VRP XV3 XB2/XB4 series shock pistons

Vision Racing Products have announced the release of their long-awaited XV3 shock pistons for the Xray XB2 and XB4 based 1/10th scale off-road vehicles. Available as Black Flat and EU version white variants, the pistons come complete with the transition valve pre-installed. The rebound booster hole has been precision drilled to the exact size VRP’s testing found to be the best all around setting. This yields excellent results that are proven on a variety of track surfaces; from rough, blown out tracks, to smooth, indoor clay. The difference between the Black Flat and the EU White pistons is the return rate. The return hole in the EU is smaller then the Black and gives less rebound. This matches up better for higher grip surfaces like carpet and turf. The pistons are available in ten different hole diameter specifications from now on.

JConcepts BAJR V2 sand rail body shell

JConcepts have introduced their new BAJR V2 sand rail body shell for Slash 2WD and 4×4 trucks. Pronounced badger, the round Baja-esque profile of the cab area gives that familiar desert appearance. As the design develops toward the rear, the pronounced roof stabilising fin is large and in charge and rear deck area makes this body unmistakably JConcepts. An included rear wing with hardware adds rear downforce and aggressive sand throwing looks. The BAJR V2 is all about being unique, competition ready and concept inspired. The body fits the Traxxas Slash 2WD and 4×4 as well as equivalent vehicles and it can be run with a multitude of tyre styles. As usual the body comes clear, including window masks and a decal sheet.

PerfTec GraviDisk Tungsten balance weights

Dutch company PerfTec have introduced their new GraviDisk Tungsten balance weights. Designed for the use with pretty much every on-road and off-road car, the weights are of a very compact design that could be achieved by using high-density Tungsten metal, a material that offers about double the density of bronze and 2.5-times the density of steel, meaning at the same weight of a bronze or steel weight, Tungsten weights are significantly smaller, allowing for easier placement and less wasted chassis space. The basic disc design was chosen to simplify production of the unique metal in order to keep the discs affordable for racers of all levels. The weight discs have an outside diameter of 13mm and are available in two heights: 2.5mm, weighing 6g and 4.0mm, weighing in at 9.5g a piece. The stackable weights feature an inner 3mm hole, making attachment to chassis plates using spare chassis holes a breeze. The GraviDisk weights come as 2-piece sets of the same dimension/weight or as 4-piece set containing two of each weight. The set also includes stainless steel M3 mounting hardware in the form of countersunk screws and self-locking nuts – all packed in a handy stackable box that can be re-used for storing all sorts of RC hardware.
