Team Associated RC8 delayed until August

Associated RC8

According to a brief report from our partners Buggy Sport, the eagerly awaited RC8 buggy from Team Associated has been delayed further and now wont be available until August. Thats pretty sucky for all you people who were waiting on this car and although the delay was predicted by some, it sucks when its confirmed.

UPDATE: Phil, over at partners Neo Buggy, needs a new job as it appears he has too much time on his hands….

RB Products L2G Cooling head

RB L2G Cooling head

Lowering the center of gravity is a main concern for any driver and this is why the R&D department of RB designed a new lightened head for a lower center of gravity. Using magnesium was a first step, but the heat conductivity of this material is pretty different compared to the aluminium and that is why Rody Roem designed a brand new head to have more fins around the hot spot of the plug. This Light head fits any RB engine which comes with a separate combustion chamber: it receives a dark grey coating and the new L2G logotype. This head will be produced in a limited quantity as an optional part and will be available in mid May.

OCM Racing Kaos DT-19T Studio pics

OCM Racing Kaos DT-19T

Our mates Rube Dude have the first studio pics of the soon to be released OCM Kaos DT-19T, that we showed you last week. This car is now ready for release and will include all the innovative features we have come to expect from OCM in their buggy range but it will sport a few others. The Diffs on this baby will be nice and solid from what we understand sporting 6mm diff output shafts and large sun gear that is 2.5mmx11.8mm.Â And of course OCM uses the finest aircraft grade alloys and hard anodising on all its parts so this truggy will not only be turning heads but should also be very competitive.
