Smokem Racing R12 roll centre shim sets

Smokem Racing introduce their new carbon fibre roll centre shim sets for the ARC R12. Available in 1.0mm and 1.5mm versions, the shims are used to raise the R12 suspension arm mounts, allowing roll centres to be raised in larger increments without stacking multiple shims. Raising the roll centre releases the car from excessive grip through a corner, allowing for improved flow and corner speed. Features a unique design that allows the same shim to be used under all 1-piece toe blocks.

JConcepts B6.2 front wing & 7″ carpet / astro wing

JConcepts have released two new wings for 1/10th scale offroad, with a new front wing specific to the B6.2 and a 7″ carpet / astro wing. JConcepts, together with their pro racing team of drivers, developed an additional high-performance, lower front wing. It features a high-attack design with trim-able rear gurney options. The wing attaches to the standard Team Associated front wing mount on the B6.2 which is mounted directly to the front shock tower. Cut lines are included for easy trimming while dimples are located on the wing itself to indicate where to mount to the wing on the vehicle. The leading centre section of the wing has been formed into a unique V-shape to perfectly flow and manoeuvre around the camber links and tower or front shocks.

Ruddog Racing RP542 brushless motors

Next in the competition-oriented line of Ruddog Racing products is the new RP542 range of high-performance brushless motors. After many hours of testing, research and development, many evolutionary steps have been made in many fields. Stack design has been revised to improve drivability, and a new high-precision sensor is used to increase performance and efficiency. The Ruddog design team has gone to lengths to lower operational temperature. Large openings in the housing lower the overall weight of the RP542 motors and ensure optimum airflow, while a ribbed stator collector ring is used to improve heat dissipation. Rotors are optimised for their respective field of application. Modified motors come with a 12.1 mm x 5 mm x 24.5 mm rotor, while stock motors are equipped with a 12.5 mm x 7.15 mm x25.8 mm rotor.
