RDRP B64 aluminium steering rack

Revolution Design Racing Products have introduced their new aluminium steering rack for the Team Associated B64 1/10th 4WD buggy. It is a direct replacement for the brittle standard composite part, machined from aircraft-grade 7075-T6 aluminium and it comes blue or black anodised. Using the alloy rack over the standard part 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.

Bezerk RC B64 top decks, shock towers & steering plates

Bezerk RC have introduced a range of carbon fibre option parts for the Team Associated B64 range of buggies. First is a carbon front topdeck in solid heavy duty or a light version. Both are made using quality 2.5mm carbon fibre and they come with a neat spacer to fit underneath the front section for better support when tightening. The decks are countersunk at the front to accept the standard screws. Next are middle camberlink length option towers in a single standard front height, and three rear options of tall, standard height and high roll centre. Lastly are the 0/6 degree steering plates. Bezerk have had 3/9 deg variants available for some time and the new option fits nicely in-between, giving racers every step needed in two steering plates. Every 1mm added to the rack subtracts 1 degree, so racers have everything from -2 deg to 9 degrees of Ackermann adjustment.
