Moto-Obscura Schumacher Aluminum SACS Pivot Blocks

Moto-Obscura has announced their first of a line of vintage Schumacher parts with their Aluminium SACS front suspension pivot blocks.  SACS (Schumacher Active Caster System) was a novel design that was an option on many 2wd buggies and trucks during the 90’s and early 2000’s.  Conversions were even available for other brand’s vehicles as well like Team Associated’s RC10 buggy.  Machined from durable 6061-T6 Aluminium Alloy, the SACS blocks eliminate the biggest weakness of the system by replacing the original plastic piece.  The new aluminium part is beautifully finished with smooth black anodising.

Moto-Obscura XX4 Alu Front Bulkhead

Specialists in parts for vintage RC racing, Moto-Obscura has released a brand new aluminium front bulkhead for the iconic Losi XX4 4wd buggy. Adding to their collection of other vintage racing parts, this piece provides a much more rigid attachment to the chassis than the stock plastic part, and ties the front of the buggy together to form a solid platform for the front suspension. It also does away with the flimsy plastic bumper, while adding some much needed weight to the front of the vehicle. The bulkhead is machined from super sturdy 7075-T6 Aluminium alloy, and finished in a beautiful matte black anodising.

Moto-Obscura RC10 battery strap and brass weight

Continuing its effort to support vintage racing, Moto-Obscura has released two new products for iconic Team Associated vehicles of yesteryear.  A new carbon fibre battery strap allows you to effortlessly secure LiPo battery stick packs or shorty packs. Available in two sizes; Short for the RC10 B2 and B3 buggies, and long for the T3 stadium truck.  With old school rear motor cars having a tendency to push through corners, especially without the added weight of NiCd battery cells, Moto-Obscura has come up with a solution to add steering to the RC10T.  Their new brass front kickup weight adds 22g exactly where it is needed most, at the very front of the vehicle.
