JConcepts Bullet 60mm 1/10th buggy wheels

JConcepts introduce their new Bullet 60mm off-road wheels for 1/10th scale buggies. The wheels are sized at the industry interchangeable 60mm and offer a slight concave dish shaped design on the AE wheels and slightly convex shape on the TLR line of wheels to stand apart giving each line their unique appearance. The wheels incorporate an outer glue catch that resists excess glue from running down the wheel face during the gluing process. Wheel sets are available for all popular Team Associated, TLR, Kyosho, Yokomo, Serpent and Xray 2WD and 4WD vehicles and they require tires and inserts designed for 60mm bead mounting diameter and are not completely interchangeable with their 2.2” counterparts. Although these popular large wheel sets are not a replacement for 2.2” wheels nor ROAR legal at this time, they remain a popular tuning aid to racers always pushing for excellence.

Mugen MBX7R 1/8th nitro off-road buggy

In the build up to the 2014 IFMAR 1/8th Nitro Off-Road World Championships in Italy Mugen Seiki introduce the follow-up model of the 2012 Worlds winning MBX7. Not a revolution but an evolution of the existing design, the kit features improvements in the suspension and steering areas along other subtle changes. Mugen concentrated on making the suspension on the MBX7R even better with new 16mm bodied front and rear racing shocks. These new shocks will improve stability in both bumps and jumps greatly. The bigger bodies’ shocks will make the 7R have less fade during longer runs which means you can drive even harder than ever before. The rear shocks are 4mm shorter and with the use of a new rear shock tower will keep the back of the 7R hooked up and on the ground. The 7R gets a chassis change with the side angle of the chassis changed which creates more strength and a better feeling on all racing surfaces.

Capricorn LAB C03 1/10th scale 200mm chassis

Following the introduction of their latest 1/8th scale chassis Italian company Capricorn now also have first information on their forthcoming new 1/10th scale 200mm car available. The LAB C03 is an evolution of its predecessor, the C02, with the transmission has seen a bit of a make-over to become easier to work on. Several redesigned areas reduce the overall number of parts for improved reliability and reduced maintenance time. Also new on the drivetrain are redesigned tensioners for all three belts and the ability to run high or low front and rear axles. A redesigned chassis makes for improved weight distribution and constant flex control for more steering and traction. Another new chassis part is the completely redesigned radio plate which uses a traditional position for the throttle servo and a floating, ball-raced front mount for the FSS front flex system. Other new features include new shocks, a redesigned engine mount and alternative link position for the rear upper links providing better traction in low grip conditions.
