Avid TLR 22X-4 carpet carbon conversion

The Avid TLR 22X-4 carpet carbon conversion has everything you need to get your wheeler feeling more consistent in the turns as well as the jumps. It starts with their ultra-low shock towers that lower your CG while also closer matching the up travel needed since the outer diameter of carpet tires is smaller than their dirt counterpart, which the car was originally designed for. Next, the TLR team has learned that raising the rear diff with the +2mm kit shims helps on high bite to keep the dog bones level with the lower ride heights being used. So Avid made an extra thick rear chassis brace to go in conjunction with this setup which adds the thickness of the shim from the kit making the chassis more rigid. This not only improves the consistency of the car but it also allows it to land smoother. Then the last piece of the conversion is the Avid top deck, it limits the front flex which substantially improves the jumping/landing of the car while also allowing the front end to be more precise and less twitchy. Parts are available now individually or in a complete set.

JConcepts Mini-T 2.0 & B Fin titanium turnbuckle set

JConcepts have produced a titanium Fin turnbuckle set for the Losi Mini-T 2.0 & Mini-B. The base of the design is centered around a 4mm titanium hex size which gradually tapers down into a 2.5mm thread base design which accepts the standard Losi Mini-T and Mini-B ball-cup configuration. The focus of the styling surrounds the lengthened adjustment hex area and the ‘finned’ cut 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 for ease of adjustment. The #2975 has another feature, a black colouring which gives the stealthiest look in the pits and on the track.
