RDRP B64 brass suspension mounts

The new Revolution Design Racing Products brass suspension mounts for the Team Associated B64 series of buggies are direct replacement for the kit’s lightweight parts. They add valuable weight especially when running in high-traction conditions or when the track is getting bumpier. Machined from black-coated brass and sporting gold-colour chamfered edges the parts weigh in at 14g for the A LRC mount, 13g for the B LRC mount, 14g for the C mount and 15g for the D mount, which shifts the weight bias further to the front or rear of the buggy, depending on the location of the brass hangers. Using the front A and B brass mounts will result in an easier to drive buggy while the rear C and D mounts add traction out of and rotation into corners. Using the brass suspension mounts all-round will add valuable weight when running on very bumpy and/or grippy tracks. All mounts were designed to work with the original #92014 arm mount inserts and they are best used in pairs at the front or the rear.

RDRP Ultra Gripper R2 shock shaft pliers

Revolution Design Racing Products have introduced their revised Ultra Gripper shock shaft pliers. The R2 version is designed to hold 3.0mm, 3.5mm and 4.0mm shock shafts to make shock building easy and convenient. The tool allows to securely hold the shafts without damaging the surface or even the whole shaft as it can occur when using standard pliers. Like the other Ultra series tools the Ultra Gripper is precision CNC-machined from 7075-T6 aluminium and features a high-quality anodising that improves the surface of the notches for a more secure grip. The grip notches for the shock shafts sport laser-engraved size markings and the tool is usable for most 1/10th and 1/8th scale vehicles. The R2 variant sports an updated design that makes applying pressure even easier, ensuring less stress on the mechanic’s skin while also being available in range of colours including black, orange, red, blue and light blue.

RDRP B64 carbon fibre shock towers

Revolution Design Racing Products have introduced new carbon fibre shock towers for the Team Associated B64 series of 1/10th scale 4WD buggies. First up is the front shock stay that utilises the standard kit geometry but sports an updated design for improved looks and greater durability, making it especially useful on those demanding dirt and astro turf tracks. The rear shock tower, just like the front part, is cut to match the standard kit geometry and it sports an updated design for improved looks and greater durability, but on top of this an additional lower row of rear camber link mounting holes allows for an optimised rear roll centre which can be beneficial in a variety of track conditions. Both the front and rear shock stays are cut from high-quality carbon fibre, they are available separately and fit the B64 and B64D buggies.

RDRP B64 carbon servo mount plate & battery plate

Revolution Design Racing Products have introduced two new carbon fibre option parts for the Team Associated B64 4WD buggy in the form of a servo mount plate and a battery plate. Starting with the servo mount plate, the part is cut from high-quality carbon fibre and it is a direct replacement for the standard kit part. Designed to improve overall looks by doing away with the often unneeded antenna mount in favour of a clean looking part, the plate features machined pockets that further add to the visual impact of the buggy. The plate is a direct fit on the B64 and B64D buggies.

RDRP XB4 brass suspension mounts

Coming from Revolution Design Racing Products are new Brass Suspension Mounts for the Xray XB4 series of buggies. Machined from black-coated brass and sporting gold-colour chamfered edges the parts weigh in at 13g (FF/RR) or 15g (FR/RF) respectively and they add valuable weight to the front or rear end of the buggy. Used in the front the added weight makes for an easier to drive car especially in high traction conditions while in the rear the increased weight leads to improved traction on low grip. Used throughout the buggy the increased mass of 56g will make for a more planted ride over ruts and bumps. All mounts are available separately, the utilise Xray’s I.S.S. suspension inserts and they can be used in either combination with the original alloy mounts.

RDRP XB2 aluminium steering plate

Revolution Design Racing Products have introduced an aluminium steering plate for the Xray XB2 series of cars. It is a direct replacement for the standard composite plate and machined from high-quality 7075-T6 aluminium. Coming black or orange anodised the part adds stability to the steering section which can be beneficial especially on high-bite surfaces where the plate leads to a more crisp steering response as it does not wrap under load. The part is a direct replacement and usable on all XB2 and XT2 series kits.

RDRP XB2 brass RF & RR suspension mounts

Coming from Revolution Design Racing Products are the new brass RF and RR suspension mounts for the Xray XB2 series of cars. They are a direct replacement for the kit’s lightweight parts and add valuable weight especially when running in low-traction conditions or when the track is getting bumpier. Machined from black-coated brass and sporting gold-colour chamfered edges the parts weigh in at 12g (RF) and 15g (RR) which shifts the weight bias further back for improved traction and a more planted ride when running on bumpy tracks. The RF and RR suspension mounts fit all XB2 series cars and trucks except for the XB2D’17, they are available separately and can be used together or in a mix with the standard mounts to achieve the desired weight bias and driving feel.

RDRP B6-series C & D aluminium arm mounts

Revolution Design Racing Products have introduced their new C and D aluminium arm mounts for the Team Associated B6 and B6D 2WD buggies. The suspension hangers are direct replacements for the kit’s aluminium C and composite D parts and they add valuable toughness especially when running in demanding track conditions or when competing in modified classes. Machined from aircraft-grade 7075-T6 aluminium and coming in either black or blue anodising the parts also add visual impact. With their lightweight yet sturdy construction the mounts, which are available separately, hardly add any weight meaning the buggy’s weight bias does not change and they are a direct fit on both the B6 and B6D when using Team Associated’s #92014 suspension inserts.
