JConcepts Detox 1/8th buggy tyre

JConcepts have introduced the Detox 1/8th buggy tyre. Designed for those extra brutal track conditions, the tyre features a closely spaced tread that was made to survive long mains and it is available in compounds such as red, blue and green giving racers an option for just about any temperature requirement. The design revolves around the centre structure which has hefty lugs arranged in a stacked configuration. The lugs have strategically placed cuts and grooves to allow flex in dusty conditions to perform even if the track is deteriorating while a long main is in progress. The outer portion of the tread fits together like building blocks, with shapes placed together that nest well but also work together to flex laterally to provide steadfast side-bite. The tread tapers off cleanly to the outer side-wall giving a smooth transition during hard cornering. Included with the tyre come JConcepts’ Dirt-Tech inserts.

JConcepts Mono slim 2WD buggy front wheels

JConcepts proven Mono 1/10th buggy wheels are now also available in a “slim” 2WD front variant. The rim completes a wheel lineup for the narrow carpet and Astroturf front tires routinely used around the world. The internal ribs feature support in all the appropriate areas extending inside to out against the outer bead ring. The centralized hex accommodates a huge selection of 2WD buggy platforms – including the B5, RB6, KF2, SRX-2 and YZ-2 – and is shallow enough for a clean install every time. A polished face maintains a clean yet simple look for the racer and an outer glue catch resists excess glue from running down the wheel during the mounting process. The light-weight, one-piece wheels are precision molded for concentricity, produced in a durable, high-impact material and available in bright white and fluorescent yellow and they come in packs of four wheels.

Xray T4’16 electric touring car kit

Xray T4'16 electric touring car kit

Xray have introduced the latest incarnation of highly successful T4 platform. The 2016 specification car received some subtle changes to make the European Championships and IFMAR Vice-World Championship title winning car even better. The backbone of the ’16 is a redesigned lower chassis plate made from 2.2mm high-grade carbon fibre. Only 86mm wide the chassis offers optimised flex characteristics and it features new mounting positions for the updated motor mount to make for equal left-to-right flex and greatly reduced chassis tweak. Weight distribution and balance characteristics have also been optimised to allow the battery to sit as closely to the car’s centre line as possible which was made necessary due to today’s heavy, high-capacity LiPo battery packs. The chassis also sports pre-drilled holes for optional parts such as chassis weights, graphite motor guard, graphite adjustable battery holder, and battery strap.
