JConcepts Tool Holder

JConcepts now has a fresh take on the tool holder that displays well, fits in to pit space conveniently and places the tools in a more ergonomic position. The multi-piece item also has a storage mode and can quickly be disassembled to easily be tucked away during travel. The tool holder starts with a CNC machined base that boasts pockets to place miscellaneous items during a typical race day. The base has extended features that allow for the carbon fibre legs to lock in to place for a healthy footing. The component which holds the tools is a beefy and detailed CNC machined plate which has 5 different bored locations for your tools. There are several highlighted pockets to remove weight and to give the most trick look possible. The all billet aluminium and carbon fibre assembly has an additional touch of authenticity. The black anodised aluminium tool holder has silver chamfered highlights and laser etched JC logos to top off the assembly and brighten any pit area.

Takashima D-13 multi functional TC set up system

Takashima D-13 have released this multi functional set up system for 1/10 touring. The set allows the user to check the camber of their car, check the car’s balance and even allows you to assemble your car tweak free. All made from carbon to keep things lightweight, the camber gauge can check 1, 1.5, 2 and 2.5 degrees. The gauges do triple duty as they are used alongside the carbon tweak rod to press down on the top deck during assembly and they are also used to support the tweak rod when in the balance mode. The rod is pushed through two adjustable carbon brackets which in turn are attached to the car’s shock tower and when hanging freely you can see the car’s balance and adjust accordingly.
