Bezerk RC B64 top decks, shock towers & steering plates

Bezerk RC have introduced a range of carbon fibre option parts for the Team Associated B64 range of buggies. First is a carbon front topdeck in solid heavy duty or a light version. Both are made using quality 2.5mm carbon fibre and they come with a neat spacer to fit underneath the front section for better support when tightening. The decks are countersunk at the front to accept the standard screws. Next are middle camberlink length option towers  in a single standard front height, and three rear options of tall, standard height and high roll centre. Lastly are the 0/6 degree steering plates. Bezerk have had 3/9 deg variants available for some time and the new option fits nicely in-between, giving racers every step needed in two steering plates. Every 1mm added to the rack subtracts 1 degree, so racers have everything from -2 deg to 9 degrees of Ackermann adjustment.

PR Racing PRS1V3 low-profile body shell

PR Racing have introduced a new low-profile body shell for the PRS1V3 2WD buggy. With its special design the body is about 35 percent lower than the standard lid, which lowers the overall centre of gravity for improved rotation on high-speed tracks while also scrubbing weight thanks to the lightweight polycarbonate material used. With its optimised airflow the body also increases overall stability and it is a direct fit on the S1V3 FM kit.
