JConcepts YZ-2 series titanium turnbuckles

JConcepts have introduced their Fin titanium turnbuckle sets for the Yokomo YZ-2 DTM 3.0 and CAL3 2WD buggies. The base of the design is centred around a .143” titanium hex size which gradually tapers down into a 3mm thread base design which accepts the standard Yokomo ball-cup configuration. The focus of the styling surrounds the lengthened adjustment hex area and the “finned” cuts that rotate about the centre. The turnbuckles are lightweight, and the original “Fin” design brings out the glamour and quality that makes titanium one of the most sought-after exotic materials in the world. The JConcepts turnbuckles are produced with left- and right-hand threads with the left being conveniently marked for easy orientation. The sets, that are available for the DTM 3.0 and CAL3, also have another feature, a black colouring which gives the stealthiest look in the pits and on the track.

Roche P12 Evo World’s Limited Edition Conversion Kit

Coming from Roche and made for their World Championship winning Rapide P12 1/12th pan car platform is the World’s Limited Edition Conversion Kit. Developed with the forthcoming 2020 IFMAR Worlds in mind, the set includes the optional aluminium motor mount set designed by UK factory driver Ollie Payne. The new design motor mount is not only much stronger but also lighter and it offers a lower centre of gravity, meaning the car carries much more corner speed and it is easier to drive in high traction conditions. Also includes in the aluminium lower pod set. The new lower pod plates amend the weight balancing when running a solid axle, offering easier acceleration and constant driving feeling. The new “sliding” pivot block and pivot ball mount made by Derlin and 7075 aluminium are more reliable, whilst also creating more traction, again making for a more consistent and easy to drive car.
