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.

Made for Traxxas’ Slash 2WD and 4×4 trucks using 2.8” MT tyres is Pro-Line’s new Monster Fusion SC body shell. The pre-cut body was specifically designed to work with Pro-Line’s 2.8” monster truck tyres and it has an aggressive, low-slung look with huge fender flares to cover 2.8” Trenchers or Badlands MX2.8’s. The body is pre-cut so drivers can spend more time on the track and less in the workshop and it also features large vents to prevent high speed blow overs. The body comes clear, including window masks and a decal sheet.
Pro-Line have introduced the pre-cut Elite body shell for the Losi 5ive-B large scale race buggy. The body features an aggressive cab-forward design that drastically improves steering on the buggy so it can turn faster laps. The overall Elite body styling is based on Pro-Line’s latest 1/10th scale buggy race bodies, which look great and give enhanced performance. The body comes pre-cut to save tons of time and the front of the body tucks behind the side guards to increase durability over the stock body. Large optional vent holes are designed into the body to provide extra cooling and the rear fin adds side stability in high speed corners. 2 optional nose pieces are included: standard and front wing style.
Coming from Avid are a new B6 front shock tower for gullwing A-arm-equipped Team Associated B6 buggy as well as a front carbon fibre shock tower for the B64. Starting with the B6-related part, the gullying-type 4.5mm front shock tower is machined from heavy duty carbon fibre for added strength and stability. Addition bracing of weak areas makes the tower nearly indestructible and it adds to the already existing front flat arm and long rear shock tower.
The Conesul track in Portao hosted the 2017 South Brazilian On-road Championship recently with the event being highly impacted by the weather. The schedule already saw some limitations and even the 40-minute 200mm A-main had to be canceled at the 37-minute mark due to rain, handing Bernardo Kokemper the win and title from Luciano Aquino 2nd and Diego Nogueira 3rd.

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.
Reds Racing have expanded their off-road manifold range by adding the new long “L” manifold to the current medium, short and extra short offerings. Each manifold has been designed for different track conditions and to optimise performance. The new long version allows to increase the engine’s performance at low and medium RPM for a better throttle feeling. It is recommended for high grip tracks, however the top speed will be lower compared to the shorter manifolds.
