Associated B74.1 drivetrain option parts

Some new option parts are available now from Team Associated for the RC10B74.1 and RC10B74.1D buggy. Replace steel CVA cups with light-weight aluminium or tune the slipper clutch power delivery with the 3-Pad Conversion. Replace the centre CVA cups with these Factory Team 7075 aluminium versions over the kit steel type to shed rotating weight (4.7 grams) for faster acceleration. The 3-Pad slipper conversion is a complete parts set to change a RC10B74.1 slipper from the kit 2-pad slipper to a 3-pad slipper clutch. The kit design is a 11mm I.D. pad with a heavy 500lb/in spring, ideal for high-load carpet, while the 3-pad conversion is a standard 19mm I.D. pad with a softer spring, which delivers a smoother throttle feel with slower engagement for racers wanting a softer clutch feel.

JConcepts JCI M117 Lloyd body

The new JCI M117 Lloyd body by JConcepts is the definition of square body design with plenty of room underneath its large footprint for an assortment of accessories, electrical, transmission and suspension layouts. The M117 has a military side and once detailed with included distressed stars, JConcepts logos, headlight and grille, the new body transforms a rig in to a battle tested utility truck. With a lot of popular 12.3” wheelbase trucks on the market, the JConcepts team focused on the Lloyd being versatile enough to top the best rigs in the market. With large flange fenders the shell makes space for large tires which produce the best grip, flex and allow articulation. The straight panel layout, with recessed and ridged details help the body maintain its strong physique. Work your way up the almost 90 degree windshield angle is a chore but scale inspired cab and canvas like top with heavily bordered windows is what makes the M117 a classic.

SWorkz S12-2 gearbox mount & rear lower arm holder

Two new option parts for the SWorkz S12-2 with a new aluminium gearbox mount and brass rear lower arm holder. The gearbox support mount is a strong alloy part connecting the chassis and gearbox and will reduce the flex and twist at the rear chassis meaning the rear suspension has less grip, especially useful for high grip carpet tracks. The rear lower arm holder (RF) is made with high quality brass and weighs 15g. Built exactly the same size and shape as the stock rear lower arm holder, it can balance the rear chassis weight distribution of the S12-2 buggy.

Pro-Line Megalodon Blake Wilkey Edition desert buggy

This is a Megalodon Blake Wilkey Edition desert buggy black body from Pro-Line. The result of a collaboration with Shreddy Lyfe’s own Blake Wilkey on a re-creation of The Megalodon: a dune-shredding, wheelie-popping, supercharged V8-powered beast of a buggy. You may remember Blake from the infamous Urban Assault video tearing up the streets of San Diego. Now, you can create your own viral videos by transforming your Slash 2wd or Slash 4×4 with this officially-licensed, super scale body. All the details of Blake’s beast are captured including moulded engine details, roof-mounted air scoop, add-on rear fenders and shark-inspired side wings. Made from a durable Tough-Color black material, which means you can go full-send without any fear of paint chipping off since the black is infused directly into the material. A fully pre-cut wrap is included to deck out your Megalodon with Blake’s sponsors and signature fluorescent pink & teal livery. Window details are also included with optional Wilkey & co-pilot driver figure stickers. This body is also available as a clear version so you can customise the look and paint it however you want!

Reds Racing Durabell Gen2 clutch bells

Reds Racing’s new Gen2 clutch bell line has been specifically designed to improve the teeth compared to the previous version, making them perfect for every type of car. The new 1mm module long wear clutch bell is made of high quality steel and the special coating treatment allows the teeth to last longer than any other standard clutch bell on the market, transferring power from the clutch to the centre spur gear and the rest of the drivetrain with more efficiency and reliability. Furthermore, the special surface treatment increases surface quality and wear resistance. A special vented design also guarantees lower temperatures and more clean shoe engagement for a longer life of both bell and clutch shoes. Durabell clutch bell is available in 13T, 14T, 15T, 16T, 17T and 18T versions and are suitable for most major car brands.

Factory Team B74.1 carbon fibre options

Four new Factory Team option parts are now available for the RC10B74.1 and RC10B74.1D buggy. First up is this 31mm V2 tower which is made to adapt the larger volume 31mm rear shock bodies to your B74.1 for conditions where you need improved jump ‘flat landing’. The V2 tower is designed to work with the same setup / stroke and 27.5mm shock shaft as the kit, with no up-travel limiters required. Next up is the FT carbon fibre ESC tray, shedding 2 grams of weight (6g vs. 8g) compared with the moulded plastic version and lowering the ESC at only 1.5mm thick. Finally there is two new chassis brace support sets, both made from 2mm thick carbon fibre. The ‘Flex’ chassis brace design is narrowed along the centre line to 5mm for additional torsional flex which is an advantage on bumpy dirt tracks or uneven, multi-surface outdoor turf tracks. The other chassis brace supports are a more rigid option than the kit G10 chassis brace support, used for high traction or when racers want to tune out traction.

AKA Products Scribble truggy tire

AKA Products have announced the 1:8 truggy version of their bestselling Scribble tire. Based on the tread design of the 1:10 Scribble, the weave pattern lends support to the tread and allows for even tire wear across the surface of the tire. The voids in the Scribble pattern allow it to grip through light dust that accumulates during a race. This weave pattern also features enough rubber in the design to make sure the tire will have the wear resistance to hold up run after run. The tread and carcass has been optimised for truggy racing with a slightly taller and thinner tread to meet the desired grip and drivability needed to compete at the highest level.
