R1 Wurks B7 Ultra-Light Pro Slipper Eliminator System

R1 Wurks has released its latest iteration of their slipper eliminator system for the Team Associated B7 platform. The focus of the Ultra-Lightweight Pro Slipper Eliminator System is on significant weight reduction, particularly in areas affecting rotational inertia, resulting in faster drivetrain spool-up, improved acceleration, and enhanced overall efficiency. This was achieved by eliminating traditional gear-mounting screws and replacing them with a single lightweight aluminium nut, which not only reduces rotational mass but also ensures a secure, warp-free gear mount. The Ultra lightweight comes in at just 3.4 grams (excluding gear weight) and comes with lightweight R1 Wurks titanium top shaft screw, an aluminum Lock nut, and is compatible with most aftermarket gears, including Kimbrough (gear not included). The system comes complete with its own 8mm wrench.

R1 Wurks B7 Rear Inverted Shock Hardware Set

Following on from its Lowered Rear Tower Set that uses inverted Front Shocks, R1 Wurks has now released a set to invert your rear shocks on the Team Associated B7. The set allows you to enhance your tuning capabilities by making inverting your rear shocks quick and easy. Inverting your shocks lowers the centre of gravity and redistributes sprung weight, an adjustment proven to improve handling, especially on high-traction surfaces like carpet. The kits includes a lightweight carbon tower spacer, precision-machined aluminium shock mounting hardware with black anodised finish, and high-strength grade 10.9 steel hardware.

R1 Wurks B7 Lowered Rear Tower Set with inverted Front Shocks

California based R1 Wurks has produced this Lowered Rear Tower Set that uses inverted Front Shocks and is intended for Team Associated’s B7 1:10 2WD Buggy. The setup requires the use of an additional set of front-length shocks in the rear, resulting in one of the lightest and lowest centre of gravity rear shock configurations available. In addition to the significantly reduced CG, it also delivers the performance advantages of inverted shocks, making it an essential upgrade option for high-traction surfaces. Also the droop remains standard, while uptravel is reduced, ideal for smaller carpet tire diameters. The set also shifts weight forward to enhance mass centralisation, improving rotation and steering response.

R1 Wurks Aluminium Motor Spacer

New from R1 Wurks are these Aluminium Motor Spacers intended for oval racing. Available in 3, 4 and 5mm options, they are designed to shift the motor’s mass to the left (inward), increasing the left-side weight percentage, this adjustment enhances handling and makes it a valuable tuning aid for oval racing. They are available in multiple thicknesses for fine-tuning. They can also be used universally in non-oval applications where redistributing motor mass enhances side-to-side weight balance. Made from high-quality 7075 T6 aluminium, these spacers are lightweight yet durable. Their excellent heat transfer properties help dissipate heat efficiently through the motor plate, ensuring optimal cooling performance. Specifically in terms of Oval racing performance benefits the spacers improve cornering stability in that it balances the car when entering turns, increasing left-side tire traction. It also reduced right rear drive by shifting weight away from the right rear, aiding rotation and improving corner exit transitions. In general performance benefits you get more predictable handling, balancing side-to-side weight allowing for smoother and more precise driver inputs.

R1 Wurks B7 Alu Front Ball Stud Mount & Weight

Continuing its roll out of option parts for the Team Associated RC10B7 2WD Buggy, California based R1 Wurks has released this Aluminium Front Ball Stud Mount and simple drop-in 10gram Brass Weight. Weighing just 10.9 grams, this upgraded bulkhead is lighter than the stock plastic mount and offers two additional in-between ball stud mounting locations, providing more tuning options than the original. In certain conditions, adding weight to the front of your buggy can be beneficial. In most cases, doing so may help with front-end traction, steering response, and stability, especially in corners. Additionally, added weight can help reduce front-end bounce, leading to smoother handling and control. Of course, you should consider the overall weight distribution of your platform and may want to adjust the battery placement in conjunction with the added nose weight.
