First up is the soon to be released 3Ds Short Course Tire. As racing on both indoor and outdoor conditions has evolved, a more flexible, supremely grippy tire design was necessary to drive the edgy, fast pace in mixed conditions. The 3Ds slide in as a new, highly sought after favorite in these conditions. 3Ds excel on indoor and outdoor hard packed surfaces with either dry or wet conditions. Drivers will feel the immediate impact of the exclusive design and proprietary rubber compound as they rip around the track at blistering speeds.

3Ds – green compound (SCT)
Part # – 3061-02

A Finnisher body for both the Team Associated RC8.2 and Kyosho MP9 made a debut incorporating all the popular features from the 1/10th off-road counterparts raced during the IFMAR world championships in Finland. The Finnisher 1/8th bodies have a unique shape and design which allow more escape paths for air flow along with including one of the more aggressive cabs in its class. The rear of the body has the Finnisher V-stepped treatment near the rear of the body giving another location for increased force and air flow escape. The side-pods have all been tightened up along the chassis guards eliminating any possible large voids which contribute to mid-air directional changes.

Illuzion – Kyosho MP9 – Finnisher body
Part # – 0229
(Fits Kyosho MP9 line)

Illuzion – RC8.2 – Finnisher body
Part # – 0230
(Fits Team Associated RC8.2 buggy)

Using the Hybrid center lug DNA incorporates increased over-lapping, to help maintain a steady center structure for increased forward traction and wear characteristics. All the pins on the Black Jackets are scaled down on the outside and opened up slightly for the ultimate slick or sandy track performance.
