Bezerk RC B64 carbon fibre option parts

Bezerk RC have introduced a range of carbon fibre option parts for Team Associated’s all-new B64 1/10th 4WD off-road buggy. First up is a carbon battery strap made from 2.5mm material and pocketed to reduce weight, making it lighter than the plastic one it replaces. Also new are remodelled shock towers in two thicknesses, featuring the standard geometry. Next up are Ackermann plates in varying angles from standard to three degrees while Bezerk RC’s servo brace has been simplified to clean up the appearance by removing the mostly unneeded aerial holder.

Yokomo BD8 Pitch Control System

Coming from Yokomo and made for the World Championship-winning BD8 electric touring car is the new Pitch Control System. Used by Ronald Völker to sweep the recent second round of the 2016/17 ETS, the system utilises a tie-rod brace that runs along the centre of the chassis, connecting the kit’s standard 1-piece servo mount and the updated motor mount bulkhead for reduced chassis pitch and increased forward traction. In addition to stiffening the chassis in longitudinal direction the set will also allow to take influence on the top deck’s flex characteristics with an additional mounting point. The set will become available by end of March.

Gravity RC B64 2mm diff shim

Gravity RC have introduced a new optional part for Team Associated’s B64 4WD off-road buggy in the form of a 2mm diff shim. The 3-D-printed part is conventionally used to raise the rear differential of the B64 buggy. The increased height of the diff will result in a more conventional dog bone angle at the desired ride height and will increase grip and overall consistency. The part is especially recommended in the rear, but also applicable for the front.
