Radtec kingpin & steering block tool

Coming from Radtec is a new kingpin and steering block tool that allows to perfectly align the kingpin threads in composite steering blocks. The tool utilises a specially designed tip with an M3 thread on the upper end while the plain lower part slides into the steering block’s lower kingpin hole, ensuring the thread is cut at a perfect angle. By rotating the steering block the opposite thread can be cut. On top of having the two holes aligned, which will eliminate unwanted misalignment and friction, the tapping will also ensure easier assembly of the steering knuckle and C-hub area. The tool uses a machined aluminium handle and a titanium-nitride coated tool tip and it will hit stores very soon.

RPM B6-series rear bumper & skid plate

RPM have introduced a rear bumper and skid plate for the Team Associated B6 and B6D buggies. Weighing in at only 5.5g the part hardly adds any weight but it is 52mm wide and extends rearward by roughly 32mm at a 45 degree angle for added rear bulkhead, A-arms and differential protection. Additionally it sits 2.4mm beneath the chassis. This skid area of the bumper lends extreme skid resistance to the back of that expensive aluminium chassis and helps reduce skid and impact damage to the rear of the buggy.

Coming from JConcepts and made for the Yokomo YZ-2 DTM 2WD buggy is the Fin titanium turnbuckle set. Designed to replace the kit’s standard steel turnbuckles, the 6-piece set includes lightweight yet durable links whose design is centred around a .143″ titanium hex size which gradually tapers down into a 3mm thread base design which accepts the standard Yokomo ball-cup configuration. The focus of the styling surrounds the lengthened adjustment hex area and the “finned” cuts that rotate about the centre. The JConcepts turnbuckles are produced with left and right hand threads, the left conveniently marked for easy orientation.
