RC-Project RC8B4.1 30g Rear Chassis Weight

New from Italian option parts brand RC-Project comes this 30-gram Rear Chassis Weight for the Team Associated RC8B4.1 1:8 Buggy.  The latest weight features a redesigned structure that centralises mass distribution compared to the previous version.  This update provides improved stability in high-speed corners and better responsiveness during direction changes.  Unlike the previous model with a fixed position, the new version allows for forward weight adjustment, enabling fine-tuning of the mass distribution according to the driver’s specific needs.  Additionally, the lower geometry has been revised to ensure a mount that minimises contact surface with the chassis, significantly enhancing the chassis torsion.

RC-Project Buggy Clutch Spring Tool

Italy’s RC-Project has released a new Buggy Clutch Spring Tool to simplify the assembly/disassembly of buggy clutches.  The main body is produced in Ergal 7075-T6 and then hard anodised while the central part that will be in contact with the springs instead is produced in steel and then is subjected to a heat treatment to increase the surface hardness.  Just insert the Buggy Clutch Spring Tool in the crankshaft, turn counterclockwise until you hook the spring and push until the shoe and spring will go into position, to disassemble repeat the same process but instead of pushing you’ll have to pull.  It is suitable for all nitro engines from .12 to .30.
