Team Associated B5M Factory Lite kit

Team Associated introduce the B5M Factory Lite, a special version of the B5M that would optimise the platform to excel in classes requiring spec motors and for certain track conditions that allow the racer to take full advantage of the performance offered from reduced weight. Shedding over 75 grams of weight, the B5M Factory Lite includes a 3-gear transmission for lower rotational mass, a lightened hard-anodised aluminium chassis, titanium turnbuckles, and aluminium front axles.

Reds Racing R5T Team Edition V3.0 engine

Reds Racing introduce the all-new R5T Team Edition V3.0 nitro buggy engine. It is derived from the well-known R5T Team Edition v.2 and used by most of Reds Racing’s team drivers such as Cody King, Elliott Boots, Joseph Quagraine, Cole Ogden and others. The engine comes with the revolutionary HCX horizontal carburettor that guarantees higher idle stability, more precise tuning, easier access to high speed needle and higher mid/top range power. Furthermore, the engine comes with a special, red anodised cooling head. On top of that the R5T Team Edition features a front ball bearing with improved sealing and better durability, a redesigned crankcase with wider fins close to the exhaust for better cooling and the power plant also comes with a new combustion chamber insert and cooling head. The R5T Team Edition is hand-tuned by Mario Rossi and comes with a silicone-filled, balanced and tuned crankshaft, rear ceramic bearing, RDC hard-coated backplate, and 5-port sleeve with exhaust port booster. Before leaving the factory the engines are hand inspected and compression checked by Mario Rossi for maximum performance.

JConcepts B5 series aluminium steering bellcranks

JConcepts has the steering system on the B5, B5M and T5M covered with an all new light-weight, aluminium steering bellcrank assembly. The servo saver-less aluminium steering system is CNC-machined and replaces the stock plastic bellcranks to provide a more rigid assembly for increased steering feel and response. Furthermore the fit of the new bell-cranks has been improved by the positioning of the bearings to help eliminate binding when assembled. The parts come in a blue or black anodised finish and sport machined chamfered silver edges and engraved JC logos. The steering bell-cranks also include two thin crush tubes which should be placed in between the bearings on the stock plastic or aftermarket aluminium steering rack.

Tamiya TB Evo.6 Black Version chassis kit

Tamiya’s TB Evo.6 4WD shaft driven touring car kit will soon also become available in a limited edition Black Version. It is understood that the car, that features a pretty unique layout with a shaft drivetrain but a transversally mounted motor – as seen on belt-driven cars – is unchanged from the standard “blue” version apart from the black aluminium parts for the bulkheads, turnbuckles and damper parts.

Capricorn Lab C03 hard chassis & new engine mount

Capricorn have two new option parts for the Lab C03 200mm nitro car available in the form of a hard main chassis plate and a monoblock engine mount. Starting with the chassis, the part is designed to be an option for the standard flex chassis that comes with the car kit. The hard chassis is meant to give less flex which allows to fine-tune the car to different track conditions. Also new is the monoblock engine mount that stiffens the rear part of the chassis under the engine mount area. The single piece part is of a heatsink design to assist with heat dissipation from the engine’s crankcase.

Spec-R T4'15 motor mount conversion kit

New from Spec-R comes a motor mount conversion kit for Xray’s T4’15 touring car. Included is a redesigned motor and layshaft mount made from orange anodised 7075 aluminium that utilises a single mounting bracket for the layshaft for improved flex characteristics. The rear part of the motor mount offers two different ARS toe link positions, doing away with the standard towers, and included are also hard-coated 7075 aluminium centre belt pulleys, a spur gear and a front topdeck mount.

JConcepts Chasers 1/8th off-road tyre

JConcepts’ new Chasers 1/8th buggy tyres rely on hefty, medium lugs which are angular in multiple directions. The horizontal type tread has a striking similarity to the trusty Crossbow tyre but the Chasers have a lower, closer lug arrangement which gives improved responsiveness and bites in medium, high and low grip conditions. The wet and dry condition tyre has small recessed cuts in the top of the tread for extra edges and increased formability over terrain. The centre overlapping bar treatment increases durability in the highest wear region of the tyre. Included come JConcepts’ latest Dirt-Tech inserts and the tyre will become available in blue, green and red compound.

Blaze Racing Yokomo R12 rear pod conversion

Blaze Racing introduce a rear pod conversion kit for the Yokomo R12 1/12th scale pan car that allows to run CRC’s slider rear end to combine the best of both worlds. The set includes three new carbon fibre parts cut from 2.5mm material; the lower plate, the upper plate and the rear brace. The conversion allows to run oil side dampers while retaining the standard Yokomo geometry and it comes without the needed CRC alloy parts.
