Rêve D ultra lightweight M4 nut

Rêve D have introduced their large-diameter ultra-lightweight M4 serrated nut, optimised for the rear of the car. Their original RD-013 nuts have been well received as being ideal for the front, these are their new rear specific competition M4 nuts. Increasing the diameter of the flanged part helps to control some of the lateral forces applied to the wheel mounting point, helping to improve side bite. The hexagonal dimensions are still 5.5mm which is the same as RD-013 in order to use the same box wrench for both front and rear.

JConcepts 1968 Pontiac Firebird Pro shell

JConcepts begins to stretch its legs in the Drag Racing scene with the introduction of the new Pontiac Firebird. The new 1968 styled body dubbed, ‘The Machine’ has been an immediate hit on and off the race track and prototyped and driven by JConcepts drivers across the United States. The Firebird has a long silhouette allowing an even displacement of downforce over the front and rear end helping the body gain grip where needed. When a driver makes initial throttle response, the over-hang in the rear and built-in rear side-dams help the vehicle gain forward traction and launch stability. Getting up to speed with ‘The Machine’ is possible with the low-slung roof-line which handles the at-speed handling. The large lay-down front windshield cuts through the wind like a fighter jet while the recessed side-windows provide just enough visibility for a Pro Mod.

Yokomo R160 & R100 Drift spec speed controller

Yokomo have released a special version of the R160 / R100 speed controller, which is explosively popular due to its smooth throttle feeling, equipped with an original program dedicated to drifting, called ‘Drift Spec’ added. Many users have already installed the conventional R series in drift cars, and especially in RWD drift cars as it seems that the ease of handling in the low speed range and torque can brought out by changing the program, but in the Drift Spec, this is done by default. In addition to optimising the throttle feeling for drift driving, the delay time when shifting from braking to reverse by throttle operation has also been modified, making it even easier to use for drift driving. Of course, if you use with the dedicated programmer R26P, you can easily change the feeling to bring out the optimum characteristics according to the driving conditions and the driver’s preference.
