Yaiba Racing RB6 mid motor rear bulkhead Ver.2

Yaiba Racing introduce the Ver.2 rear bulkhead assembly for the Kyosho RB6. Designed to fit the mid motor variant of Kyosho’s World Championship winning buggy, the new bulkhead is of a 2-piece design with a red anodised camber link plate and a black anti-roll bar and shock tower mount. The design allows the direct use of Kyosho’s anti-rollbar set while the separate camber link plate makes for easier setup and maintenance. Weighing in at around 19g the bulkhead mimics the kit’s suspension geometry for a drop fit without the need to adjust existing setups.

Team Associated B5 & B5M Team Kit

As expected earlier this week Team Associated introduce the completely new B5 2WD buggy platform. Coming as separate mid and rear motor kits the B5 will have purpose designed chassis, gearbox and suspension parts in order to provide the best possible performance on a large range of surfaces from slippery clay to the highest traction carpet tracks. While the rear motor B5 is ideally suited for low to medium grip tracks, the B5M who shares around 90 percent of the same parts as the B5, is purely designed for high grip and high speed tracks with its aluminium chassis, gull wing front suspension arms and a range of options to tune the platform for both dirt and multi-surface conditions. Team Associated so far only released body-on images but expect more details and information the coming days.

AKA Impact Evo 1/10 buggy tyres

Available now from AKA is the Impact Evo tyre range for 1/10 off-road buggies. Designed to fit AKA’s Evo wheels the tyre features a dense small square lug pattern with offset lug rows in the centre of the tyre to deliver maximum forward traction and good wear characteristics. The two outer rows of lugs are parallel to create a circumferential groove at the edge of the tire to give the tyre very predicable side bite. This allows the car to rotate in the centre of the turn while still feeling very stable and predictable entering and exiting the turn. Available in soft and super soft compounds as tyre with red insert or as pre-mounts on white or yellow Evo wheels.

JConcepts RC10 Finnisher wing buttons

Available soon from JConcepts are these Finnisher wing buttons for the RC10 buggy. Wing mounts, typically a plastic unit, can strip easily while trying to tighten the assembly. With the Finnisher aluminium wing buttons and threaded 4-40 holes, bearing down on the set-screw is easier and helps maintain a more standardised position during racing. The buttons, built in a familiar pattern for JConcepts, include a pass-through hole with chamfered edges on the hole exit for a smoother build with the wing wire. Available in blue and black colour options the buttons also fit other (vintage) buggies with wire-type wing mount.
