For the Mugen MBX8, JConcepts released this Fin titanium turnbuckle set. The base of the turnbuckle design is centred on a beefy 5mm square of titanium (camber and steering links) which gradually tapers down into a thread base design which accepts the rod ends featured in the kit. The focus of the styling surrounds the lengthened adjustment area and the ‘finned’ cuts that rotate about the centre. The set also includes the 3mm Fin Titanium steering drag link for a complete look and finish to outfit the kit. The JConcepts turnbuckles are produced with left- and right-hand threads with the left being conveniently marked for easy orientation.

SWorkz S35-GT2e 1/8 GT Brushless racing kit

Having introduced the Nitro powered version of their GT2 platform 2 weeks ago, S-Workz have today released their latest EP powered GT platform, the S35-GT2e. The follow up to their Double World Championship winning chassis, and like its Nitro counterpart, it is designed as a thoroughbred racing machine for GT Onroad Racing. It has a brand new designed front and rear suspension, while the Ackerman steering geometry was adopted from the 1/8 S35-4 buggy. Sporting a weight-optimised, hard anodised chassis plate made of high-strength T7075 aluminium, the wide layout of the rear axle, developed in numerous tests by their works drivers, is also used on the S35-GT2.

The HET differentials developed by SWorkz are also included in the kit and offer traction that is not possible with other systems. Featuring a flat front and rear shock arrangement, the shock absorbers have been optimised for this new arrangement. The suspension brackets, included with square inserts, allow the axle geometry to be adapted to any track layout. The front and rear wishbones are made of a newly developed composite material and the side pans have also been redesigned.
