Avid now offers a customisable Triad slipper clutch set. Suitable for most of today’s Team Associated vehicles such as the B5 and B4 series as well as the B44, TLR’s 22 2WD series, Kyosho’s RB6 and RB5 as well as Team Durango’s 210 series, the clutch set now offers selectable slipper pad and main gear combinations. Users can choose between 3 white, 3 red or 2 white and 2 red pads as well as 2 main gears of 66T to 87T in size. While the pads have a direct influence on the behaviour of the clutch at different track conditions the main gear size is affected by the class you run as smaller gears are typically used in stock racing while larger gears are needed when running modified motors. Beside the pad and gear selection the Triad clutch set is otherwise unchanged from the standard item.

X Factory UK introduce the X-6S shaft driven 2WD mid motor buggy, a special edition aimed towards the use on astro turf and carpet tracks. The X-6S is based on the popular X-Factory X-6 Cubed front end but utilises the rear suspension and drivetrain from the B44.2 platform. Featuring a lightweight CarbonFlex chassis for both rigid construction and strength whilst retaining the all important controlled flex for consistent bump handling. A carbon fibre multi-layer front top deck system is combined with a new carbon fibre rear top deck designed to optimise flex and to provide easy access for slipper adjustment. The vehicle makes use of the popular shorty LiPo battery packs for improved weight balance while two servo mounting positions and rear mounting locations for added ballast enable easy weight distribution tuning.

New from Exotek come aluminium topshafts for the Team Associated B5 and the Serpent SRX-2 2WD buggy. The B5 shaft weights in at around 5g and is 8.5g lighter than the stock shaft while the SRX-2 part scrubs around 6.4g of weight. The lighter weight makes for less rotation mass in the drivetrain, quicker spool-up and better braking resulting in an overall improved transmission performance. The shafts come hard-anodised, polished and are a drop-fit solution.
