The JConcepts metal car stand is perfect for the 1/8th or 1/10th racer looking to add a little sturdiness to their racing program.

The item stands tall and keeps the wheels off the ground for an array of vehicles. Included in the design, the upper deck has pre-cut holes into the material to act as a shock stand for 1/8th or 1/10th off-road shocks. Included foam for the top deck and legs help cushion and protect the chassis of vehicles, shocks, and table or pit area. The textured metal surface is available in blue or black anodising with a luxurious high-end look to finish off any pit area with a JConcepts touch.

JConcepts’ Swagger 4wd front tire has a multitude of heights and angular ribs for corner speed, consistency and straight-line tracking ability. Now, the Swagger is available pre-mounted for serious racers lusting for a professionally mounted package.

JConcepts has added side-wall ribs in a circular pattern to the exterior of the tire to support high-grip racing. The pink compound marked with 2 pink dots on the tire represents a new compound for JConcepts, a medium soft material with good wear characteristics.

Avid B6.3 Arm Mount C wider -2°

The new Avid B6.3 -2° C arm mount is a must-have if you are racing on high bite surfaces such as carpet or turf. This mount frees up the vehicle in the turns and when landing jumps sideways such as corner tabletops. To get to the low rear toe settings you need on carpet, you have to start narrowing the pills through the D Mount which is increasing side bite by decreasing your track width. This C Arm mount prevents that from happening by widening the C Arm Mount 1.4mm, thus starting you at 1 deg of rear toe with centered pills on the C and D mount instead of 3.
