Shepherd now have this brass battery tray for the Velox V8 line of 1/8th on-road cars available. CNC-machined from heavy brass material and weighting in at 46 gram the part is designed to add extra weight at the lowest possible point of the chassis for improved overall handling on a variety of track conditions. A milled-out “channel” on the lower side of the tray prevents the battery strapping tape from becoming damaged during use.

JConcepts SCT Dirt Webs tyre

JConcepts introduce their popular Dirt Webs tyre tread for 1/10th short course trucks with the SCT Dirt Webs tyre. Based on the design ideas of Brian Kinwald and Jason Ruona the tyre combines the Pressure Points tread with uniformly positioned web-bars for added stability. This makes for increased forward traction while inside positioned horizontal and vertical bars help with side bite. The outer edges feature a single rib on each side which proves extra side-bite during heavy cornering and side-loading characteristics. The Dirt Web thread sits on the proven Bar Code tyre carcass giving the original wide-body tyre a low profile and appearance allowing clipped tread to extend all the way to the outer edges. Available in multiple compounds, the Dirt Webs can easily be matched to any track conditions ranging from indoor clay, indoor dirt to outdoor hard-packed or treated clay or dirt.

Area RC DBXL double arm steering system

Made for Losi’s DBXL large-scale buggy is this double arm aluminium steering set from Area RC. The set includes new inner aluminium steering bellcranks with the servo saver side offering a dual arm setup for the steering servo links meaning the steering assembly is actuated by two and not just one steering link, which is meant to make for a more precise and more reliable steering action. At the same time the dual links on the servo arm will lower the stress on the servo resulting in improved durability of the highly stressed part. The set is available in red, black and silver colour and also includes a reinforced servo saver spring and a ball-raced aluminium steering link.
