Arena T4’17 2.3mm carbon fibre chassis & new top decks

Arena have introduced a new 2.3mm carbon fibre main chassis as well as three new upper decks for the Xray T4’17 touring car. Starting with the chassis, the part is cut from 2.3mm high-quality carbon fibre and so it is 0.1mm thicker than the standard chassis, resulting in increased stiffness which makes it ideal for medium-high traction asphalt and carpet surfaces. On top of this the part is also meant to be more durable due to being thicker. Also new and made for the T4’17 are 1.6mm, 2.0mm and 2.3mm top decks. The parts allow to fine-tune the car’s behaviour on a range of surfaces with the 2.3mm part will offer a very aggressive steering but also improved braking performance due to providing an overall stiffer chassis assembly. All parts are a direct replacement and they are available now.

JConcepts B6 rear ball stud mount & F2 body mount

JConcepts have introduced two new option parts for the Team Associated B6 series of buggies in the form of an aluminium rear ball stud mount and a 3-D-printed F2 body mount flange. Starting with the ball stud mount, the part is extra beefy to withstand the tremendous amount of stress in today’s racing atmosphere. The durability in this mounting area has been put to the test with difficult race circuits and especially with the introduction of the 6th generation of Team Associated buggies. JConcepts has added thickness around the screw mounting holes, thickened the main connection U-brace and for twisting and bending resistance and added a thick rib from the main body to the screw location boss. The mount comes in blue or black anodising and it is decorated with laser-etched JC logos.

JConcepts F2 bodyshell for B6 & B6D

Coming from JConcepts is the F2 buggy bodyshell for the Team Associated B6 and B6D. Based off of the original Finnisher body, the F2 is a drop fit for the popular B6-series buggy with cut-lines being included on each side of the body to accommodate stand-up 3 or 4 gear and lay-down transmission layouts, giving all out versatility. With the evolution of race tracks, complicated circuits combining more aggressive jumps and extremely high-speed corners, JConcepts incorporated many features which provide several benefits in the most critical situations. Increased windshield angle provides a steady force upfront during mid-flight wind gusts on large jumps. Forward cab placement changes performance/visible bias which help steering rotation in low traction corners. The side-pods have been simplified and JC-chamfered to remove unwanted changes in height to neutralise the at-speed handling. The front 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 which can be trimmed to allow air to escape at the top of the body. In addition to the newly designed body, JConcepts has included two of the latest Aero rear wings used by Ryan Cavalieri, Ryan Maifield and Spencer Rivkin to a 1st, 2nd and 4th place finish at the recent 2017 Reedy Race of Champions.
