Another new addition to the T-Works line of carrying cases, with the release of the large hard shell parts case. Featuring internal hard separators, it comes with enough to be able to divide the inside of the case to your liking. The case itself features a tool pocket with zipper compartment in the lid and an adjustable support belt to prevent the lid from fold backwards. Outside it uses a splash proof material, high quality zippers, a comfortable handle and a removable shoulder strap. Another neat features is that the back of the case has a luggage handle slot, meaning it can be easily stacked on top of a roller bag, held in place by its retractable handle.

The multi-step tread pins on the Ibex are spaced out perfectly to dig into every possible edge on the rock face to give you an advantage over the competition.

Inspired by Pro-Line’s popular all-terrain Trencher tread, this tire is ready for anything the terrain might throw at you.

In some conditions in off-road racing, there is no denying that a slick tire is the fastest way around the track. Throughout the racing calendar year, there are several tracks where slicks in silver compound are the go-to tire. Indoor and occasionally outdoor clay surfaces become so tacky or free of dust and debris that a total slick tire is an advantage. For years drivers have sanded, ground and hand sculpted tires in search of that elusive slick carcass for racing, now, JConcepts has the Smoothie 2. Released as a 2.2” bead mounting diameter, the JConcepts Smoothie 2 mount straight to the latest generation wheels for that all important reactive feel. The carefully profiled slightly thickened tire carcass rolls through the turns with efficiency while the maximum smooth surface area grips the specialty surfaces like no other. The Smoothies include Dirt-Tech inserts which have made an immediate presence on the racing scene since their release. The identifiable grey colour with custom sculpted features, are blended into the insert material which provide racers a durable option capable of being used in medium to extremely high-traction conditions.
JConcepts together with Ryan Maifield and ace mechanic Mike Truhe had a goal before the ROAR Fuel Nationals of creating a rock guard capable of resisting larger debris from getting into the drivetrain on the MBX8 line of vehicles. An ultra-thin carbon fibre plate has been created to position over the rear driveshaft and diff outdrive to block items from entering from the top of the vehicle. Another small addition from JConcepts and RM2 can help save a truck body nosepiece from abuse. The detailed design of the light-weight carbon fibre nose-piece washer works in conjunction with the JConcepts F2 body and helps support across the entire section of the mounting flange area. Included hardware makes assembly and fit a breeze and once completed, looks factory and as custom as it gets.
