STRC Axial Wraith aluminium options

STRC Axial Wraith aluminium options

STRC have produced suspension links for the Axial Wraith out of heavy duty CNC machined aluminium. Instead of going with the cheaper looking aluminium tube design, these lower and upper suspension links feature the same lightweight design as the stock plastic pieces with weight saving holes drilled out in the suspension links while preserving the same thickness as the stock plastic pieces that makes these links near indestructible. The stock plastic steering linkage on the Axial Wraith is also a weak point on this vehicle, as the stock pieces tend to be sloppy and weak in transferring the torque and power coming from the steering servo. These CNC Machined Aluminium Steering link features 7mm thick aluminium tubes for lower and upper steering links. The upper link features a slight bend that allows for all the power and torque from the servo to be transferred in a perpendicular angle to the arm of the knuckle to ensure no power is loss in the transfer. Suspension links and steering links available in Gun Metal, Black, Green and Silver.

JConcepts B44.1 Finnisher body

JConcepts-Finnisher-B44_1

After releasing the Finnisher body shell for the Associated B4.1 JConcepts now comes up with the 4WD variant in the form of the B44.1 Finnisher shell. Designed with aspects learned from the Punisher line of bodies, the new design provides an even more aggressive look with included details which remain crucial to performance. The increased windshield angle provides a steady force upfront during mid-flight wind gusts on large jumps and forward cab placement changes the performance and visible bias which helps steering rotation in low traction corners. The side-pods have been simplified and JC chamfered to remove unwanted changes in height to neutralise the at-speed handling. The B44.1 Finnisher body is a drop fit for the Associated B44.1 buggy and comes including two 6.5″ wide Hi-Clearance rear wings used by Ryan Maifield at the IFMAR World Championships.
