Hasi Tuned C804 & IF18 carbon body mounts

More new lightweight carbon body mounts from Hasi Tuned, this time for the Capricorn C804 and Infinity IF18. Compared to the standard kit versions this body mount is very stiff and due to its special shape makes the rear of your car very stable, especially on high speed tracks. The mount for both cars are available in standard height as well as an optional version that lifts the rear of the body by an additional 2mm (IF18) & 2.4mm (C804), improving the cornering even more. Made in Italy the set includes all the necessary parts to complete the conversion.

JConcepts continue with their vintage car part releases and one part that brings the originality of the RC10, RC10B2, and RC10B3 together is the original length front axle.

JConcepts RC10 Mono wheels

JConcepts supports the vintage RC enthusiast with the release of new Mono wheels. The original offset front and rear wheels for the RC10, RC10B2 and RC10B3 have been highly sought-after for years by drivers looking to outfit a restoration project or racers actively racing their vehicles. The 2.2” Mono wheels are inspired by the originals, feature the iconic dish shape with the rear wheels utilising the pin drive setup for 3/16” axles while the fronts accept a non-flanged 3/16 x 3/8” bearing. JConcepts has taken the liberty of increasing the wheel width to the inside in order to accommodate today’s race tires. The wheels include a vent hole on the outer diameter and an added outer “catch” to reduce the ability for glue to run down the face of the wheel during application and curing. Mono wheels are available in bright white and fluorescent racing yellow and packaged 4 pieces per pack.
