Introducing the Escape body by JConcepts, specifically designed for the newly released Team Associated SC10B vehicle. Breaking into the world of Short Course buggy racing, JConcepts has stepped up with the first aftermarket body designed around the new high-energy vehicle. The first thing noticed on the Escape is its narrowed front-end which tucks nicely against the chassis geometry. The increased front tuck tightens up the large gap in-between the chassis and stock SC10B body making the Escape a superior jumping body with its first heavy detail. Just above the tucked portion, in front of the cock-pit area, rests a reverse scoop giving an area to trim for more air-relief. A small ledge entering the cab guides the air slightly further than the original body while the main side-pods have chiseled ducts which wrap around the bolt-on plastic caging. Just behind the roll-cage area, number plates are built into the body giving the body a slightly raked look and appropriate place for small racing numbers.

Yaiba Racing have released some new parts for Team Associated B4 and Kyosho RB6. First up for the B4 is this lightweight and strong aluminium bell crank set which gives a more direct steering feeling without servo saver function. Next up for the RB6 is a super hard heat sink motor plate machined from 3mm thick A7075 aluminium. A special heatsink design improves heat dissipation and weight reduction. The motor screws can be held in place by O-rings while attaching or removing the motor simplifying the process. The weight of this product is almost the same as the kit standard motor plate so there is no need to change your set-up. Finally for the RB6 is this precision machined aluminium rear upper bulkhead for mid motor layout. It significantly improves strength and durability and the ball stud attachment position is the same as the kit standard so no need to adjust your setting.

Reflex Racing have released some new items for the Xray T4 and Associated TC6.1. Firstly for the T4 there is this asphalt spring set which comprises of springs that are more progressive which compliment the Xray T4’s low center of gravity to yield more steering and corner speed. The progressive springs act softer in the beginning of the corner to give more steering and then stiffen up as the car makes it’s way around the corner, to provide better mid and exit steering. The Progressive spring set includes 4 pairs of springs and while these springs are our preferred items for asphalt, they will also work quite well on carpet. Reflex also offer machined Delrin pistons with 3/6 Holes and 4 holes (1.0-1.2mm holes).
