Brilliant RC synthetic felt pit mat

Brilliant RC synthetic felt pit mat

From Brilliant RC comes a unique pit mat made from a highly compressed synthetic felt. Making it very impact and temperature resistant the mat brings a new clean look into the pits thanks to the matt black colour on which dirt is less visible than on bright coloured pit mats, resulting in a clean look of the table. Furthermore the surface prevents small parts like screws, pins, balls etc. from rolling away. With a size of 50x98cm the mat fits perfectly into a standard pit area while the soft material allows to roll the mat for easy storage and transportation.

JConcepts B5M honeycomb aluminium chassis

JConcepts B5M honeycomb aluminium chassis

Seen for the first time at last week’s IFMAR 1/10th Off-road World Championships JConcepts have now officially introduced the honeycomb lightweight aluminium chassis for the Team Associated B5M. Machined from hard anodised black aluminium and sporting milled hex shaped pockets the chassis also features aluminium islands in the electrics compartment which are left to allow an electrical footing area for mounting and wiring needs. The hex pockets in the centre of the chassis have been cleared for sensor wire or miscellaneous wire routing. All edges of the honeycomb pockets have been highlighted with chamfered edging all around, bringing out an luxurious look. The honeycomb chassis weighs in at 112 grams, some 23 grams less than a stock counterpart all while still remaining structurally sound, making it deal for stock and modified racers alike.
