T-Works nitro engine pressure box

Coming from T-Works and made for most nitro-engine-powered vehicles is their new pressure box.

JConcepts Tactic street eliminator wheels in chrome

JConcepts continue to bring the chrome, with the announcement of the new colour variant of their Tactic street eliminator wheels. Previously only available in black, the Tactic wheels are direct replacements and upgrades for the Associated DR10. The heavy spoke design and 1:1 influence impose their will on the competition. The front wheel design extends to the outer edges giving the wheel a larger look while the rear style has a mock bead lock appearance and hefty lug detail. The inner ribbing spreads like the roots of a tree to secure the inner 12mm hub geometry. The front Tactic wheels feature a 2.2” size which match to just about any existing buggy tire on the market while the rear wheel features a beefy, SCT 2.2” x 3.0” size and fit any SCT tire already produced. The wheels fit a vast number of vehicles for anyone looking to undertake a Street Eliminator project and accept a 12mm hex drive. Popular vehicles which use the Tactic wheels include, the Traxxas Slash, Bandit, Rustler as well as the popular line-up of Team Associated short course trucks and the purpose built DR10.
