Schelle B64 short wheelbase kit & EB410 LiPo strap

Schelle Racing Innovations have introduced new option parts for the Team Associated B64 and the Tekno RC EB410 1/10th 4WD buggies. First up is the 2mm short wheelbase kit for the B64, a set that includes modified standard material rear arms that reduce the wheelbase by 2mm for increased rear weight bias, giving more traction in the turns and a more predictable on exit. The shorter wheelbase also increases weight transfer on power, giving better drive to exit the turns on both dirt and carpet/astro. The set includes the modified rear arms, 2mm 3-D-printed pin spacers, 7mm 3-D-printed standoffs as well as 30mm shock screws.

Polish Electric Off-road Nationals Rd3 – Report

The third round of the Polish Electric Off-road Nationals was held at the Warsaw Comic Con and Ptak Expo in front of thousands of spectators. While 2WD Buggy class was pretty much controlled from the very beginning until the very end by Yokomo driver Bartek Zambrzycki, 4WD appeared to be an open battle between three drivers: Bartek Zambrzycki (Yokomo), Sebastian Migal (Xray), and Bartek Zalewski (Xray). Lap times were close together and the qualifying results only varied by seconds. However, it is Bartek Zambrzycki again who took TQ and top podium position after the deciding third A-main. The runner-up spot in both classes went to Sebastian Migal from Bartek Zalewski who rounded out the podium results.

RDRP B64, XB2 & XB4 titanium lower shock screw sets

Revolution Design Racing Products have introduced three sets of lower titanium shock screws for the Team Associated B64, as well as the Xray XB2 and XB4 series of buggies. The high-quality fasteners do away with the standard steel screws and they are of a shouldered design that only has threaded sections where they are needed, while areas to which the lower shock eyelet bushings attach are of a plain design for improved durability. The screw heads are also unique in the way that they feature dual 2mm and 5.5mm hex sections that allow to use 2mm hex or 5.5mm nut drivers to fasten or loosen the screws. Included in the sets are two front and two rear shock mounting screws.
