Posted: 07 Nov 2017 09:25 AM PST JConcepts have introduced their new rubber parts tray. The tray provides a platform for organisation with its detailed design, divided pockets and steady base weight. The tray is precision-moulded in a rubber material which shows well in any pit area with the available blue and black colour options. The grippy nature of the rubber allows the parts to stay rooted where they are placed. The tray has six, built-in positions to place a differential for builds or fluid fills and can accommodate 1/10th and 1/8th sized assemblies. The iconic Dirt-Web tread pattern is raised into the surface of the largest cubicle and JConcepts.net logos blaze the outer perimeter. Source: JConcepts [jconcepts.net] |
Leadfinger Racing pre-cut Tactic 1/10th buggy rear wing Posted: 07 Nov 2017 06:14 AM PST Leadfinger Racing have introduced their newly redesigned Tactic 1/10th off-road rear wing and stabiliser. The wing has a widened centre section to easily fit many popular platforms, and is specifically designed for a variety of today’s track surfaces; from indoor turf to outdoor clay. The vented design allows the wing to be left uncut for increased rear traction when needed; or can be cut out, allowing passing air to escape for higher traction conditions such as blue groove clay and turf tracks. When reaming multiple holes was the only option, the new performance enhancement of the Tactic wing allows for more precise tuning without the sacrifice of durability. Two pre-cut wings come per package. Also new and a tuning option for high speed straights and sweeping turns is the optional centre stabiliser that will help lock in the rear of the car for more precise handling. Like it’s 1:8 predecessor, the back of the stabiliser matches the rear of the wing for ease of fitment; while providing durability, looks, and performance. The stabilisers come as pairs and additional trimming may be needed for cars with narrow rear shock towers. Source: Leadfinger Racing [leadfingerrc.com] |

Super Cup Championship Series Rd3 – Report Posted: 07 Nov 2017 02:28 AM PST The JConcepts Super Cup Championship Series made its way to Ocala, Florida last weekend to Newred Hobbies for round 3 of the 4 round fall series. This unique track is one of Florida’s longest running indoor facilities and will celebrate 15 years of operation next year in 2018. With a history and heritage, Newred has also looked towards the future by evolving with new style wood/carpet jumps making track rebuilds much faster and easier without the need to shape jumps and move large piles of dirt. With the growing popularity of the Independent classes at the Super Cup, this zero sponsored driver’s class has had a lot of interests and is looking to shape the future of racing here in the US. By splitting the 17.5 stock classes into an expert and independent class, the organisers were able to showcase both kinds of drivers giving the non-sponsored drivers a place to mature and grow as a racer. Also, having a spec tire for the Independent class also makes the playing field fair for all participants. The added bonus is that a complete set of spec tires is free with entry making it more affordable and cost-effective for the newer drivers with no team discounts. The layout for the Super Cup was simple, yet fast. This promoted close racing albeit the tricky high grip, sealed surface that requires slicks or semi-slicks for the fastest times. A nice feature about the wood jumps is the uniformity across the entire jump faces and landing zones allowing cars to catch air consistently without issues. With only two qualifiers and a single 5-minute main, the race day is compressed all into Saturday allowing a free day on Sunday. It was a perfect weekend for TLR’s JR Mitch in the 2WD Modified class as he was able to set TQ and carry the momentum into the 5-minute single A-main event. Having the luxury to start on pole, JR was able to set the pace and when 2nd place qualifier, Serpent’s Billy Easton, made a mistake that dropped him back to 4th, JR was able to turn on the cruise control and run a safe pace to cross the line in 1st. With Billy dropping back to 4th, the battle for the podium was on. With a late race charge, Billy would climb his way back to 2nd and Team Associated’s Paul Wynn defended his 3rd place position from a hard-charging Leon McIntosh and make the podium. It was a fabulous performance by Team Associated’s Brett Kingsbury in the A-final of 4WD Modified. Having TQ’d the class, Brett was under pressure for the entire 5 minutes with TLR’s JR Mitch right on his bumper. The two would put on a great show with Brett taking the checkered flag, JR 2nd and .5 seconds behind, and Leon McIntosh (Xray) 3rd. Taking a big win in the Modified Truck class was Justin Olds, who drove a great race to finish himself ahead of Leon McIntosh. Leon finished 2nd with Kyle Paquett 3rd overall. The battle in the 40+ 2WD Open class saw Jim Anderson take command during the main to cross the line 1st. Edwin Mctureous crossed 2nd and 6.3 seconds behind. Aaron Sikes was able to secure 3rd on the podium. With a wild start to the 13.5 4WD Buggy main, class TQ AJ Marasco had a lot of time to make up. This would give Patrick Rossiter Jr. a huge lead, which he converted into a big win. AJ would recover to put himself 2nd with Ryan Harris 3rd on the podium. From tone to tone, AJ Marasco would lead the way in the 17.5 Expert 2WD class crossing the line 3.7 seconds ahead of 2nd place car, Alan Wight. Shooting up 5 spots from 8th on the grid, Justin Olds would find himself 3rd on the podium with superb driving. Taking another commanding win in the Independent 17.5 2WD Buggy class was Ryan Harris. Ryan was able to set the TQ time and go on to win the 5 minute main with slick, smooth driving. Eddie Opel and Aaron Smith would battle for 2nd with Eddie crossing the line 1.8 seconds ahead of Aaron for 2nd. It was a great race in the Independent Stadium Truck class with class TQ, Eddie Opel taking the win ahead of Thomas Andre and Jeffery Rhodes. Huge thanks for these guys coming out and taking part in the Super Cup Series. The Independent SC class saw Scott Setser take a comfortable win over the competition. Meanwhile, Pat Mac and Cheese and Zachary Schmidt would duke it out for 2nd with Pat taking 2nd just 1 second ahead of Zachary. The Open SC class would also run with the Independent class as Vince McMahon would go on to take the win. The Novice class was combined with the 4×4 SC and Monster Truck classes to allow all attendees a class to race in. Taking the win and shining in the Novice class was Taeylor Laforest, who has been improving with every Super Cup race. Matt Paulins finished 1st in the 4×4 SC class with Lucas Chaffin 2nd Bobby Lafrate 3rd. Source: JConcepts [jconcepts.net] |
