Inside Line Racing TC02C Evo carbon fibre T-plate

Inside Line Racing have just released a new carbon fibre T-plate for the Team C TC02C Evo to go alongside their growing range of option parts. The plate has been CNC-machined from a single piece of 6mm thick carbon fibre to give improved accuracy, rigidity and strength over the kit supplied plastic version. It utilises the Team C RF hanger from the TC02 rear motor car which again adds to the strength and tuneability of this new option part. All of this combined adds up to a sharper handling and stronger car.

T-Works XB4’15 floating servo mount

T-Works XB4'15 floating servo mount

T-Works have a new floating steering servo mount for the Xray XB4’15 buggy available. Doing away with the need to run the standard parts that connect the servo with both the chassis and the side pod the mount makes for a more equal left-to-right chassis flex as it utilises the “floating”, centre-mounted design most of today’s touring cars use. Included in the set comes an aluminium centre mount, an outer aluminium post and a sturdy carbon fibre upper plate.

JConcepts Ruptures 2.2″ crawler tyres

JConcepts Ruptures 2.2" crawler tyres

New from JConcepts comes the Ruptures 2.2″ crawler tyre for vehicles such as the Axial Yeti. The extremely tacky yet versatile tyre offers a layout of individual “large islands” that react to directional and forward loading characteristics like a soft gummy candy. The long horizontal attack bars are connected with solid sidewall detail which braces the sidewall for the high impact situations. The centre “mini islands” help maintain spinning speed and at half height provide some space to sling clean during those dirtier runs. The entire top level of tread has built-in cuts and recesses which provide a sharp edge. A sidewall radial rib connected with a dual position arrow help maintain stability and help the driver squeak out of a tough situation. The carcass itself is extremely pliable which conforms to the vast majority of obstacles. Inside the carcass, the tyre features a connected “Y” loop ribbing design which blends carefully into the sidewall. The bracing supports the lower half of the tire while maintaining the upper flex characteristics. The 154mm tall tyres include a soft open cell foam insert capable of standing up the super soft compound but flexible enough for sharp terrain.

F1shop24 LightningF carbon fibre set

New from F1shop24 in collaboration with Italian RC and made for the VBC Racing LightningF is an optional main chassis, lower pod and upper plate set. Machined from 3mm high-quality carbon fibre the chassis offers higher rigidity than the stock carbon fibre chassis, making it especially useful on high to medium-bite surfaces while allowing to place the battery in an inline or transverse position. The chassis plate also utilises a shorter wheelbase compared to the stock chassis which allows for a more agile handling and higher corner speeds. The chassis was successfully tested by Olivier Bultynck at the ETS round in Luxembourg were he was able to win the Formula class. For the use on low-grip tracks there is a 2.5mm variant available also.
