JConcepts Triple Dees 1/8th buggy tyres

Coming from JConcepts are the Triple Dees 1/8th buggy tyres. The tyres sport a tread design that was developed for loose and tacky track conditions. Starting with finely spaced square mini lugs the tyre also features an overlapping and blended centre bar structure. The bar draws up the side of the pin to maintain all important support but the main stance is low so the tyre maintains its clean-out ability during acceleration. The main-stay of the tyre is the angled and sharp pins which spread across the carcass in an open pattern touching off the track surface. Near the side-wall the pins have been trimmed and angled to give racers a smooth driving experience as they enter and exit tacky turns or slightly rough terrain. The inside of the carcass includes a standardised triple radial rib design which helps control expansion during high-speed runs. The Triple Dees is available in grippy compounds such has blue, green and black and it comes including Dirt-Tech inserts and also as pre-mounts on white or yellow wheels.

Xray XB4 medium compound chassis side guards

Xray have introduced optional medium compound chassis side guards for the XB4 buggy. Softer than the kit side guards, they are a tuning aid for chassis flex adjustment. The medium-hardness side guards increase the torsional flex, leading to a softer overall chassis assembly and they are therefore recommended especially for low-traction tracks.

Xray T4 adjustable hard carbon fibre top deck

Coming soon from Avid and made for the Xray T4’16 is the adjustable 2.0mm hard carbon fibre top deck. The first of its kind, it allows to adjust the twisting stiffness in the front, simulating a 0.5mm soft top deck all the way to a 2.2mm hard top deck by simply sliding a clamp back and forth in the front. The rear section of the TD also allows a clamp adjustment which is only capable of stiffen the rear for advanced setup gurus. Five small position holes have been added on each rail to help with precise adjustment changing and monitoring and the deck is cut from 100 percent premium carbon fibre with layup angles balanced left and right to insure equal twisting resistance side to side. The top deck is recommended for use on all conditions, it fits the T4’16, ’15 and ’14 and it includes the upper deck, clamp, and an Avid mini decal.

Avid Triad B5M/TLR22 direct drive set

Avid have introduced the Triad direct drive set that allows stock racers to remove the entire clutch assembly for conditions where the driver feels having less rotating mass and zero slip except from the differential is beneficial. The unit is of a very lightweight design which was accomplished by removing all the plates and pads as well as the steel spring with a minimalist design done in aluminium. The DD plate is hard anodised for strength and the DD post is gutted for weight removal for a grand total of 0.8 gram. For B5M owners, there is also an included M4 aluminium flanged locknut to remove even more weight. The direct drive set is a direct fitment for Team Associated 5th generation vehicles such as the B5, T5 and SC5 and it is also usable on TLR22 and Kyosho RB6 kits with the latter requiring the Avid Triad Kyosho aluminium top shaft. The set will hit the stores soon.
