Following their extensive line of carbon fibre option parts for the Team Associated B6 series of buggies, French brand Rusti Design has introduced several option parts for the B64 4WD kit. First up are a carbon fibre front shock tower as well as standard and tall rear shock towers. The standard parts match the kit geometry while the taller rear shock tower was developed for the use with longer 31mm shock body dampers.
RPM have introduced two front bumpers for the Team Associated B6 buggies. First up is a mini bumper that replaces the stock hinge pin retainer. It provides roughly 25mm of forward extension and nearly 49mm of width to help protect the front end of the vehicle. That means direct frontal impacts won’t transfer 100 percent of that damaging impact energy into the front bulkhead, chassis or shock tower. The mini bumper weighs in at a mere 7.5g and it is moulded from RPM’s own nylon mix.
Coming from Xray and made for the XB8 series of vehicles are 6.8mm steering knuckle ball studs with backstop. The pivot balls are available in a short 8mm and a long 11mm variant both of which feature an M3 thread and a hardened surface for less wear. Their design with backstop reduces the change to popping of the ball cup in the event of a crash or in a hard landing. The balls come in sets of two.
Coming from Team Associated and made for the RC8T3 and RC8T3e is the Factory Team 133mm CVA driveshaft set. It can be used as a replacement option to the universals that come standard in the kits. The CVA assemblies will provide a more aggressive steering feeling, perfect for use on smoother track surfaces. The CVA sets can be also be rebuilt as wear occurs and they require inner 15x21x4mm bearings.

Coming from Serpent are updated rear lower arms for the Cobra SRX8 buggy. They feature a third shock mounting position for increased setup possibilities but remain the same in terms of rigidity. They can be run without or with a combination of moulded or carbon inserts to reinforce them and they also allow to run “short” or “long” arms with the longer arm has been proven to have better jump landing and to be more stable over rough terrain while the shorter arm provides more rotation and corner speed on smoother tracks.
Coming from Team Losi Racing is the dirt laydown transmission conversion for the 22T 3.0 stadium truck. The kit includes all needed parts to convert the truck to laydown transmission and by moving the motor forward and reducing rear weight bias the vehicle remains flat in high speed turns, reducing wheelies for quicker lap times on high-bite surfaces such as carpet, astro and prepped clay. The transmission case is precision machined from high-quality Delrin and included in the set are also a short moulded battery strap, machined aluminium idler gear, machined motor plate, motor plate brace and a transmission to shock tower brace. The set will become available by mid-June.

Revolution Design Racing Products have introduced their new aluminium wing plate for the Xray XB2 and XB4. The part is a direct fit on all Xray 1/10th buggies and the 1-piece 7075-T6 aluminium construction improves the durability and aerodynamic efficiency of all buggy wings with flat middle section, as it makes for less wobble and thus a more securely fitted assembly. On top of this will the plate greatly improve visual impact thanks to its anodised surface and the machined edge details. The wing plate is available in black or orange anodising.
