Bezerk RC B6.1 series carbon fibre shock towers

Coming from Bezerk RC are new carbon fibre front and rear shock towers for the Team Associated B6.1 series of buggies. First up are the option rear towers for the B6.1 and B6.1D. With the laidback gearbox gaining popularity on track surfaces more in line with a standup gearbox, the trend among many B6.1 drivers is to shave the front of the rear arms and move them forward by up to 4mm. This modification creates a lot of sweep angle on the camber links which in turn can restrict the arm’s ability to wind up on power taking away grip. By relocating your camber link further forward to the tower this adds more forward traction. The B6.1 tower is a lower height variant of the B6.1D tower that is overall taller.

Bezerk RC Pro10 rear wheel shims

Coming from Bezerk RC are their new Pro10 wheel shims that allow to adjust the track width of Pro10 1/10th scale pan cars. The Pro10 class demands a lot on an axle that was first designed for a 12th scale car. When using axle spacers to achieve the desired rear track width the spur gear gets moved further away from the bulkhead/bearing and can thus cause premature failure of the spur gear. A concept inspired by Shannon Overson was to move the wheel out instead to keep the spur gear as close as possible to the bulkhead. This set includes a pair of 0.5mm and a pair of 1.0mm carbon shims that can be placed between the wheel hubs and the rim to fine-tune the rear track width without having to adjust axle width.

Bezerk Cat L1 carbon fibre option parts

Bezerk RC have introduced new carbon fibre option parts for the Schumacher Cat L1 4WD buggy in the form of lower shock towers and thinner upper decks. Starting with the shock towers, through testing in Australian conditions the designers have found that 4mm lower towers add the droop required for better handling on rougher terrain and make the car easier to drive on lower grip levels. The top of the front tower has been shaped the same to retain the kit plastic tower guard. The front and rear tower are cut from 4.0mm carbon fibre and they are available separately. Also new are front and rear upper decks in 2.2mm and 2.0mm variants that are both thinner than the standard kit parts for an easier to drive car in lower grip levels. The two thicknesses available allow to adapt the car further, enabling to fine-tune chassis stiffness. The top decks come as pairs separately for the front and rear and in the respective thicknesses.

Bezerk B74 standard front shock tower

Following their B74 Extra and Mid hole front shock towers, Bezerk from Australia now also introduced a standard front shock stay for Team Associated’s B74 buggy. The part matches the standard kit geometry, however an updated shape adds strength up top for improved reliability when the going gets tough. The shock tower is available in heavy duty 5.0mm or lightweight 4.0mm thickness.

Bezerk MBX8 carbon fibre shock towers

Available now from Bezerk are carbon fibre front and rear shock towers for the Mugen MBX8 1/8th scale buggies. The range includes a 5.0mm graphite front shock tower as well as standard and high wing rear variants – the latter offering additional mounting positions for the rear wing with the high wing position improving overall downforce and balance. The rear shock towers are available in 4.0mm and 5.0mm thick variants and all three match the standard kit suspension geometry.

Bezerk YRX12’19 & P12 Evo carbon fibre chassis

Bezerk from Australia have announced the release of new carbon fibre main chassis for the Yokomo YRX12 2019 and Roche P12 Evo 1/12th scale pan cars. Starting with the YRX12 chassis, it is made from 2.5mm glossy plain weave carbon fibre and it offers more flex than the kit alloy or carbon chassis available from Yokomo. This helps with traction on low to medium grip tracks. Also available is a suitable lower pod plate. Over to the P12 Evo chassis, the main plate also offers increased flex over the standard part, however it is additionally available in stiff weave carbon for high grip conditions. A suitable lower motor pod plate is available from Bezerk as well.

Bezerk T4’19 2017 height shock towers

Coming from Bezerk and made for the Xray T4’19 are new, taller shock towers that match the 2017 shock geometry. Made from 3.0mm glossy carbon fibre, these towers allow to mount longer shocks from the 2017 specification car to the 2019 model which can be beneficial in bumpier or very low grip track conditions. The geometry replicates the 2017 towers and the two are available as a set from now on.
