Team Associated has added a new 1.50mm (1.5D) wire spring lineup to tune its RC8B4.1 1:8 Buggy for the un-groomed and bumpy surfaces encountered at DNC and Silver State. As part of ongoing 1:8 scale development, the team noticed that the current line of 1.6mm wire springs perform well on a higher grip fast layout, but struggled for consistent grip on un-groomed tracks. Changing the wire diameter to 1.5mm gives the spring a different natural frequency and stress on the wire, so it can more easily compress and conform to the track surface in lower grip. Coupled with new softer rates in the front and rear, the new spring lineup is ideal for un-groomed surfaces where traction is at a premium. Both front and rear springs are shortened from the previous kit (front spring from 70mm to 68mm, and rear springs from 86mm to 83mm free length) to optimise the package with the new lower RC8B4.1 shock towers.

In its third new engine release of 2024, Ielasi Tuned presents an all new .21 engine for 1:8 Offroad racing with the Terra. A replacement for their previous Dirt and Dusty engines, for a few months now the latest engine has been “secretly” used by the Italian engine tuner’s official drivers with excellent results. Compared to their previous Offroad engine offerings, the Terra satisfies all the requirements that a top of the range engine must have to be within everyone’s reach from professional to amateur: Performance/Quality/Price all in one engine!!! This commercial choice was fundamental for Daniele Ielasi as he believes that even in Offroad, having a single top-of-the-range engine allows him to concentrate economic development forces in a single engine while also managing to have a competitive price for everyone. Technically, the new Terra is an exclusive Ielasi Tuned engine because while all the engine components are produced as by O.S. Engines they have been chosen one by one according to Ielasi’s technical specifications, this engine with this set of components is not part of the series O.S. Engines range.
