JConcepts F2 bodyshell for B6 & B6D

Coming from JConcepts is the F2 buggy bodyshell for the Team Associated B6 and B6D. Based off of the original Finnisher body, the F2 is a drop fit for the popular B6-series buggy with cut-lines being included on each side of the body to accommodate stand-up 3 or 4 gear and lay-down transmission layouts, giving all out versatility. With the evolution of race tracks, complicated circuits combining more aggressive jumps and extremely high-speed corners, JConcepts incorporated many features which provide several benefits in the most critical situations. Increased windshield angle provides a steady force upfront during mid-flight wind gusts on large jumps. Forward cab placement changes performance/visible bias which help steering rotation in low traction corners. The side-pods have been simplified and JC-chamfered to remove unwanted changes in height to neutralise the at-speed handling. The front of the pods have a dual step, scoop treatment which give a first in class look to the F2 body. The rear of the cab has the Finnisher step feature which allows the placement of a secondary side window and also several louver options off the rear which can be trimmed to allow air to escape at the top of the body. In addition to the newly designed body, JConcepts has included two of the latest Aero rear wings used by Ryan Cavalieri, Ryan Maifield and Spencer Rivkin to a 1st, 2nd and 4th place finish at the recent 2017 Reedy Race of Champions.

RDRP RC8B3 titanium shock pins

RDRP have introduced a set of titanium shock pins for the Team Associated RC8B3. They are direct replacements for the standard steel parts and come machined from aircraft-grade titanium. Weighing in at only 0.85g per piece the shafts make for lower unsprung masses which results in greater suspension efficiency and thus improved overall performance. On top of this the shafts feature a recess in the button-style head for droop measurement purposes and they are highly corrosion resistant, meaning they not only look better for longer but they also perform at their best in wet track conditions. The pins come in sets of four to equip one full kit and they are usable on all of Team Associated’s 3rd generation 1/8th off-road kits including the RC8B, RC8B3e, RC8T3 and RC8T3e.
