RDRP B6 aluminium front bulkhead

Revolution Design Racing Products’ aluminium front bulkhead for the Team Associated B6 series of 2WD buggies was designed to replace the standard part with a more sturdy and durable item. The bulkhead comes machined from aircraft-grade 7075-T6 aluminium and its directional design allows to run 25 degree or 30 degree kick-up angle while the anodised surface and silver edge details add visual impact.

Made from high-quality 7075-T6 aluminium the middle bearing block is part of a running change for all new kits and also available separately as direct replacement.

Team Azarashi HD Magna rear buggy wing

Japanese brand Team Azarashi has introduced the new HD Magna rear buggy wing for 1/10th 2WD and 4WD buggies. Taking the standard Magna wing as a basis, the HD variant is made of 20 percent thicker polycarbonate material while also being wider, resulting in improved overall durability but also weight, the latter increasing body roll in corners which can be beneficial in lower grip conditions. The wing comes made from high-quality Lexan material and it fits most 2WD and 4WD buggies.

Raw Speed Rip Tide 1/10th buggy rear tyre

Coming from Raw Speed is the all-new Rip Tide 1/10th buggy rear tyre. Utilising an entirely new carcass to create a uniform contact patch as the vehicle’s chassis leans while cornering, the tyre also breaks in more quickly, getting on race pace earlier for big events. The bar-type tread also generates a lot of forward traction with plenty of side bite so racers can trust their car in every corner. The tyre comes including closed cell inserts and in clay, soft or super soft compound.
