Introducing 1up Racing’s no-compromise entry into the HD turnbuckle market, the new Pro Duty titanium turnbuckles. Available in raw titanium or 7 premium finishes for the Associated B6.3, B74.1 and DR10 as well as the TLR 22 5.0, 22X-4 and 22S, there will be more sizes arriving later this winter. Pro Duty Turnbuckles are Made in Taiwan using aerospace grade titanium by skilled aerospace machinists. They have selected the best possible Grade 5 6AL4V raw titanium so we can use less of it for an ultra lightweight and minimal design. A Pro Duty 3.5mm turnbuckle is 51% lighter than a TLR 3.5mm turnbuckle, and 24% lighter than an AE 3mm turnbuckle. These turnbuckles also feature the smartest centre lug in the industry. Turn towards the short side to shorten the link, or towards the long side to lengthen the link. Now you can make trackside adjustments for friends with confidence. Finished using a triple polished method that creates brilliant chrome-like turnbuckles, these look great on their own and serve as the perfect base for stunning anodised finishes with unmatched depth and shine.

JConcepts’ S2 body line up has been expanded to include the Schumacher Cougar LD2 buggy. Slammed overall height allows the S2 to whisk through the turns with a low centre of mass while the progressive cab design provides plenty of front-end force for superior balance and steering. A channeled roof directs the flow through the centre of the body while also increasing the rigidity of cockpit. The dual side-window design that has become famous on the JConcepts bodies remains to bring a traditional feel to the layout. The upper side-pods feature distinct vents used to help relieve hot air build-up inside the body for those high-powered runs or hot days at the track. Carved and detailed side-pods edge the body giving the highly aero unit a stylish look with a tight fit and finish. Included with the clear body shell come two S-Type wings as well as window masks and a decal sheet.

Team Bomber have added two additions to their line up of HQ S-line side springs with the release of new pink and brown versions. The pink version is now the hardest spring in this range, with the brown the softest. HQ side springs are best suited for a wide range of popular carpets, high-grip road surfaces and conditions where a solid diff is used. The result of a close cooperation with a Japanese spring manufacturer with testing and technical capabilities they found that the taper of the springs helps reduce on power traction loss during cornering when using a differential. Made with high quality materials, the number of winds of each spring and all their dimensions have been carefully checked to ensure consistency and the best end product.
