Wild Turbo Fan 2015 3D Mad Max fan mount

Wild Turbo Fan have introduced the 2015 version of the Mad Max fan mount. Building on the sleek design of the previous version the ’15 fan mount offers a tension adjustment feature that allows to adjust the mount to the motor can as these can slightly vary in diameter from brand to brand. A screw incorporated into the main mount presses against a steel ball to slightly close the clamp for a tighter fit on smaller diameter cans to make sure the whole assembly safely stays in place even in rough racing conditions.

Spec-R T4-15 floating steering conversion kit

Spec-R T4-15 floating steering conversion kit

Coming from Spec-R and made for the Xray T4-15 touring car is a floating steering conversion kit. Making use of a redesigned upper servo mount plate and new orange anodised aluminium steering posts the set removes the kit’s steering assembly from the main chassis in favour of a “floating” design. The result is a more freely flexing chassis and less influence of the chassis’ flex on the steering angle during cornering. The conversion bolts right onto the standard inner servo mount and it is available now.

JConcepts introduce the Finnisher design bodyshell for the TLR 22T 2.0 stadium truck. The slight cab forward, raked windshield and aggressive stance highlight a performance oriented core.

A front chin spoiler, headlight and grill protect the front-end from unwanted up-drafts during flight while the supplied decals detail stand-out like an 18 wheeler. Like the ROAR National Champion Hi-Flow SCT body, the Finnisher body has built-in air escape passages which allow the customer to fine-tune the body for maximum outdoor performance.
