CRC Unveils Two New Oval Pan Cars
The 3rd generation oval cars from CRC are all new and do not use much of anything from the previous generation other than the front end. The biggest differences that make the CRC 3.0 cars superior to the old ones are the center pivot, rear pod, and even the chassis plate itself. The center pivot is now offset left on both cars to improve drive-off without jacking a bunch of wedge in the car. This allows the car to have a heavier left front tire which helps the car get into the corner and roll the center without being too free off the corner. The chassis have gone on an extreme diet. We have removed an incredible amount of right side weight and filled in all of the old NiMh cell slots to increase left side weight. Overall, the chassis are smaller and lighter, but have increased left side weight percentage. Another awesome feature is the ability to add “static” rear steer. All link cars have the ability to add reactive rear steer by raising the front of the links. While this increases steering and response, it can make the car feel inconsistent or unpredictable depending on how hard you turn the wheel. Having static rear steer gets the car into the corner harder without the degree of rear steer changing as the chassis rolls. This makes the car feel much smoother and more predictable while making it turn-in like an animal. Read more…
JConcepts Reedy Sonic Aluminum Timing Cover
Heat is an enemy when it comes to high-performance in electric motors. The Reedy line of Sonic motors have been a quick hit on and off the race track and have been quickly established as a force in both stock and modified racing. JConcepts introduces an all new aluminum timing cover accessory for the iconic brand motor. The aluminum acts as an additional heat sink transferring heat to an additional surface spreading the heat out over more area. The timing cover also has increased depth which allows more sensor wire plug protection in the event of a crash or collision. The JConcepts Reedy Sonic aluminum timing cover is CNC machined, available in blue and black colors and includes upgraded hardware for installation. In addition, each cover also includes a molded sensor wire holder and hardware. The wire holder routes wires in the up position which decreases possible wire snags or drop-outs which lead to unfinished races. When it comes to high-end looks, added performance and increased durability, JConcepts has you covered with the aluminum timing cover. Read more…
