Werks Racing have announced the release of their new and improved 1/8th scale buggy tire inserts. Keeping the same wide, slightly rounded, profile that works exceptionally well with most of today’s more popular tire designs these new inserts use a new, lighter weight, higher quality material that makes for an even more consistent insert, virtually eliminating any difference in hardness between one to the next. As an added bonus the new material is less prone to disintegrating resulting in a longer wearing insert all at the same price as the old one.

JConcepts new Max-ups 1/8th buggy wheel joins the latest craze in 1/8th off-road in using large diameter wheels for blue and black grooved conditions. Max-ups refer to the bead mounting diameter being 3.5mm larger than standard size wheels and this increase in size brings the new wheels in slightly under the maximum allowed size under ROAR and IFMAR rules. Max-ups buggy wheels make a statement with their large appearance, convex dish shaped design and superior inner rib design and also incorporate an outer glue catch that resists excess glue from running down the wheel face during the gluing process. Also new from JConcepts are Rulux 1/8th truck wheels featuring standard offset as well as new Rulux front and rear truck wheel suitable for the RC10T4 and GT.
