Ruddog MBX8 carbon fibre front wing set

Made for the Mugen MBX8 is Ruddog’s new carbon fibre front wing set that attaches right to the front upper arms. The set includes moulded carbon fiber wings as well as lightweight mounting brackets that fit right on top of the upper arms, making for a sturdy yet lightweight base for the wings. Using these aerodynamic aids will improve front end grip and traction at higher speeds while optimising the buggy’s balance when being airborne. In addition they are looking pretty slick and offer additional space for sponsor stickers.

JConcepts RC10GT GTB2 ’96 authentic body shell

Coming from JConcepts is their new GTB2 body shell for the Team Associated RC10GT tub and flat chassis 2WD gas trucks. When it came time to make changes and upgrade the original Team Associated RC10GT, there were some 1996 updates featuring front and rear shock tower geometry changes. Along with these changes, the truck took on some changes in the body department to house the new shock positions and increased width of the body for different engine and exhaust combinations. As the RC10GT evolved, the team went to a flat chassis layout and then later extended the length to keep up with the demands of higher speed tracks and increasingly bumpier conditions. The Gas Truck Body 2 was the combination of everything racers loved about gas powered stadium trucks in the mid to late 1990’s. By this time, a slightly rounder, softer look was being adopted into the mainstream and nobody knew gas racing like “the team”. JConcepts, with approval from Team Associated, have reintroduced the genuine GTB2 shell to the masses. This allows the faithful to recreate, rebuild and race with authentically styled bodies from the heyday of competitive gas truck racing. A lot of work went into making this project a reality and thankfully, Team Associated preserved the iconic molds from the 1996 calendar year. JConcepts was able to restore older generation construction and with a blend of today’s materials, the GTB2 body is back out on the market.

JConcepts S15 NB48 2.0 body shell

Coming from JConcepts and made for the Tekno NB48 2.0 buggy is the S15 body shell. The S15 blends performance features from the popular Silencer body with new features such as mid-body winglets and rear stabiliser kick-up. The roof of the body remains strong with the upper fin in position for stability and tracking ability. The engine area remains clean and a deep-rooted position allows the engine head maximum side exposure to air and escape. The front and rear body mount area is cleanly designed and allows for a drop-fit on the Tekno NB48 2.0 and other kit variants. For the precise fit, the design has undergone changes to match the Tekno chassis side-guards and body mount positioning. The S15 stance cockpit allows ample fuel tank access, a smoother high-speed windshield transition which tackles even the most high-speed conditions. The hard-edged chamfering provides the classic JConcepts look while also delivering aero benefits and perfect decal positioning. Included with the clear body come window masks, and a decal sheet.
