JConcepts Slash 4×4 overtray & Manta SC

New from JConcepts is this over-tray for the Traxxas Slash 4×4, which helps protect the chassis from excessive debris.

The over-tray is built with extra height and rake to provide extra room for various electrical and battery configurations. In addition, JConcepts has incorporated an extensive scoop and louver design which can be trimmed to allow air flow and heat escape. JConcepts have also released final photos of their new Manta Short Course body shell, which is suitable for the Slash, Slash 4×4 and SC10.

Durango release details of DNX408 body shell

Durango are claiming that their DNX408 1/8th scale has the lowest bodyshell around. This has many benefits, like low centre of gravity, minimal frontal area to punch through the air, more air flow over the rear wing etc, but it also helps with heat management. The engine head in a DNX408 gets the most direct clean airflow of any car, plus the body is designed to direct as much air as possible over the bodyshell at the engine head, rather than through the body. The central engine and low bodyshell mean that all shock bodies are also in clean airflow. The rear wing is as close to the rear wheels as possible, thanks to the forward shock position, this drives the down-force directly to the rear wheels. Too many wings on 1/8 buggies are way out back which means more wheelies than down-force.

Serpent S120 Link 1/12th scale

Having released CAD images of their new 1/12th scale car back in November, Serpent have finally released the S120 link chassis. Differing from the previously available S120, the chassis uses a link-system which is damped using a conventional centrally mounted shock absorber together with a laterally mounted floating monoshock. The newly designed motorpod is a combination of high quality machined alu brackets and top quality carbon fibre parts, bolted together to create an ultra stiff rear pod and allows the brushless motor to be mounted in the optimal position for car balance and offers good heat dissipation as well. The front end of the car stays the same and is completely adjustable and utilises the now standard fixed lower suspension arms combined with active top wishbones.
