Arrowmax 4D setup system

Arrowmax is proud to present their all-new 4D setup system. Having the best and precise setup is one of the most important factors in winning races and setup systems allow you to comfortably measure and adjust camber, caster, toe-in/out, track width and steering throw symmetry. In the past year there has been a trend in touring car to move towards using the pivot ball system. With that in mind Arrowmax decided to innovate a completely new system to allow users to measure and adjust the caster angle comfortably. Another key element added is for users to measure the track width using the 4D setup system. The built-in ruler allows users to check the distance between the hexes, resulting in a much better understanding of their car setup. The reading of toe-in/out are now measured on the laser-engraved 7075 CNC body without the long and bulky acrylic plate. Giving a much precise measurement. The whole system is very small, light, and are designed with a purpose to improve the quality of life. Storage and transportation becomes less of a hassle.

Exotek TLR22 5.0 heavy duty 7075 alloy diff case

From Exotek comes another heavy duty machined 7075 alloy differential case, this time for the TLR 5.0 G2 diff. Perfect machined roundness makes for a free spinning transmission and a must have for high powered drag racing applications and extra internal machining allows for extra fluid to be added for increased fluid capacity and life. This is much stronger than the stock plastic diff gear but not indestructible so it is important to use black or white grease on the gears and reapply frequently to prolong its life.

JConcepts 1989 Ford Bronco MT body

JConcepts likes to lean on its roots, and dating back, there hasn’t been an RC monster truck version of the Ford Bronco available, until now. Starting with the F-150 and F-250 body shells already in the line-up, the JConcepts team dug into the Bronco project with some knowledge of the game. The 1989 Ford Bronco body built and fit for RC monster truck lovers offers first class styling and its exterior is accentuated with a smooth and molded front bumper. The 1989 Bronco carries over the same body style from the previous generation yet sports a new rounded front clip that improves vehicle aerodynamics over its predecessors. The softened body lines around the cab which transition to the Bronco’s rear roof seem very seamlessly and full of vintage grunt. Large fender flares around the wheel wells provide the scale monster truck look and clearance for JConcepts Racing Tires.

Team Associated RC10B6.4 Team Kit

Team Associated’s RC10B6.4 platform continues the trend of offering two kit configurations. Both kits include the next generation 13mm diameter big-bore shocks and springs to provide the ultimate in damping and stability. The larger diameter shocks reduce pressure inside the shock and minimise the effects of the shaft displacement. This allows the buggy to feel like it’s riding on an invisible cloud when you hit harsh jumps and landings. The chassis, front end, and steering system is optimised for running reduced caster and kickup, which excels on high speed, high grip surfaces. An updated steering system with adjustable height bellcranks helps racers minimise bumpsteer. In addition, the front suspension is equipped with new -1mm kingpin offset steering and caster blocks for smooth and predictable front end feel through the entire throw. The -1mm design pushes the steering pivot closer the centre of the front tire, keeping the front end flat through the entire steering throw.

Rêve D Revox RWD steering gyro

Rêve D’s first RWD drift servo gyro, called Revox, is finally ready for release. It features a new ‘gyro curve setting’ function, which following repeated tests in various situations with many different drift specific servos, enables the user to change the initial curve value in 6 stages according to skill, track surface conditions, track layout and so on. The optimum setting is simply made by clicking the setup switch. The aluminum case has a lightweight and compact design taking up very little space in the car. A programming card can be used to set all of the gyro curve functions, endpoint function and reverse switching.

JConcepts Landmines pre-mounted for Traxxas UDR

JConcepts now offer their Landmines performance scale tire for the Traxxas UDR. Available pre-mounted on the new Tremor Traxxas UDR front & rear wheel, which is also available seperately, the design starts with a robust carcass carefully shaped and sized for a multitude of conditions and capable of bashing those difficult courses while being down-to-earth enough to carry a scale appearance. The team spent considerable time with the split-block center design which has been sliced, stepped, and recessed for flexibility and contortion over sharp, loose, and polished surfaces. The Landmines have alternating solid and cavity pads which is ideal for transitioning from smooth dirt or pavement into dirt, mud, and rocky terrain. Moving toward the edges of the carcass, the tire has horizonal grippy pads with edge and channels to provide additional forward bite. Down within the tread, a lightning pattern, knob plots and connector bars pull the design together to work together at shallow and deep sinking positions. Once power is applied to the vehicle, the tread spacing opens which allows for deep digging, making it a great working tire in dirt and muddy conditions. As the tread rolls down the sidewall, a whole new course of tread and side-lugging is applied. A grippy radial ring provides a consistent rubber contact patch in high-speed conditions while in the vertical plane, new traction bars alternate between angular and island mapping for additional grip.
