Infinity by X-Factory B5M chassis

X-Factory introduce their new Infinity by X-Factory line, a line of hop-ups for other car brands. The first release is a new carbon fibre chassis for the Associated B5M and the line will be expanded soon to include shock towers, new steering systems and other products that take your car to the next level. This new chassis gives the B5M lots more flex and tunability with drivers reporting much better cornering and increased forward bite on all surfaces. Rough tracks require more flex, so loosen some or all of the side deck screws on the Infinity chassis. The forward screws affect front flex, while the rear ones work on the back end. The kit comes complete with the CF chassis, all the other CF parts, aluminium stand-offs, hardware, and instructions.

JConcepts B5 & B5M alu front suspension brace

New for the Associated B5 & B5M from JConcepts comes this aluminium front suspension brace. The machined and anodized aluminium brace is spot on in terms of geometry, fit, finish and position. The edging has been slightly chamfered to remove sharp corners and adds extra luster to an already polished looking piece while the tightened design eliminates extra bulk and weight with deep cutouts. Finally the perimeter ledge has a hefty chamfer which provides slightly more front clearance during hard landings and corning.

JConcepts RC10 Detonator Worlds bodyshell

JConcepts introduce the Detonator Worlds bodyshell for the Team Associated RC10 buggy. The spirit of the Detonator lives in the 1990’s, starting with the rear biased, over rear tower, hung cab, super large window detail. The side-pods are simple, yet effectively cover the iconic aluminium tub chassis and skate by the latest in inboard electrical gear. Hard-edge chamfering along the sides of the body provides a current and trimmed look while one large side window, stands out giving that unique 90’s racer style. The front of the body slides just inside the front shock tower and nose brace tubes and gradually rises up to a centre inlet scoop built into the hood. Included in each Detonator package is a 5.5″ wing that is designed to fit flat and sits down and hugs the back of the body. The wing side-dams are finished off with a little inspiration from today with the leading edge angled and already in attack mode. Included with the clear bodyshell, that is usable with the RC10 Classic, RC10 Worlds rel-release as well as vintage RC10’s, come window masks and a decal sheet.
