LCG Racing BD10 narrow style top deck

LCG Racing is busy adding more optionals for popular electric touring cars to their portfolio. The latest is the narrow style carbon fibre top deck for the Yokomo BD10. The flex-design top deck is of a very narrow design in the front area, increasing the chassis’ torsional front flex for increased steering, yet an easier to drive car. However flex in the rear area is greatly reduced due to a smaller cut-out which allows for better on-power stability. The fully symmetrical narrow style top deck is machined from high-quality 2.0mm carbon fibre and it provides for a balanced flex characteristic needed for today’s generation of touring cars and it is a direct fit.

JConcepts Regulator Clod Buster chassis conversion kit

Coming from JConcepts is their new Regulator chassis conversion kit for the popular Tamiya Clod Buster rigid axle monster truck. A deep passion for monster truck racing and performance brought JConcepts full circle with the design of the Regulator Stage 2 chassis conversion kit. The design team had several design goals including weight balance, low centre of mass, the use of engineering materials and pinpoint adjustability to fully compliment one of the longest running vehicles in the RC industry. The Regulator focuses on allowing other existing RC components to work alongside of the design such as readily available body designs, shocks, wheels, tires and behind axle servo conversion kits. The key to the Regulator is the positioning of the battery and electronics in a top access layout and placed deep into the chassis for a low centre of gravity. The fibreglass chassis and bottom plates hold the retro straight rail frame physique and at the base of the chassis, the heavy-duty aluminium cradle supports the suspension and ladder bars. In addition, a brass weight is included for racing in a sanctioned competition where a weight limit is used to even the playing field even further. The brass weight is mounted at an incredibly low position and locks into the cradle which aligns perfectly with the low centre of gravity concept.
