Other features include front and rear anti-roll bars, dust-proof RC and receiver boxes, an additional battery box for weight bias adjustment and also a 984-specification 2-speed gearbox for exceptional traction. The kit is rounded out by a lightweight 4-shoe clutch with Nickel-plated Ergal clutch bell.

JConcepts have announced the release of their popular Octagons 2.2” buggy tyres in Aqua compound. Developed for high-bite slick tyre racing, the tyre features a heavy X-pattern style inner ribbing for increased support while the continuous thickness carcass is light-weight and utilises the industry standard 2.2” mounting bead. Like the name suggests, the embossed tread which is Octagon-shaped is repeated and overlapped to form a subculture of grippy surface edges for dry or abrasive surfaces. The main surface of the tyre has the reliable slick and smooth surface which grips conditions as expected from a JConcepts tire. The Octagons are available as 2WD front, 4WD front and 2WD/4WD rear variant in aqua, green, black, and indoor clay, gold compounds to match just about any racing surface. Each package includes the Dirt-Tech insert.
