LRP Antix line of hobby LiPo batteries

After months of development and testing, LRP are pleased to present their new Antix batteries. The perfect LiPos for hobby and amateur drivers who are mindful of their budget but still want to run LiPo batteries of high quality. The classic, rounded ‘stick pack’ shape in 134mm length also fits perfectly into older chassis that were designed for this shape and length. Due to the 4mm off-centre cable outlet, the battery posts are also no longer in the way. Available in 3100 and 4100mAh and with popular connectors such as Tamiya, T-Plug, XT90 and EC5, these will be followed soon by 3S – 6S configurations for the hardcore bashers.

JConcepts releases a wrench set contained in a slim unit with a 7-piece assortment of magnetic tip attachments. The blue anodised handle with grippy silver highlighting sports an injection moulded end cap inscribed with JC for authenticity. The slight ‘football’ shaped handle has some classic JConcepts ‘Fin’ machined details and teardrop milling sections combining appearance and functionality. The design of the speed tips is unique, featuring spring steel adaptors on the hex wrenches and steel machined tips with titanium nitrate coating. The hex wrenches come in the popular sizes such as 1.5, 2.0 and 2.5 and feature a ball-end version of the 2.0 and 2.5 for those tough to reach locations or tricky angle applications. The nut driver tips are entirely 1 piece spring steel units in the useful 5.5 and 7.0mm sizes to fit a huge variety of applications. Each wrench tip is laser etched with tool size and JConcepts.net logo for identification. A bonus with the wrench set is the injection moulded storage base for vertical pit bench storage to keep each size handy and available when needed. A simple pull of the required tool off the holder can be performed in seconds and placed into the handle where the magnet takes a hold of the steel and snaps into place. The entire assembly fits into a translucent storage case with pre-cut hard density foam to protect handle and tool caddy.

Pro-Line Reaction+ HP Wide SC Belted tires

Pro-Line is proud to bring the next generation of drag racing tires to the no-prep scene with the new Reaction+ HP Wide SC Belted tires. The Reaction+ is about 20% wider than the original Reaction HP tire for massively improved grip off the line, which can mean the difference between victory or defeat. Once you reach full throttle, you can have 100% confidence in the stability of this tire because it is belted with an extra wide belt that wraps further into the corners of the tire to prevent any expansion. The Reaction+ tire is so wide that it will not fit standard width SC wheels, so Pro-Line engineers developed a new Wide SC wheel specifically for use with the Reaction+ HP, the Showtime+ wide SC wheel. Just like the original, the Reaction+ is made from Pro-Line’s soft S3 compound, which is a proven winner taking the win and the top 4 spots at the 2021 King of the Streets drag race in Las Vegas.
