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.
