RDRP EB410 brass suspension mounts & rear weight

Revolution Design Racing Products have introduced their new brass C and D suspension mounts for the Tekno RC EB410 1/10th scale 4WD electric buggy as well as a dedicated rear brass weight. Starting with the suspension mounts, they are a direct replacement for the kit’s lightweight aluminium part and add valuable weight especially when running in low-traction conditions or when the track is getting bumpier. Machined from black-coated brass and sporting gold-colour chamfered edges the parts, that can be used separately or in combination, shift the weight bias further to the rear which also helps with rotation into corners especially in low traction conditions while improving overall traction at the same time. Available are the standard geometry C and D suspension hangers and also the C-2mm and D-2mm mounts that bring the suspension geometry – and thus roll centre settings – back to standard when also utilising the RDRP0452-2mm EB410 Carbon Fibre Shock Tower Rear -2mm or any other -2mm rear shock tower.

T-Works sign David Ronnefalk

T-Works have announced the signing of Sweden’s David Ronnefalk to their factory team. The 2016 IFMAR 1/8th Buggy World Champion will be using T-Works accessories in all of his HB Racing vehicles and he has the following to say about the deal:

I’m very happy to be representing T-Works for 2018 and beyond. As I didn’t make any official announcement during 2017 it was time to do so now. I want to thank Mr. Wilson Woo for the opportunity to use his high quality accessories on all my HB Racing vehicles. The unique “UFO” screws look really cool and they are also very strong compared to many others I have tried. If you haven’t given them a try yet, I really recommend you to do and I’m sure you won’t be disappointed!
