The Exo Terra Buggy RTR builds on the Exo kit version which features a variety of fully licensed, realistic features including a licensed Griffin radiator, licensed Hankook Dynapro MT tires and Raceline Renegade wheels. To meet the demands of today’s performance thirsty drivers, Axial worked with Castle Creations to develop a brushless system that had power and the ability to handle popular 3S Lipo battery packs (not included) for an incredible, high performance experience right out of the box.

Serpent 747 option parts

Serpent have released a number of new optional parts for their new 1/10th 200mm chassis, the 747. First up is this lightweight CNC machined upper bumper made from high quality carbon fibre, which comes complete with aluminium posts and fasteners. Next up is a CNC machined radio plate support made from 7075 T6 aluminium and grey anodized. This support will increase chassis stiffness in the central section of the car while the 2 mounting lugs on the side of the part, allow the optional carbon side stiffener, used to reduce flex. The final two parts are anti-roll bar and lower shock mount extensions, machined from carbon fibre, which allow the ARB to be mounted more to the outside and the shocks more to the outside for a harder setting on both.

JConcepts Finnisher for Associated RC8.2E

JConcepts have released their Finnisher body for the Associated RC8.2E 1/8th Electric buggy. Increased windshield angle provides a steady force upfront during mid-flight wind gusts on large jumps while the forward cab placement changes performance / visible bias which helps steering rotation in low traction corners. The side-pods have a strong and chiseled look, including a recessed area in the rear which allows another option for air-escape. The chassis side-guard to body fit has been tightened up which helps eliminate large empty voids that contribute to mid-flight directional changes. The area behind the cab has been greatly lowered exposing more of the engine heat-sink allowing more heat-escape while the V-stepped feature which is a highlighted styling cue of the Finnisher buggy bodies has been incorporated toward the rear and allows an additional area that can be trimmed to allow air-flow through the body.

RS6 conversion for Tamiya TA06

R Sector have introduced their RS6 Conversion kit for the Tamiya TA06. Its unique structure allow it to maintain stiffness without a permanent upper deck, although when the removable upper deck is in place additional stiffness will be added to the chassis. The new layout means that the battery is now removed from the top with just two thumb screws. A specially designed one piece front steering bulkhead is connected to the chassis braces for a more rigid front end structure, while the rear chassis support is a critical part of the design because it is there to maintain the stiffness of the rear section and to protect the battery from the heat of the motor. Other features include a redesigned aluminium motor bridge for a wider selection of motors and the mounting of a high performance low profile cooling fan for better cooling.
