JConcepts now has a fresh take on the tool holder that displays well, fits in to pit space conveniently and places the tools in a more ergonomic position. The multi-piece item also has a storage mode and can quickly be disassembled to easily be tucked away during travel. The tool holder starts with a CNC machined base that boasts pockets to place miscellaneous items during a typical race day. The base has extended features that allow for the carbon fibre legs to lock in to place for a healthy footing. The component which holds the tools is a beefy and detailed CNC machined plate which has 5 different bored locations for your tools. There are several highlighted pockets to remove weight and to give the most trick look possible. The all billet aluminium and carbon fibre assembly has an additional touch of authenticity. The black anodised aluminium tool holder has silver chamfered highlights and laser etched JC logos to top off the assembly and brighten any pit area.

JConcepts has arrived at the ROAR carpet off-road nationals this week with their latest body for the Team Associated B6.4. The F2 body with an all new platform specifically to fit the B6.4 chassis shape has undergone several other updates. The F2 has an all new lower profile cab delivering knockout looks and performance. More improvements include following the chassis shape extremely close in the rear along with a tight and precise fit around new top-deck and lower chassis shape. More clearance has been added around the spur gear guard and additional width for optional 3 pad slipper assembly. New trim lines throughout make for a nicer fitting body with a slim front nose to fit just under the front shock tower and along the front bulkhead. The rear side-pods have also been simplified to allow smoother driving characteristics and more room for decal placement. The F2 Low-Profile body for the B6.4 will include two Carpet / Turf / Dirt wings, window masks and decal sheet.

Takashima D-13 have released this multi functional set up system for 1/10 touring. The set allows the user to check the camber of their car, check the car’s balance and even allows you to assemble your car tweak free. All made from carbon to keep things lightweight, the camber gauge can check 1, 1.5, 2 and 2.5 degrees. The gauges do triple duty as they are used alongside the carbon tweak rod to press down on the top deck during assembly and they are also used to support the tweak rod when in the balance mode. The rod is pushed through two adjustable carbon brackets which in turn are attached to the car’s shock tower and when hanging freely you can see the car’s balance and adjust accordingly.
