JConcepts have produced number of new titanium parts for the Tamiya Clod Buster, JConcepts Regulator and Associated B74. The parts include large 8 x 9mm pivot balls, 5.5 x 8mm ball ends and 6 x 6mm ball studs. The 8 x 9mm pivot balls work with the ladder bars on the Clod Buster and Regulator chassis, while the 5.5 x 8mm ball-ends which seemingly attach to just about every corner of the Team Associated line of vehicles also work well on the Regulator’s behind axle steering assembly. The 6 x 6mm pivot balls replace the lower links move on the Clod Buster and Regulator chassis. With these lightweight JConcepts Titanium pieces, the application is smooth and simple with a 2.5mm or 2mm wrench while the light-weight material screws together very easily. The tough design, light-weight materials add to the simplicity of a monster truck build and can be used time and time again for consistency.
