JConcepts Chasers black compound 1/8th buggy tyres

JConcept’s Chasers 1/8th scale buggy tyres are now available in the popular black compound. The Chasers rely on hefty, medium lugs which are angular in multiple directions. The horizontal type tread has a striking similarity to the trusty Crossbow tyre but the Chasers have a lower, closer lug arrangement which gives improved responsiveness and bite in medium, high and low grip conditions. The wet and dry condition tyre has small recessed cuts in the top of the tread for extra edges and increased formability over terrain. The centre overlapping bar treatment increases durability in the highest wear region of the tire. Included with the tyre come grey-colour Dirt-Tech inserts.

JConcepts B5M 3-gear honeycomb motor plate

JConcepts has rolled out a replacement motor plate for the popular 3-gear transmission available for the B5M, T5M and SC5M vehicles. The special design of the plate with a honeycomb milling affect over the standard “heatsink” ribs makes for improved rigidity in multiple directions. The honeycomb features add a 3D look especially as they remain natural aluminium while the rest is available black or blue in colour while slight chamfering on the 3mm thickness material allows the rather beefy plate to look quite skinny.

Yokomo 1/12th pan car prototype spotted

Yokomo are currently working on the follow-up model of the R12 C3.1 1/12th pan car, according to some images released by Kimihiko Yano. The yet unnamed car is made up from rapid prototype parts and features a heavily revised front end that does not seems to share a single part with the C3.1. Especially the upper arms are of a totally new design with a dual pivot ball inner mount while the damping duties are taken care off by two spring-equipped damper elements that connect to the lower wishbones. Both the chassis and single bellcrank steering look to be a pretty standard affairs but the rear end offers redesigned dual roll dampers with a considerably larger volume compared to the somewhat tiny tube dampers of the C3.1. Beside the images no information is available yet but we keep you up to date as soon as more information becomes available.

To the range of 15wt to 90wt fluids add 17.5, 22.5, 27.5, 32.5, 37.5, 42.5 and 47.5 oils which come in handy for off-road and on-road applications alike. The special formula of the fluids makes them very consistent even in temperature changes which also results in a more consistent damper action through the run.
