JConcepts introduces this servo mount brace for the B6.3 line of vehicles. Constructed of light-weight aluminium, it has been a staple to racer’s vehicles going back to previous generation vehicles. The simple and sleek design with performance and tracking advantages have spoken volumes throughout the years on the racetrack. The mount fits snug inside the chassis servo mounting area increasing the support while the 2 screw mounting locations are beefy in design and zeroed in for a direct mount to the chassis. The brace has locations on each side for included 3x6mm set screws to help align and maintain servo position during racing conditions, crashes, and hard hits. The set screws are intended to touch-off against the servo case and provide additional support retaining the servo in the intended position which helps maintain consistent steering trim. The servo mount brace can be installed without any modifications or additional equipment in B6.3 vehicles. With a sleek wrap-around design, luster of aluminium, and etched JConcepts.net logo, the brace adds consistency, performance tune-ability with aesthetic appeal. Available in black or blue.

JConcepts intends to start the new season with a fresh outlook while continuing a ‘Forward Pursuit’ in the RC industry. The team will be donning a fresh leather patch hat in 2022 thanks to a fresh new graphic design from the central Florida based company. Hats are everyone’s best friend, especially with a total of 4 different variations available. When it comes to the leather patched logo, the lightning bolts release from the centre of the design, stirring up quite a bit of emotion. The hard circle boundary allows plenty of flow for branding, factory push, and calendar racing year. Of course, World Champion wording signifies the ultimate success. The 4 hat styles include a black or grey flat-bill panel and black or grey/white round-bill mesh.
