Avid RC8B3 carbon shock towers & alloy standoffs

Coming from Avid and made for the Team Associated RC8B3 buggy are front and rear carbon fibre shock towers and suitable aluminium shock standoffs. The 5mm front and 4mm rear tower have the shock standoff pockets removed to prevent the carbon from splitting while retaining the stock suspension geometry to make them a direct swap for the stock parts. The included standoffs are of a -1mm design to keep the standard shock angle, they are made from high-quality alloy material and using both the towers and standoffs scrubs around 40 percent of weight for a lower centre of gravity and improved handling. The parts are available as combo set with two towers and four standoffs and they are also sold separately for spares or repair.

Shepherd Velox F1 1/10th formula pan car

Another company to join the 1/10th Formula game is Shepherd Micro Racing who have released first images of their forthcoming Velox F1 formula pan car. Designed from scratch and developed in close cooperation with experienced formula drivers the var is a combination of well-proven features and new innovations. Two hard-coated tube dampers and a VRS absorber with a floating piston instead of a membrane take care of the damping duties and the carbon fibre chassis is designed for the use of a standard or LCG 2s shorty LiPo which can be installed in a front or rear transversal position to fine-tune the weight balance. To adjust the caster, different moulded inserts are used while it is possible to adjust the camber with using L/R thread turnbuckles. Furthermore the rear power pod is equipped with an externally adjustable 18-ball differential. The rear ride height can be adjusted with shims and the eccentric inserts allow a short and a long wheelbase setup. Included in the kit will be adjustable ETS-legal front and rear wings as well as a lexan body and the release is planned for early 2016.
