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.

Nathobuilds expands their line-up of battery straps with the introduction of versions for the Xray XB2’20 and the Yokomo YZ-2 DTM3 2wd buggy. While both versions are made from carbon fibre, the Xray version uses a different system with upper tabs to keep the battery in place, while the Yokomo version instead uses 2 large o-rings. Both versions offer a range of adjustability in terms of battery position within the mount and both kits include all fasteners required to complete the conversion.

These newly introduced aluminium eccentric inserts for Awesomatix by LCG Racing are designed and developed to reduce play in both the longitudinal and the horizontal direction.

Furthermore, the optimised fit of the bearings make the drivetrain smoother. They are made of high quality 7075 Aluminium, are anodised in gun metal grey to match the looks of the car and protect its surface and come in sets of two.

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.

Experience the thrill of arena monster truck action wherever you bash with the Axial SMT10 Monster Truck RAW builder’s kit. The rugged, straight-axle 4wd chassis provides the perfect platform for your choice of body, tires and electronics. Axial designers went all out when creating the SMT10 monster truck chassis and roll cage. Very similar to a full-size Monster Jam truck chassis, the SMT10 tube frame was developed for maximum strength and has an extremely realistic appearance. It provides a variety of shock mounting points for suspension tuning options, with additional mounting points on the cage and at the axle for moving the shocks to a more scale, vertical position if desired. Mated to the proven Axial AR60 axle, its 4-link suspension soaks up any obstacles in its path. The included AX10 transmission is designed to make the most of your motor’s power. Its Dual Pad slipper system features a pad on each side of the spur gear to increase surface area, resulting in improved tuning precision and holding ability, while strong 32-pitch gearing enhances performance in high-torque applications. Supplied with 2.2 monster truck wheels, a helmet set and chrome zoomie style headers
