JConcepts analog quick reference calipers

Posted: 12 Feb 2021 09:26 AM PST

Quick reference dimensions and size considerations are common place in the RC pit area. Racers have asked over and over for a small footprint item that is able to measure small spaces accurately and quickly. The quick reference callipers from JConcepts are analog based and capable to be locked into place to secure or save dimensions for later or to copy side-to-side. The all-aluminium built and anodised item, built from 4 pieces, is a very technical and precise piece. The quick reference tool has the ability to measure inside surfaces and outside surfaces depending on which end is chosen for use. A graduated scale is laser etched onto the item to allow the user to measure in .5mm increments. A thumbscrew allows the sliding plane to be locked into place for quick comparisons and reference distances. A display window is machined into the upper slide where dimensions are shown up to an overall length of 80mm.

Bittydesign have launched the Robox, an all new 1/12 Pan-Car body, the first from the Italian for this class. Making reference to a real LM race car, they took inspiration to design the lines of the shell and adapted them to the production needs, the phase of refinement taking several months to optimise every detail. Robox is a 1/12 Pan-Car body with a breathtaking look, the front nose so lowered with n new style never seen before, generating excellent cornering entry, while the lowered cabin and sides offer a modern and futuristic design.

Mugen MTC2 progressive shock springs

Posted: 12 Feb 2021 03:04 AM PST

New from Mugen for the MTC2 are a pair of new progressive shock springs. Compared to the standard springs, the steering and stability will be improved, especially on tracks with bumpy surface conditions. By using A2540 (7.0P) for the front and A2539 (6.5P) for the rear, the car rolls more smoothly and it increases the accuracy by turning into corner entrance. A2540 (7.0P) can be used for both front and rear, as well as for small tracks and also for stock motors.

JConcepts Mini-T 2.0 Carver & Sprinter tires

Posted: 12 Feb 2021 02:55 AM PST

JConcepts introduce a number of new items for the Losi Mini-T 2.0 & Mini-B starting with their new Carver front tire. Perfect for a variety of track surfaces. The sharp angular and directional ribs provide the ultimate in control and direction on the most common dry and wet condition surfaces. The compact tire body combined with the JConcepts firm foam inserts allow for precise steering input and response for the most consistent laps times available. Available unmounted and pre-mounted they come in ‘sticky green’ dirt compound and ‘pink’ carpet compound.

For the rear of the Mini-T 2.0 & Mini-B the Sprinter tire has square, angled pins that are stacked vertically to flex and fold evenly across the tire. Typically, a stacked tread will wear less and provide more forward bite while the aligned space helps rotation in the turns and gives a snappy release to square up quickly. Starting with the new tread, the team focused on durability and performance to bring a rear tire option to market that competes on loose surfaces which are wet or dusty. Again, available unmounted and pre-mounted they come in a variety of compounds.

Finally, the JConcepts Mono wheels are the latest accessory available for the Losi Mini-T 2.0 & Mini-B vehicles. The interchangeable front and rear wheels are a feature of the Mini-T 2.0 and the new Mono wheels provide a replacement option for a popular vehicle. For the Mini-B, the new rear wheels are a direct fit for the rear of the vehicle in combination with tires such as the Sprinter. The new Mono wheels are 34.50mm in diameter which match the standard size of the Mini-T 2.0. The flat shape of the wheel design and superior inner rib design provide great performance and durability. The wheels incorporate light-weight pockets inside the wheel which surrounds the wheel nut and a slightly textured tire bead for mounting security.
