reedy Race of Champions for the first time are MIP’s new Bi-metal differential outdrives. They consist of a two-piece design, revolving around a 7075 hard anodised aluminium disk that is ambidextrous to both the female and male steel outdrives that couple to the aluminium disks. These new bi-metal outdrives will work with MIP’s Roller Pucks along with the standard orange plastic puck. The new diff components will be available soon for both current Team Associated and TLR vehicles and they are perfect for modified racers looking for a bit more punch out of the corners but also stock short course and stadium truck can achieve a lighter drivetrain while getting the optimum wear characteristics that the roller pucks offer over the plastic pucks.
