New design Kyosho Inferno MP9 engine mount

Kyosho’s nitro off-road mastermind Yuichi Kanai introduced this new engine mount for the Kyosho MP9 1/8th off-road buggy. Instead of using two separate base plates the new mount is of a 1-piece U-shaped design which is understood to help with stability and rigidity while the engine itself is still mounted using spilt mounting blocks. The gun metal anodized part comes laser-etched and will become available from end of April.

Avid Associated 12mm shock & turnbuckle tool

Avid introduce the 12mm shock and turnbuckle tool for Team Associated 1/10th buggies such as the B5, B44.2 and T4.2. The tool works with Associated, JConcepts and Lunsford turnbuckles and can also be used to hold the shock bottom of the new AE 12mm shocks. The tool also mimics the servo mounting pattern of the B44 buggy allowing to mount the servo to the mounts outside of the chassis meaning everything will be nice, centred and tweak-free. Once the assembly is squared up detach it from the tool and mount it to the chassis. The tool is CNC-machined from 6061 aluminium and comes black anodised with silver edges and laser-etched logo.

Jonas Kaerup confirmed at Reedy & Associated for ’14

Jonas Kaerup confirmed at Reedy & Associated for '14

Long standing Team Associated driver Jonas Kaerup confirms his 2014 deal with both Team Associated and Reedy Power. “The Great Dane” will be an integral part of the Scandinavian line-up for 2014 and is a definitive member of the team. With many years experience in both on and off road classes, Jonas’ wealth of experience including a European Championship and numerous nationals titles will be essential in the development of the younger drivers. Jonas will help bring the team together and nurture the younger talent. This is what Jonas has to say about the deal:

I’ve had many amazing experiences and years racing with Team Associated and I’d like to continue to grind out some good results in my twilight years but my priority will be to develop the team and help wherever possible with the progress of the younger drivers. Having a son of my own who races has made it increasingly more visible to me that guidance and support in the right manor is so important. I had this help when I was younger and it would be nice to pass this knowledge on to somebody who can eventually enjoy the experiences I’ve had in my RC career.
