Ruddog B74 & XB4 carbon fibre side guard sets

Made for the Team Associated B74 and Xray XB4 1/10th scale 4WD off-road buggies are the new Ruddog carbon fibre side guard sets. The side pods are moulded from high-quality carbon fibre for a low weight and high-quality surface finish, ensuring cool looks and improved car performance as the side guards weigh in at about 17g for the B74 version and 24g for the XB4 version, which is considerably less than the standard composite plastic side pods. Being made of tough carbon fibre the side guards retain the original flex characteristics of the chassis while offering slightly increased ground clearance during cornering. Included with the side guards comes suitable mounting hardware.

Revolution Design B74 LCG carbon fibre shock towers

Ruddog Distribution from Germany have introduced the new Revolution Design Racing Products B74 LCG front and rear shock towers that were developed for the use with the Team Associated B6.1 and B6.2 shock absorbers. The result is an overall lower centre of gravity for the Team Associated B74 4WD buggy, which helps to increase corner speeds on high-bite surfaces such as carpet, astro turf and prepped clay. Machined from high-quality carbon fibre and featuring a reinforced design for durability, the front shock tower is a direct fit when using 23mm shock bodies and 21mm shock rods while the rear LCG shock tower was developed for the use with 27.5mm shock bodies and shock shafts. Both the front and rear LCG shock tower feature a single row inner camber link mount design as this is the most preferred option among most racers and they are available from now on.

Team Associated 1/10th off-road 1/0.5 arm mount inserts

Coming from Team Associated and made for the all B6 series kits, the B74, T6.1, SC6.1, and B64 1/10th scale off-road vehicles are the new 1/0.5 arm mount inserts. Moulded in black plastic and coming with eight per package, they help to try new settings not previously available with the current inserts. The 1/0.5 inserts help fill in the blanks and give a 0.5 step option where pilots previously only could adjust things in 1.0 steps, 1.0-up or 1.0-corner, filling out the finer settings on the outer perimeter of our current adjustment grid. The new design holds the hinge pin 1 degree (or 0.7mm) offset UP and 0.5 degree (or 0.35mm) offset on or out. When turned sideways, racers can do 1 degree out and 0.5 degree up or down. There is a Type 1 and Type 2 cavity – hole locations must mirror each other – so mechanics must watch when installing to keep them symmetrical.
