Two new High-Clearance wings available pre-trimmed has been developed and manufactured by JConcepts Inc. The 6.5” and 7” wide HCW incorporates a short-chord design for quick rotation and a flat-base which provides more tire clearance. As the carpet, Astroturf, and high-traction dirt conditions become more prevalent, racers have asked for specific 6.5” & 7”rear wings. The durable and pre-trimmed design has chopped rear corners for rigidity plus a traditional lower-level gurney that is achievable for even less drag over large jumps. The side-dams of the wing feature hard radius cut-outs which allow even more tire rear expansion and flex space. JConcepts designers Paul Wynn and Fred Reep added dual stability fangs which also help boost the front to rear structure. The rear of the wing still maintains a high-angle to vertical rear dam to give drivers a straight-forward layout suited to high-speed circuits. The HCW is a direct bolt-on piece for most 1/10th buggies and includes one pre-trimmed wing per package.

Reflex Racing have released their GLR GT brass chassis, for the 1/28th GL Racing GT. Designed to increase stability, keep the car flatter and make it more consistent over a full run, they have achieved this by moving the weight bias of the car further forward by scalloping the battery area and making the front section wider. They also have finished the chassis in a slick, black coating with laser engraved Reflex logo and have chamfered the edges of the contact areas to reduce friction and make the chassis really pop.

The team spent a lot of time testing and developing the MBX8R geometry in race conditions throughout 2021, which lead to many major victories, with Ryan Maifield winning The Dirt Nitro Challenge, Silver State Nitro Challenge and ROAR 1/8th Fuel Nationals all in the same year. The MBX8R has many new parts to increase stability, rear traction, improved jumping, and have a wide tuning range. The buggy uses new narrow RF (C) and RR (D) pivot blocks with new pivot inserts for increased tune-ability. Further updates include longer box-shaped suspension arms and arm stiffeners, with the rear arm using an impact resistant material for increased durability. Adjusting the hardness of the lower suspension arms is possible with optional CFRP plates. The rear uprights are also new, the moulded uprights have CFRP plates to adjust rear roll centre. New front shock tower and upper front arm mount use new pivot inserts for increased tune-ability.
