Made for the Team Associated B74 4WD buggy is Avid’s new -2mm carbon fibre rear shock tower. The shock stay is made from 100 percent carbon fibre and designed to limit the shock up travel to keep the dogbone from hitting the outdrives. The tower is machined from 4.0mm thick material, it maintains the stock shock angles and it has two small drill holes under the centre hole of the wing mount for notification.

Coming from JConcepts and made for the Team Associated B74 buggy are new carbon fibre and titanium optionals. Starting with the carbon fibre parts, new are front and rear shock towers that are of a ribbed and chamfered design. The 4mm thickness, genuine carbon fibre material is durable, lightweight and features the JConcepts milled sections which help maintain strength while minimising weight. The three standard B74 shock positions remain for quick and steady adjustments in the correct position for the front and rear shock geometry. The towers feature the JConcepts treatment of ribbed sections and chamfered edges on the surface of the race-proven material. The towers are complete and designed to accept the stock mounting hardware.
To honour of the golden age of stadium truck racing, JConcepts unveils a 1995 Ford F-150 stadium truck body for the Team Associated RC10T2 vintage 2WD truck. The RC10T2 has very little body options available and JConcepts took on a passion project to deliver a body to a vintage community thirsty for a fresh reboot. The JC body is narrow and sits close against the chassis to give racers the team look popular in the 1990’s. The styling is completely modelled after the most popular full-size truck of that era, the 1995 Ford F-150. The entire body shape has been chiseled, incorporating styling cues from the full-scale truck including wheel well shapes, door lines, window outlines and rear tailgate. The front-end sits just behind the front bumper while the headlight and grille area look strikingly stock and with included decal sheet, looks like its street truck counterpart. The RC10T2 body is moulded in a durable gauge material and includes rear spoiler, mounting hardware and decal sheet to completely outfit a vintage ride.
RDRP have introduced their new aluminium steering optionals for the Team Associated B74 buggy in the form of alloy bellcranks and a +4mm steering plate. Starting with the aluminium steering bellcrank set, it is a direct replacement for the standard composite parts, it is machined from aircraft-grade 7075-T6 aluminium and comes black anodised and with machined silver edge details. Using the alloy steering bellcranks over the standard parts adds much needed precision to the steering system while also greatly improving overall durability. The increased overall rigidity will also help with steering emphasis, enhancing the steering feeling especially in high-bite track conditions such as carpet and astro turf.
Ruddog Distribution have announced the release of the new RDRP Slipper Eliminator for the Team Associated B74 4WD buggy. The direct spur gear hub is the ultimate option part for all stock racers as it greatly lowers not only the drivetrain’s rotation masses but also the buggy’s overall weight, making for blistering fast acceleration, lower motor temperatures and thus more power towards the end of the run. The slipper eliminator weighs in at about 17.4g including the supplied ultra lightweight 72T main gear, scrubbing about 50 percent of weight compared to the original slipper assembly it is replacing. Due to its lightweight design the slipper eliminator is best used with motors of more than 10.5T as it will not withstand the power of modified motors.
Coming from JConcepts is the Finnisher truck body shell for both the Team Associated T6.1 and the Yokomo YZ-2T stadium trucks. The slight cab forward, raked windshield and aggressive stance highlight a performance-oriented core. A revised front hood scoop allows plenty of clearance for unique geometry while smoothing out the front down force area. Front chin spoiler, headlight and grill protect the front-end from unwanted up-drafts during flight while the supplied decals stand-out like an 18-wheeler. Like the ROAR National Champion Hi-Flow SCT body, the Finnisher body has built-in air escape passages which allow the customer to fine-tune the body for maximum outdoor performance. The latest stadium trucks can utilize shocks placed on the front or rear of the rear suspension, the JConcepts body accommodates both configurations for the utmost versatility. The new body includes a high-performance gurney spoiler which increases rear grip and balances the handling characteristics of the aggressively styled body. The body fits both the T6.1 and YZ-2T kits.
