JConcepts Vintage 4/40 thumb nuts

JConcepts has added these Vintage 4/40 thumb nuts to cater for the 1:10 Offroad vintage market as vintage vehicles requiring battery hold down options too.  Over the years, the possibilities have opened with the introduction of Lipo batteries to vintage vehicles, securing them in the vehicle is now easier than ever.  Instead of using screws with washers in vehicles such as the RC10 and RC10T, the thumb nuts are an easier way to install and remove battery packs quickly and securely.  The package contains 2 aluminium and knurled nuts which are designed to press down and into most battery brace applications.  Also included, 5/8” long set screws to install into the battery cups or buckets prior to installation of the thumb nuts.

Mugen Seiki MSB1 updated Top Deck & Diff Gears

Mugen Seiki has released a number of updated parts for its MSB1 1:10 2WD Buggy.  A new Top Plate features a redesigned shape to avoid rod interference when using the optional servo weight plate.  Having entered the 1:10 2WD Buggy market for the very first time earlier this year with the release of the MSB1, the Japanese manufacturer has also updated the gear set for the ball diff.  By reducing the diameter of the gear part of the B2301D, the rotation of the gearbox has become smoother.  The gear differential has also been redesigned to improve oil leakage from the B2302A/B.  For identification purposes, the new gears will be grey in colour.
