Raw Speed have introduced a wing drilling jig for their own 1/10th buggy wing. Featuring mounting positions for the Team Associated B6-series buggy, the jig allows for centred and square mounting positions, doing away with the need to hand-fit the positions every time. The 3-D-printed jig is available for Raw Speed’s wing only, with more variants for the TLR 22, Kyosho RB6.6, Xray XB4 and Yokomo YZ coming soon.
Coming soon from Schelle Racing Innovations are aluminium rear hubs for the Team Associated B64 1/10th scale buggies. The 2-piece design with replaceable caps increases adjustment and durability as the hubs fit the kit axle height inserts for 0, +1, +2, and +3 adjustability. The standard location “inside, +1mm shim” matches the kit standard upper row middle “B” hole. The upper cap design can space away from the main hub with ballstud shims, allowing racers fine in-between adjustments for the rear upper link. True to the kit geometry, the Schelle aluminium hubs are 0 degree toe-in when using the Associated inserts. The SCH1095 aluminium upper caps carry over from the B6 design, and are shared the same part left and right. The upper cap design reduces leverage on the outer ballstud, and is much easier to use when needing to remove a broken ballstud. Lastly, these hubs are zero slop, with plastic bearing inserts and 2 set screws for the hinge pin. The hubs will become available from end of May in blue or black colour.
Coming from Avid are aluminium rear hub spacers for the Mugen MBX7 and Team Associated RC8B3 as well as domed droop screws for 1/8th scale vehicles. Starting with the rear hub spacers, the parts are machined from 6061-T6 aluminium and they are specially designed to remove all the slop from the rear hubs while providing strength. The spacers are available in grey colour for the Mugen MBX7 series of buggies, trucks and cars and in black colour for Team Associated’s 3rd generation RC8 kits.
Coming from Team Associated and made for the RC10F6 formula car are white tyre decals. Printed on rubberised, high-strength, adhesive-backed material, these decals give tyres a finished and scale look. They are sold in individual sheets featuring enough decals for two complete sets of tyres.
JConcepts have introduced the next generation of 1/10th buggy rear wings with the new Aero S-Type. It includes options not yet seen before on a 1/10th off-road rear wing. An extended rear gurney lip makes tuning that much better for more grip on the loose surfaces while running the latest generation in off-road. The base of the wing design is built on the popular Aero wing but with new additions which make the wing more durable and more adjustable. The S-Type wing is a direct bolt-on piece for the Team Associated B6/B6D and B64/B64D. The wing features a long chord construction with revised section to incorporate some reinforced ribbing in the vertical plane below the over-hanging gurney. Cut-lines and dimpled locations are positioned throughout for trim and tuning options. The dimples in the rear can be reamed to expose larger holes which serve as pass-through for circulating air and helps the vehicle maintain its position during long flight jumps.
Coming from JConcepts and made for the Team Associated B64 series of 1/10th 4WD buggies are the Aero front wings. They features a trim-able rear gurney option and sport a radical, edgy design which functions and compliments the Finnisher and Silencer body designs. Cut lines make for easy trimming while triple wing mount dimples are included for a bolt-on fit to the popular B64 series of vehicles. The leading centre section of the wings have been formed into a unique V-shape to perfectly outline the front shock tower geometry. The wings are available in a wide or narrow variant, they made from high-quality polycarbonate and come in sets of either two narrow or two wide wings.
Coming from JConcepts and made for Team Associated’s B64 line of 1/10th 4WD buggies is the new F2 body shell. Designed with aspects learned from the original Finnisher bodies, the F2 provides an even more aggressive look with included details which remain crucial to performance. An increased windshield angle provides a steady force upfront during mid-flight wind gusts on large jumps while the forward cab placement changes performance/visible bias which helps steering rotation in low traction corners. The side-pods have been simplified and chamfered to remove unwanted changes in height to neutralise the at-speed handling. The rear of the pods have a dual step, scoop treatment which give a first in class look to the F2 body. The rear of the cab has the Finnisher step feature which allows the placement of a secondary side window and also several louver options off the rear. In addition to the newly designed body, JConcepts has included two of the latest Aero rear wings. The body also includes window masks and a decal sheet and it is a drop fit for both the B64 and B64D.
UK brand THR has introduced three new option parts for the Team Associated B6 series of 2WD buggies. First up is a tuneable under LiPo weight that allows for easy and swift weight gain in a 40g to 70g range by simply removing or adding three separate weight inserts. Cut from stainless steel the weight measured an overall 53x87x2mm and it is a drop-fit for the B6’s battery compartment. While adding or removing weight, the design also makes weight bias adjustments easy courtesy of the placement of the inserts within the frame. The weight can also be used in the Yokomo YZ-2 buggy with a special version for the Schumacher Cougar KD and KC being in the making too.
