Revolution Design B74 aluminium centre diff case

Revolution Design Racing Products’ aluminium centre differential case for the Team Associated B74 was developed to keep the drivetrain as consistent as possible over the whole run. The case is machined from aircraft-grade 7075-T6 aluminium and its design helps with heat dissipation in demanding racing conditions. Using the case not only improves the precision of the drivetrain, the greatly improves heat transfer also keeps the diff oil much cooler – compared to using the standard plastic case – which results in a much more consistent drivetrain behaviour over the full run; even in high ambient temperatures. The diff case comes hard-anodised for wear and looks and it includes a set of suitable hard-anodised aluminium inner cross pins for the internal gears. The part fits the B74 buggy equipped with the standard centre differential.

Revolution Design B74 LCG carbon fibre shock towers

Ruddog Distribution from Germany have introduced the new Revolution Design Racing Products B74 LCG front and rear shock towers that were developed for the use with the Team Associated B6.1 and B6.2 shock absorbers. The result is an overall lower centre of gravity for the Team Associated B74 4WD buggy, which helps to increase corner speeds on high-bite surfaces such as carpet, astro turf and prepped clay. Machined from high-quality carbon fibre and featuring a reinforced design for durability, the front shock tower is a direct fit when using 23mm shock bodies and 21mm shock rods while the rear LCG shock tower was developed for the use with 27.5mm shock bodies and shock shafts. Both the front and rear LCG shock tower feature a single row inner camber link mount design as this is the most preferred option among most racers and they are available from now on.

RDRP B74 front & rear aluminium differential case

Revolution Design Racing Products have introduced a new aluminium front/rear differential case for the Team Associated B74 buggy. The case is machined from aircraft-grade 7075-T6 aluminium and it sports a heatsink design to further help with heat dissipation. Using the part over the standard composite cage not only improves the precision of the drivetrain, the greatly improved heat transfer also keeps the diff oil much cooler – compared to using the standard plastic case – which results in a much more consistent drivetrain behaviour over the full run; even in high ambient temperatures. The diff case comes hard anodised for wear and looks and it includes a set of suitable inner cross pins for the internal gears. The part fits the B74 buggy equipped with the standard gear differentials.

RDRP T6.1 & SC6.1 heavy-duty carbon fibre shock towers

Revolution Design Racing Products have introduced new heavy-duty carbon fibre front and rear shock towers for the Team Associated T6.1 Stadium and SC6.1 Short Course Truck. They match the standard kit geometry but are of a reinforced heavy duty design for improved durability and stability, greatly reducing breaking issues and increasing suspension efficiency. Different from the standard parts the RDRP HD shock towers are machined from extra thick 6mm carbon fibre, compared to the standard 4mm part, which further reduces flexing and tweaking under load, making the tower especially useful when running in high-traction or very bumpy track conditions as they improves overall traction. As they match the stock dimensions the towers are a direct replacement with no setup changes needed when swapping parts over.

RDRP M17/MT-44 aluminium options

Coming from Revolution Design Racing Products are new aluminium optionals for the popular Sanwa M17 and MT-44 radios. First up is an aluminium steering wheel usable for both the M17 high-end and MT-44 intermediate level radios. It is a quick and easy way to personalise the transmitter to the maximum as it is machined from high-quality aluminium and of a cool new turbine design that greatly enhances the overall appearance of the transmitter while offering improved stability for more precise steering action. The steering wheel is available in seven different colours including black, blue, light blue, green, gold, orange and red while machined silver colour edge details and a laser-engraved logo make the wheel stand out. The part is a direct fit and can be combined with RDRP’s new Sanwa M17 RDRP0501 dial and nut set.

RDRP B74 aluminium steering optionals

RDRP have introduced their new aluminium steering optionals for the Team Associated B74 buggy in the form of alloy bellcranks and a +4mm steering plate. Starting with the aluminium steering bellcrank set, it is a direct replacement for the standard composite parts, it is machined from aircraft-grade 7075-T6 aluminium and comes black anodised and with machined silver edge details. Using the alloy steering bellcranks over the standard parts adds much needed precision to the steering system while also greatly improving overall durability. The increased overall rigidity will also help with steering emphasis, enhancing the steering feeling especially in high-bite track conditions such as carpet and astro turf.

RDRP B74 Slipper Eliminator

Ruddog Distribution have announced the release of the new RDRP Slipper Eliminator for the Team Associated B74 4WD buggy. The direct spur gear hub is the ultimate option part for all stock racers as it greatly lowers not only the drivetrain’s rotation masses but also the buggy’s overall weight, making for blistering fast acceleration, lower motor temperatures and thus more power towards the end of the run. The slipper eliminator weighs in at about 17.4g including the supplied ultra lightweight 72T main gear, scrubbing about 50 percent of weight compared to the original slipper assembly it is replacing. Due to its lightweight design the slipper eliminator is best used with motors of more than 10.5T as it will not withstand the power of modified motors.

RDRP B74 aluminium bellcrank arm

Ruddog Distribution have introduced the new RDRP aluminium bellcrank arm for the Team Associated B74 buggy, a direct replacement for the standard carbon fibre part. Machined from aircraft-grade 7075-T6 aluminium and coming black anodised for wear and looks, the bellcrank arm offers improved strength and greater durability as it replaces the somewhat weak original carbon fibre part that can break in heavy crashes or when touching track boards. The arm mimics the original steering geometry and it comes with machined silver edge details for factory looks.
