PSM introduce the floating battery mount

German company PSM are known for their innovative after market option parts and while working on the a shorty LiPo battery chassis conversion kit for the Yokomo B-Max4 III, Stefan of PSM came up with the idea of a floating battery mount. While the buggy offers a floating servo mount from stock, an idea adopted from the electric touring cars, taking away the influence of the battery on the twist of the chassis seems like a new approach to get every little bit of performance and predictability out of the 1/10th scale buggies, especially since a carbon fibre chassis, such as the upcoming shorty pack conversion, offers more flex compared to the kit’s aluminium chassis. From what is understood PSM is testing different configurations of the mount at the moment and we keep you up to date with the progress.

JConcepts silver compound 1/10th buggy Dirt Webs

Debuted at the 2014 Reedy Race of Champions, the JConcepts silver compound was the quick break-in compound used with success in the Open and Invitational classes. The new indoor compound labelled as “super soft indoor” is now available for the Dirt Webs tread and works alongside the gold, however, breaks in slightly quicker allowing drivers to get up to speed quickly and when practice is at a minimum. The silver is not a replacement for the popular gold compound but an option that can be used to dial in on a freshly groomed track or offer a quick break-in alternative.
