JConcepts React 2.2″ 2wd & 4wd rear open cell inserts

JConcepts have come with their React 2.2″ 2wd & 4wd rear open cell inserts. One common adjustment made during carpet and turf racing is altering the rear tire insert. One of the recent trends is utilising a narrower rear insert while racing on carpet and turf, which has shown to produce different handling characteristics. The narrower design leaves more room for sidewall plunge providing more side-bite. In addition, the insert is low-profile, tight, and compact so the tire maintains its small shape for quick and nimble transition and acceleration.

MonacoRC Medium bag V2 red zip

Continuing to renew their entire line up of bags/cases, MonacoRC have released the ‘red zip’ version of their new Medium bag V2. This bag is 2cm taller than the MonacoRC Medium bag V2 and completely customised inside with an all over print of the MonacoRC Logo. This latest version is distinguished not only by its height but also by the red zippers. Tool bag in general allows for the transportation of SkyRC type tyre warmers but thanks to its foam insert it becomes the ideal choice to carry the Icharge Duo 406 together with its charging cables. Currently there are foam inserts available for the Icharge Duo 406 as well as one for transporting batteries.
