The plate differs in many ways from Yokomo’s original part with the Team Bomber chassis offering additional milled sections under the front arm mounts, the steering, electronics and battery area in order to fine-tune the flex characteristics. We bring you more information on the chassis as soon as they become available.

JConcepts S2 8ight-E 4.0 buggy body shell

JConcepts have introduced the S2 body shell for the TLR 8ight-E 4.0 buggy. The S2 design, originally made popular for the 1/10th off-road crowd, had a lot of influence over this design. It sports a forward cab, low-profile stance with channeled roof and rear stabilising fin. The front of the pods have deep pocketed and “force-bars” channel some air in a much needed forward position while also providing a more rigid feel to the body. The low-profile side-pods whisk over the electrical and step where necessary and the rear wicker section improves rear-end grip and tightens up the handling. The clear body set includes window templates and a decal sheet and it is a direct fit on the 8ight-E 4.0.

Schumacher Atom/CC brass mid weight

Coming from Schumacher and made for the Atom and Atom CC kit is a 120g brass mid weight. Ideal for use with the Atom/CC but also useful for racers using the alloy chassis with lightweight equipment. The part weighs in at 120g and helps to achieve the weight requirements for GT12 racing while also providing more grip and making for an easier to drive car. The front/rear weight distribution is optimised with this part fitted, very centrally, reducing the polar moment of the car and therefore improving handling. Adjustment screws to make each different battery fit perfectly are included.
