DE Racing B4, T4 & SC10 chassis braces

New from DE Racing come front chassis braces for the Team Associated B4, T4 and SC10 line of buggies and trucks. Designed to increase life and durability while maintaining the chassis’ stock appearance the parts virtually eliminate broken chassis. When mounted the chassis brace sandwiches the chassis between itself and the upper steering plate, redistributing impacts and reducing the change of braking the chassis. The braces are available as B4/T4 and SC10 variant and come including a drill and mounting hardware.

Team C TM4 4WD buggy – First image

Some weeks ago Team C released a first rendering of their upcoming TM4 4WD electric off-road buggy and today a first image of what appears to be the production prototype is available. The buggy makes use of the tried and tested T4 suspension components and big bore shock absorbers but everything in between is new. Given the photo the TM4 makes use of an aluminium main chassis with carbon fibre upper deck and the overall design sees the motor and speed controller as well as the shorty LiPo battery pack being located in the rear part of the chassis while the steering servo and receiver will find a home up front. The somewhat unconventional weight distribution is meant to calm the buggy down, allowing for higher corner speeds and a lighter overall weight. We keep you up to date with more information as soon as they come up.
