Hasi Tuned 7 & 9 port .21 Onroad engines

Hasi Tuned, the engine tuning brand set-up by top international Swiss onroad racer Silvio Hächler, has released two new .21 Onroad engines.  Available in 7 or 9 port variations, the engines are totally new with the key difference over the previous version being new high dissipation and low density aluminium cooling head, to combine functionality and lightweight.  Also new is the crankshaft, with revised timing and balancing. There is also new piston and liner with high compression piston. The design of the ports has been revised to combine performance and reliability.  A new reinforced conrod completes the updates.  Each engine will have its own dedicated sleeve, which will be perfectly honed inside the crankcase, avoiding dangerous vibrations.  Like every Hasi engine, they are numbered one by one and accompanied by a certificate of guarantee and authenticity and the useful engine book.

JConcepts Recon 1:8 Offroad Tyre

JConcepts has introduced their latest 1:8 Offroad tyre, the Recon, in both Buggy and Truggy sizes.  Reaching into a new bag of tricks,  they had a vision and created a new tire during the 2022 racing season.  The Recon works and performs unlike many other tyres on the market by utilising a horizontal design that works more in a flapping and paddle movement.  The horizontal bars are grouped together in diamond patterns and staggered to produce ghost sectional compartments.  Once built together, the ghost sections appear as large X spaces repeated over the entire tyre body.
