JConcepts aluminium 18mm clamping servo arm

JConcepts have announced the release of their new 18mm aluminium clamping servo arm. One of the critical points of racing comes from the steering servo and proper servo horn. The horn transfers all the torque from the servo to the steering bell cranks and this piece needs to be created with precision and durability. The JConcepts 18mm servo horn created for both 23T and 25T count has all the geometry necessary as a vast assortment of vehicles. The broad base of the horn tapers to the connection area where the steering takes place. The boss on top surrounds the ball end and provides a hefty surface for steering direction. Small ribs have been added on the sides to help strengthen the unit in a twisting fashion and a deep pocket hides the 3mm standard mounting screw. The entire horn has been retouched with chamfer highlight edging and laser etched with JC and the tooth count for high-end looks and authenticity.

JConcepts Traxxas breathable chassis covers

Coming from JConcepts and made for a variety of Traxxas truck are breathable chassis covers. When racing on a loamy or topsoil track surface the inside of the chassis can become loaded with dirt or debris which creates extra weight. With the JConcepts mesh chassis cover these worries are minimised with this simple and functional part. Fitting nicely under the body, the JConcepts chassis cover hugs the outside dimension of the chassis protecting the inside from unwanted excess dirt and debris build-up during racing and bash conditions. The chassis cover fits snug around the entire chassis structure while being attached along the sides with the included hook and loop tape (Velcro) for easy access. The versatile part of the design comes from the mesh material, zipper closure and Velcro attachment which makes changing batteries or routine maintenance a breeze. The mesh itself is breathable and keeps out large debris while allowing airflow around the electrical items inside the chassis. They are available as variants for the Stampede, Rustler 2WD, Rustler 4WD, as well as the X-Maxx.
