Atomic-Carbon B44 optional bodyshell Categories - Team Associated, Atomic Carbon, Bodies, Off Road, Products - comments closed 
Former European Champion Chris Doughty has the first pictures of the Atomic-Carbon B44 optional body that is used with the Atomic-Carbon B44 optional Carbon Fibre Tub Chassis. The shell is still in its prototype phase so final details need to confirmed but the front and rear towers have been shaped to allow airflow over the body so as not get blocked by the tower. The body is lower than that for the S4 yet there is plenty of room for full size servos, receivers and TC style fan mounted speed controllers.
Check out more pictures here.

Atomic Carbon B44 option parts Categories - Team Associated, Atomic Carbon, Accessories, Off Road, Products - comments closed 
Following on from the brief piece from oOple about the Atomic Carbon S2 in which we mentioned that a new 4wd buggy was spotted, comes the first teaser pictures of that car which has turned out to be an Associated B44 with new carbon fibre option parts from Atomic Carbon. Most notable is the beautiful moulded, and machined, carbon fibre tub chassis which sports a different battery layout and radio gear configuration than the original car and also that it no longer uses an upper chassis brace, probably due to the stiffness of the tub. More information to be released soon.

Atomic Carbon S2 buggy pics Categories - Atomic Carbon, Electric Off Road, Cars, Products - comments closed
Jimmy over at oOple managed to get some first pictures of the new Atomic Carbon S2, a car that has been around all year in various guises, gradually evolving until a layout that worked was arrived at. This, the pre-production car, is a work of art - losing any rough edges the prototypes might have had and with a swish new carbon laminate tub chassis specially made for this car. A new 4-gear gearbox and cell layout distinguish this car from the prototypes and the car should be available as a conversion for the popular RC10B4 from Associated. Also spotted was the new 4wd chassis from Atomic Carbon, that sports donor parts from the Associated B44 and a newly designed front end, but he unfortunately wasnt allowed to take any pictures of it.
Go to oOple to get more close up pictures of the S2.

Atomic Carbon Kevlar chassis Categories - Modifications, Atomic Carbon, Cars, Off Road, Products - comments closed
The picture above and below is that of a new kevlar / carbon fibre tub chassis for the Atomic Carbon S4 which UK driver Mat Dodd is currently testing. The chassis has a outer layer of kevlar and the normal inner layers of carbon fibre with the purpose of the kevlar to help reduce any wear to a minimum on the chassis. Depending on how testing goes it might be introduced on the company’s S2 and S4.

Atomic Carbon RB5 Shock Towers - Review Categories - Atomic Carbon, Kyosho, Accessories, Off Road, Products - comments closed
Our mate oOple has a nice little write up on the Atomic Carbon Kyosho Ultima RB5 shock towers that their team helped co develop, and that we briefly wrote about a while ago. And his conclusion -
Despite running on some of the most demanding tracks in the UK Stu didn’t manage to do more than scratch one of the production Atomic towers so far (touch wood). The 4MM Carbon looks trick and gives the car a new look - but more importantly the additional settings are very useful, especially on the rear - not cheap, but worth it!

Atomic Carbon AC10 prototype Categories - Atomic Carbon, Electric Off Road, Cars, Products - comments closed
Atomic Carbon, makers of the S4 and S2, and masters of all things carbon fiber have shown the first pictures of their new project call the AC10. Its a 2wd buggy with tub chassis and rear mounted motor and is different from the company’s S2 chassis that is currently hitting the tracks in the UK. The prototype still isn’t finished, with some parts still to arrive to complete it, but one thing is certain, it sure looks sweet.
UPDATE: We have looked into it more and it turns out that it is a personal project to recreate the original RC10 in carbon and other modern materials.
