Yeah Racing SCX10 alloy chassis option parts

Yeah Racing have two new aluminium option parts for the Axial SCX10 crawler available in the form of a rear chassis H-brace and a front bumper mount plate. Starting with the H-brace, the part is CNC-machined from high-quality material and comes blue anodised for added looks. Using the part greatly increases the strength of the chassis to prevent it from twisting under heavy loads. The second new part is the front bumper mounting plate, the aluminium part again comes blue anodised and makes for improved strength while adding a splash of colour to the chassis.

Team C TC02C gear differential – Coming soon

Team C TC02C gear differential – Coming soon

Team C have released first images of their somewhat older TC02C 2WD mid motor buggy with gear differential option. Although the company’s TM2 seem like a hot ticket on ultra high grip surfaces some team drivers preferred the conventional TC02C better on medium traction or clay tracks. The gear diff option, that from what we understand includes also a new gearbox, is designed to replace the stock ball differential with a solution that allows for improved forward bite when needed. We bring you more information on the part(s) as soon as we get them.

Team C released no information about the specific chassis specs and features but as they seem to make use of the kit’s standard plastic sidepods there will not be any drastic changes in geometry etc.
