JConcepts B6.2 front wing & 7″ carpet / astro wing

Posted: 10 Dec 2020 08:59 AM PST

JConcepts have released two new wings for 1/10th scale offroad, with a new front wing specific to the B6.2 and a 7″ carpet / astro wing. JConcepts, together with their pro racing team of drivers, developed an additional high-performance, lower front wing. It features a high-attack design with trim-able rear gurney options. The wing attaches to the standard Team Associated front wing mount on the B6.2 which is mounted directly to the front shock tower. Cut lines are included for easy trimming while dimples are located on the wing itself to indicate where to mount to the wing on the vehicle. The leading centre section of the wing has been formed into a unique V-shape to perfectly flow and manoeuvre around the camber links and tower or front shocks.

A new High-Clearance Wing has been developed and manufactured by JConcepts Inc. The 7” wide HCW incorporates a short-chord design for quick rotation and a flat-base which provides more tire clearance. As the carpet and Astroturf conditions become more prevalent, racers have asked for a specific 7” rear wing. The durable design has chopped rear corners for rigidity plus a traditional rear trim-line for a great balance of down-force and low-drag. The side-dams of the wing feature hard radius cut-outs which allow even more tire rear expansion and flex space. JConcepts designers Paul Wynn and Fred Reep added dual stability fangs which also help boost the front to rear structure. The rear of the wing still maintains a high-angle to vertical rear dam to give drivers a straight-forward layout suited to high-speed circuits.

Ruddog Racing RP542 brushless motors

Posted: 10 Dec 2020 06:43 AM PST

Next in the competition-oriented line of Ruddog Racing products is the new RP542 range of high-performance brushless motors. After many hours of testing, research and development, many evolutionary steps have been made in many fields. Stack design has been revised to improve drivability, and a new high-precision sensor is used to increase performance and efficiency. The Ruddog design team has gone to lengths to lower operational temperature. Large openings in the housing lower the overall weight of the RP542 motors and ensure optimum airflow, while a ribbed stator collector ring is used to improve heat dissipation. Rotors are optimised for their respective field of application. Modified motors come with a 12.1 mm x 5 mm x 24.5 mm rotor, while stock motors are equipped with a 12.5 mm x 7.15 mm x25.8 mm rotor.

Sunpadow Platin 1S competition LiPo pack

Posted: 10 Dec 2020 12:53 AM PST

Sunpadow announces the launch of this Platin series 3.7V 8000mAh pack which is an ultra-thin, low centre-of-gravity lithium battery for racing. Specially developed for the 1/12th modified class, which consists of 8-minute races, it features a large capacity, weighs just 159 grams and is 93 x 47 x 18.5mm. Excellent discharge capability ensures a stable voltage supply for racing, especially for the last one or two minutes of the race, where the voltage is usually very low, minimising the risk of any shutdown of your electronics, which is caused by excessive instantaneous voltage drop from the large current output in 1S applications.
