JConcepts C4.2 rear suspension kit

JConcepts C4.2 rear suspension kit

Made for the Centro C4.2 converted Team Associated B4.2 buggies is this rear suspension kit from JConcepts. The set targets 3 key areas where the C4.2 could do with improvements. In stock trim the C4.2 includes a moulded rear bulkhead which is highly flexible and a target to damage in severe crashes. The JConcepts suspension kit includes an all CNC machined aluminium version which has been trimmed, narrowing the stance allowing more room for narrow rear pivot camber link adjustments. The bulkhead is available in blue or black colour and has silver chamfered edges around the border and inner cut-outs. The tucked design, trimmed shape and pocketing give the racer an extremely durable yet light-weight piece.

Tamiya TT-02 Alfa 155 & TT-02D drift kit

Tamiya introduce two new kits based on their TT-02 entry-level 4WD touring car. First up is the Alfa Romeo 155 V6 TI, the kit resembles the Jägermeister car that was run in the 1994 German Touring Car Championship. The kit builds on a plastic tub chassis with 4WD shaft transmission, gear differentials and in-line motor position. The highly detailed body comes with a separate rear wing and a large decal sheet while the wheels are OZ replicas with grippy slick tyres. The second new kit is the TT-02D drift chassis. It builds on the standard TT-02 and includes ball bearings, a special battery hold-down, aluminium motor heatsink, oil-filled shock absorbers and drift-spec tyres and wheels. Coming without a bodyshell nearly all 190mm and 200mm bodies should fit. Both cars will become available beginning of 2014.

McPappy Racing McDominator Adam Liehr Edition

McPappy Racing McDominator Adam Liehr Edition

McPappy Racing has just released the latest McDominator in the Adam Liehr Edition. This chassis was designed for the use with the Savox SH-1250MG servo using the optionally available McPappy Savox servo case that is flush with the bottom of the chassis. Dropping it this low completely solves bumpsteer while running a flat servo plus it also lowers the centre of gravity. Since there is only a single 10″ wheelbase option, McPappy stretched the chassis right up to the LF wheel which allows another half piece of tungsten to adjust weight bias making it the chassis with the most tungsten options.
