Buri Racer E1.2 split battery upgrade kit

Buri Racer have introduced an upgrade kit for the E1.2 4WD electric on-road car that allows to use split 2S LiPo battery packs instead of a single 4S brick. The kit relocates the receiver and controller to the left side of the centre belt, making for an improved weight bias, optimised tweak and an extremely low centre of gravity. The conversions requires the use of a low-profile servo and it includes redesigned carbon fibre parts such as the upper deck, battery mounts and front plate as well as all needed mounting hardware including hook and look battery straps.

SWorkz S12-1 aluminium diff case cover & gear

SWorkz have new option parts for the gear differential of the S12-1 2WD buggy available in the form of an aluminium case cover and an aluminium diff case. Machined from 7075 material and coming anodised for wear the parts maximise reliability with the case cover being usable both on the standard composite and also the alloy gear case. When used in combination with the composite case, the alloy diff cover will ensure perfect gear roundness for improved durability while the alloy gear case comes in handy especially on very high bite surfaces. Both parts are available separately and they are a direct replacement for the stock items.

Following last week’s introduction of the Cougar KD, UK company Schumacher now also released information on the Cougar KC, a purpose designed buggy for high-grip astroturf and carpet tracks. The buggy is designed primarily for modern carpet and astro surfaces, offering the driver four different motor layout positions with multiple battery types and fitting options.

The buggy makes use of the same versatile chassis as the KD, it comes with a 3-gear opposite motor rotation transmission, a low rotating mass gear differential, new suspension geometry and a sleek, shark fin bodyshell.

T-Works BD8 +6mm extra hard foam bumper

Coming from T-Works is the extra hard foam bumper for the Yokomo BD8 and BD7 touring cars. Made of a special foam the bumper is much harder than T-Works’s already existing hard variant while at about 19g it is also about 12g heavier which allows to adjust the car’s weight bias by just changing the bumper. The bumper also extends 6mm further out the front compared to the kit part to eliminate the need to apply additional foam pieces when the bodyshell is mounted further forward on the car.
