Ruddog cleaning brush

Posted: 03 Nov 2020 06:50 AM PST

When it comes to cleaning your favourite RC car from dust or tire debris, everyone needs a cleaning brush in their toolbox. While you could just get one from your local hardware store, Ruddog Product’s new round cleaning brush ticks all the boxes of RC racers and its red. At a length of 200mm, it fits into virtually every pit bag. Its 40mm bristles are stiff enough for removing persistent dirt from the creases and corners of your race car or rock crawler. The shiny, grease-resistant handle has an ergonomic shape and rounded out with the Ruddog logo for good looks.

JConcepts Tremor SCT wheels

Posted: 03 Nov 2020 12:48 AM PST

JConcepts have introduced their all new Tremor wheels for the 2.2 x 3.0” SCT wheel design. The Tremor is a 2-piece 12mm hex wheel assembly that allows different colour combinations between the mock bead lock and the main wheel structure. Having the wheels all one powerful colour or split matchups is now possible and allows the user even more colour combinations than ever before. The Tremor has 2 widths, the front, which is narrow and the rear which is interchangeable and standard for many platforms and vehicles on the market including the Slash 2wd and 4×4. The interlocked look of the 5-star pattern is highly sought-after by the 1:1 fanatics and the strength built inside is, of course, RC basher approved. The outer faux bead lock looks real and has a notch and cut-out pattern appearing very industrial while the bead lock has multiple location bosses which align with heavy recessed areas in the wheel.

Associated B74.1 drivetrain option parts

Posted: 02 Nov 2020 02:28 PM PST

Some new option parts are available now from Team Associated for the RC10B74.1 and RC10B74.1D buggy. Replace steel CVA cups with light-weight aluminium or tune the slipper clutch power delivery with the 3-Pad Conversion. Replace the centre CVA cups with these Factory Team 7075 aluminium versions over the kit steel type to shed rotating weight (4.7 grams) for faster acceleration. The 3-Pad slipper conversion is a complete parts set to change a RC10B74.1 slipper from the kit 2-pad slipper to a 3-pad slipper clutch. The kit design is a 11mm I.D. pad with a heavy 500lb/in spring, ideal for high-load carpet, while the 3-pad conversion is a standard 19mm I.D. pad with a softer spring, which delivers a smoother throttle feel with slower engagement for racers wanting a softer clutch feel.

JConcepts JCI M117 Lloyd body

Posted: 02 Nov 2020 01:04 PM PST

The new JCI M117 Lloyd body by JConcepts is the definition of square body design with plenty of room underneath its large footprint for an assortment of accessories, electrical, transmission and suspension layouts. The M117 has a military side and once detailed with included distressed stars, JConcepts logos, headlight and grille, the new body transforms a rig in to a battle tested utility truck. With a lot of popular 12.3” wheelbase trucks on the market, the JConcepts team focused on the Lloyd being versatile enough to top the best rigs in the market. With large flange fenders the shell makes space for large tires which produce the best grip, flex and allow articulation. The straight panel layout, with recessed and ridged details help the body maintain its strong physique. Work your way up the almost 90 degree windshield angle is a chore but scale inspired cab and canvas like top with heavily bordered windows is what makes the M117 a classic.
