DE SpeedLine Plus 2.4 1/10th buggy wheels

DE SpeedLine Plus 2.4 1/10th buggy wheels

The SpeedLine Plus 2.4 is the latest 1/10th buggy wheel from DE Racing. Offering a 2.4″ diameter, for the use with the latest generation of 1/10th buggy tyres, the wheel delivers maximum corner control and stability by utilising DE Racing’s “Sure Lock” foam retention system. This system, comprising of radial ribs that lock the wheel and foam insert together, retains maximum tyre traction to the racing surface while eliminating the vague inconsistencies that come from an insert that is free to move around on its wheel. The rims are available for Team Associated, Kyosho and TLR 1/10th buggies and in white, yellow or black colour.

H-Speed WTF1 carbon fibre main chassis plate

H-Speed WTF1 carbon fibre main chassis plate

H-Speed have a new carbon fibre main chassis plate for CRC’s WTF1 Formula car available. Cut from high-quality multi-directional 4mm carbon fibre the chassis allows to run a shorty LiPo pack in transversal position for increased rear traction and improved steering. The optional rear cross brace allows the use of a rubber O-ring to secure the battery pack, similar to the design seen on the Carpet Knife Xti WC 1/12th scale car. On top of that both parts will reduce the flex of the chassis for even better on-track performance.

RPM E-Rustler & Stampede 2WD wide front A-arms

RPM E-Rustler & Stampede 2WD wide front A-arms

Made for the Traxxas E-Rustler and Stampede 2WD trucks are new wide front A-arms from RPM. The arms extend the front width by 31.8mm and therefore by exactly the difference in offset between the front and rear wheels. All that is needed for the conversion, that will make for stability-adding performance, is a second set of “front” wheels for the rear of the truck to align the front and rear tyres. Depending on the converted truck a new set of front turnbuckles and toe links is needed due to the increased track width. The A-arm are made from RPM’s durable Nylon blend and they are available in a range of colours including black, blue and green.

JConcepts B44.3 carbon fibre option parts

JConcepts B44.3 carbon fibre option parts

During the 2015 Reedy Race of Champions, JConcepts debuted the B44.3 carbon fiber front and rear top deck, servo and battery brace. This carbon fiber parts set is unique in looks, tough in durability and contributes to tuned flexibility which leads to a better handling vehicle. The top decks feature slotted locations which were added to free up the rigidness of the vehicle. More flex will contribute to a more confident driver who wants a more flowing drive out of the vehicle. In addition, the antenna mount was removed from the front top deck and placed on a new and included servo deck piece. The new position of the antenna mount is perfect for the popular servo mount location as well as convenient for the receiver and antenna wire. For racers choosing the new Silencer B44.3 body it also pulls the antenna mount out of the cab area and places it down on the side pod area similar to a 2WD buggy, cleaning up the entire look of the vehicle. To finish, JConcepts has included a matching battery brace along with hardware to directly fasten the battery in place for complete security. All carbon fiber parts are designed by JConcepts, produced with genuine 2.5mm material and machined to perfection.
