Revolution Design B74.1 2.5mm aluminium chassis

Whether stock or modified, 4wd buggy racing has become more competitive than ever. While every RC car needs chassis flex, you also need highly precise steering if you want to come out on top. Thanks to directional milling, the 113g Revolution Design B74.1 2.5mm aluminium chassis retains the original item’s torsional flex, increases longitudinal stiffness and adds only 2g to the overall weight. Further flex adjustments can be made with the included 2.0mm carbon fibre front brace.

Front-end protection and weight are critical on all RC vehicles and in particular drag racing. JConcepts is once again on task with the release of the brass front bulkhead for the Team Associated DR10 line of vehicles. The all-brass machined bulkhead is spot on in terms of geometry, fit, finish and position and adds extra weight to assist in keeping the front-end down during high-speed runs. Installed with existing hardware included in the kit and can easily be installed trackside, between races or test and tune sessions.

Revolution Design titanium front axle & clamping hex

Saving weight, adding durability, and increasing adjustment options is high on the list of every racer. The one-piece aluminium front axles of Team Associated’s B6.2 are very light already, but can be bent by hard impacts and offer no track width adjustment options as seen on the buggies of the competition. Their truck counterparts are made of steel for added durability, but still have a fixed track width and off-set, and increase unsprung weight. RDRP’s titanium wheel axles come with 5mm aluminium clamping hexes for the B6 series and 8.5mm versions for their stadium and short course truck brothers. Both axle types accept the readily available Associated 1/10th scale wheel hexes for even more variety.

JConcepts Team Associated DR10 wheelie bar

JConcepts has designed a new wheelie bar for the Team Associated DR10 which delivers on looks, versatility and performance. A successful design starts with a solid mounting location to resist twist and flex. The aluminium rear wheelie bar mount designed to fit into place provides solid placement. The anodised black with silver chamfer highlighting give the amazing look but more importantly replaces a stock plastic item which shores up a huge issue with the stock wheelie bar assembly. Backing into the design, attaching steel ball-ends to the assembly works wonders when connected to genuine Team Associated ball-cups threaded into aluminium tubes, steel Fin turnbuckles and secured with 3mm jam nuts to hold adjustment and stability.
