Factory Team B6.3 +3mm bellcranks

Team Associated’s new Factory Team +3mm bellcranks allow B6.3 racers to tune the caster with 0 and 2.5 deg. inserts and still minimise bump steer. On high-traction tracks, the pro drivers have gained cornering speed by reducing caster from the kit 5 deg. inserts down to 0 or 2.5 deg. Unfortunately, the 0 or 2.5 deg. caster inserts raise the outer steering block ball, creating un-wanted bump steer, which affects wheel angle as the car leans. Their solution has the +3mm raised bellcrank sets counteract the adjustment and help keep your steering angles consistent through the entire suspension travel. This combination makes the cars and trucks corner faster, while also maintaining predictable handling. Made from durable CNC aluminium they are available in both blue and black anodised finishes.

Avid DR10 aluminium steering bellcranks

These new Avid DR10 aluminium steering bellcranks are machined from billet 7075-T6 aluminium alloy, black anodised and have silver edge highlights for that premium look. Each package includes 1 left and 1 right bellcrank and 2 aluminium crush tubes for the steering rack bearings. These are a must-have upgrade for any serious racer as they eliminate flex in the steering system for maximum steering feel.

JConcepts DR10 aluminium steering rack & bellcrank

JConcepts has the steering system on the DR10, SR10, and RB10 covered with an all new light-weight, aluminium steering rack and bellcrank. The rack is CNC-machined and replaces the stock plastic piece, and comes in a blue or black anodised finish and sports machined chamfered silver edges and engraved JConcepts.net logo. The aluminium, light-weight assembly provides a more rigid steering system with increased steering feel and response. The bellcrank is a servo saver-less aluminium steering system and replace the stock plastic bell-cranks, they come in a blue or black anodised finish and sport machined chamfered silver edges and engraved JC logos. The aluminium, light-weight assembly provides a more rigid steering system with increased steering feel and response. The fit of the new bellcranks has been improved by the positioning of the bearings to help eliminate binding when assembled.

RDRP T6.2 +4mm LCG aluminium chassis

Based on the popular Revolution Design Racing Products +3mm chassis for the RC10 B6.2, the new T6.2 +4mm LCG 7075 aluminium chassis as the name suggests adds 4mm of wheelbase. This is to improve handling in high-bite track conditions such as carpet and Astroturf, making the truck easier and faster to drive at the same time. One step ahead of the kit item, the new chassis is already prepared to accommodate new-generation servo mounts such as the B6.3 kit item or the RDRP LCG Servo Mount set. Machined from aircraft-grade 7075 aluminium for strength and optimised flex characteristics, the black anodised surface is the perfect basis for a stealthy looking high-performance model race car. As with the previous buggy version, the chassis comes with a low centre of gravity 7075-T6 motor plate that puts your motor as low as possible into the chassis cut out. Both the chassis and motor plate work exclusively with the laydown gearbox. In addition to the LCG motor position, cut outs in the chassis plate move the battery position for an even lower overall centre of gravity. With its silver edge details and laser-etched logos the chassis will not only ensure performance, but also attract attention in the pits. The chassis is also compatible with most bolt-on servo and electronics balance weight sets.

RDRP B6.3 +3mm LCG 7075 aluminium chassis

The Revolution Design Racing Products +3mm chassis has been updated for the ultra-popular Team Associated B6.3 2wd buggy. As before, it mirrors the optimised length of the original B6.2 and B6.3 chassis to improve handling in high-bite track conditions such as carpet and Astroturf, making the car easier and faster to drive at the same time. Of course, the new chassis is prepared to accommodate new-generation servo mounts such as the B6.3 kit item or the RDRP LCG servo mount set. Machined from aircraft-grade 7075 aluminium for strength and optimised flex characteristics, the black anodised surface is the perfect basis for a stealthy looking high-performance model race car. As with the B6.2 version, the chassis comes with a low centre of gravity 7075-T6 motor plate that puts your motor as low as possible into the chassis cut out.

T-Works B6.3 steel chassis skid protectors

T-Works have release their stainless steel chassis skid protector sets for the Team Associated RC10 B6.3/B6.2 buggy. The skid plates will provide additional chassis protection in the rear of the car, something that comes in handy especially when running on highly abrasive surfaces or on track with large jumps. The protector plates are made of high-quality stainless steel material for durability and corrosion resistance and come in a set of two.

JConcepts DR10 & SR10 +2mm motor plate

JConcepts has rolled out a sweet looking replacement motor plate for the DR10 and SR10 vehicle line-up. With the evolution faster vehicles, drag racing, and speedy dirt oval racing, a serous crash is inevitable. Looking at the typical construction of the second operation processes on standard motor plates, it easy to see why bending is sometimes an issue. The design team at JConcepts has incorporated a honeycomb milling affect with placement more suited to surrounding geometry making the plate lightweight and very rigid in multiple directions. The honeycomb features add a 3D look featuring the natural aluminium while the rest is available blue or black anodised colours. The motor plate is compatible with the Team Associated DR10 and SR10 while remaining lightweight. Slight chamfering on the 3mm thickness material allows the rather beefy plate to look quite slim and trim. In addition, longer slots have been designed into the motor plate to allow larger pinion sizes to accommodate the needs of the hardcore racer.
