JConcepts RC10 pre-cut chassis protective film

New from JConcepts comes a chassis protective film set for Team Associated’s RC10 vintage buggy. For years, drivers have hand-cut and custom fit their chassis with a clear material to protect the new chassis look and also providing a smooth or slick surface to decrease friction between chassis and dirt surfaces. JConcepts is now offering a pre-cut and graphically pleasing chassis protective sheet for the iconic RC10 chassis layout. The large footprint covers the complete chassis, nose-piece and extends up the rear of the chassis wrapping around the screws for the most coverage possible. With two pieces included per package, the durable and low-resistance material fits each chassis layout like a glove and adds protection and style in one easy package.

Reflex Racing RSD TC6.2 carbon fibre bulkhead braces

Reflex Racing’s RSD bulkhead braces for the Team Associated TC6.2 were developed in order to change the flex characteristics of the car. By bracing the bulkheads at the top deck screws, the flex points of the chassis are moved closer to the centre line, which increases high speed stability and control. Additionally the braces provide more on power traction at whichever end they are being used. When using both stiffeners, the car will stay a little bit flatter at high speed, will be easier on tires, the response will increase in tight corners and the car will be easier to drive in sweeping corners. Machined from high-quality carbon fibre the braces are a direct fit and they come as a set of two.

Schelle B5M carbon fibre battery strap

New from Schelle Racing Innovations comes a carbon fibre battery strap for the mid-motor B5M buggy. The innovative design allows racers to remove the front battery foams, shedding additional weight and opening up the chassis for more ESC placement options while holding the cells secure. The second design feature is the narrow rear tongue which allows chassis flex through the entire range of motion without contacting the rear chassis brace. The brace also reduces the weight of the battery mount from 14g to 7g while stainless steel screws and aluminium locknuts act as an adjustable battery stop.
