JConcepts A2R 190mm TC body

The JConcepts team is back with a follow-up to their A1R touring car body, with the release of the new A2R. The new drivers body has fundamental differences necessary for performance starting straight-away in the front-end area. The shrunken front-end is considerably laid-back, shortening the nose allowing the force to be placed over the front tires. A-pillar rails extend over the hood for some air deflection straight over the nose and strengthens the front wheel well area. The front windshield is tucked back inside the rails sunk and connected to the aggressive roofline giving the A2R its distinctive shape. Behind the front wheel well and in front of the rear wheel well is a definitive edge that strengthens the openings and also provides better race posture. A hard edge runs the bottom of the rocker-panel providing more grit to the design while also providing extra front to rear rigidity.

AKA 1:10 Slicks 2.2 tires

AKA have announced the release of their new 1:10 Slicks 2.2 which utilise the popular 2.2 mounting bead for increased performance and consistency. The Slicks 2.2 expand on what was learned with the popular Scribble 2.2 to create a consistent, long lasting, slick tire with minimal ‘break-in’ necessary. An improved carcass design creates the proper amount of elasticity to get the power effectively to the ground, without ’snap’, from the first battery pack to the 20th. The 2wd and 4wd fronts make use of the new and popular V2 front foams which allow for a wider footprint and a smoother less twitchy steering feel.

Factory Team 2mm thickness V2 shock pistons

Factory Team have introduced a new tuning option for off-road 12mm shocks. The new 2mm thickness V2 shock pistons decrease damping and pack compared to their standard 2.5mm thickness kit counterparts. Keeping the same 2-hole valving, the shorter thickness piston allows for faster fluid flow, and less pack while the shock takes fast impacts from jumps and bumps. This results in a small shift, giving the car more traction and less pack, which racers can tune for an advantage in a wide range of conditions.
