JConcepts Carvers Racing tires

JConcepts have announced the release of these ‘Carvers’, a 1/10th truck front tire perfect for a variety of track surfaces. The sharp angular and directional ribs provide the ultimate in control and direction on the most common dry and wet condition surfaces, while the compact tire body combined with the JConcepts firm foam inserts allow for precise steering input and response for very consistent lap times. In new condition they excel on low traction surfaces as well as high “loamy” traction wet surfaces where no rubber has been taken into the racing surface. Worn versions excel on indoor or outdoor clay tracks where a light blue groove has formed. Available in sticky soft Blue compound and include firm foam inserts.

Xray T2 52mm ECS Drive Shafts

The same concept as the previously available 50mm versions, Xray have released the new 52mm ECS drive shaft, designed with high-level racing in mind. These drive shafts were developed to decrease front wheel vibration when racing with a solid front axle, thus providing a much smoother and quieter ride and increasing steering. The drive shaft equalizes the speed between the drive shaft and the wheel, with a unique 2-piece joint between the axle and the wheel, the same extreme wheel turning angle is divided into two shallower angles without joint binding.
