JConcepts titanium motor mounting screws

Posted: 11 Dec 2020 12:42 PM PST

JConcepts have launched a precise new 3mm titanium motor mounting screw for a variety of applications. The screw has a large diameter head which eliminates the need for a washer and where a lot of detail of the design rests. The head of the screw is highly detailed titanium but with increased machining over the head of the screw. The design incorporates holes and notched hexes which make it incredibly light-weight but strong in all the important areas. Located in the centre is the 2.5mm hex used for adjustment and security.

Smokem Racing R12 roll centre shim sets

Smokem Racing introduce their new carbon fibre roll centre shim sets for the ARC R12. Available in 1.0mm and 1.5mm versions, the shims are used to raise the R12 suspension arm mounts, allowing roll centres to be raised in larger increments without stacking multiple shims. Raising the roll centre releases the car from excessive grip through a corner, allowing for improved flow and corner speed. Features a unique design that allows the same shim to be used under all 1-piece toe blocks.
