Yokomo SO3.0 2WD Buggy

Yokomo has announced the upcoming release of their latest 1:10 2WD Buggy offering the SO3.0. Coming 15-months after the launch of its predecessor the SO2.0, the Japanese manufacturer claim their newest competition buggy oﬀers even better performance on high-grip surfaces and is capable of cornering at higher speeds. Key changes to the new car are a longer main chassis which provides a sense of stability, while the front weight loading and other features improve ground contact and bring out the vectors that propel the machine forward in the corners. The motor mount has a lower centre of gravity, and the front and rear shock towers have been modified with aerodynamics in mind to establish a sharper ride. The suspension arms, front/rear hub carriers, gearbox, bulkheads, and other parts are all graphite molded parts for a higher response when driving.

Team Associated RC10 Team Car Gold Edition Kit

Continuing its series of re-releases of RC10 kits, Team Associated has announced the Team Car Gold Edition Kit of its iconic 1:10 2WD Buggy. Originally released back in 1990, the RC10 Team Car was an upgraded version of the base model RC10 Championship Edition (6011), which was also released that same year. The RC10 Team Car was the latest state-of-the-art, 2WD off-road racing buggy in the world and was the first RC10 to feature the Stealth ATC Transmission, hard anodised shocks with PTFE coating, and updated suspension geometry. At the 1990 Off-Road ROAR Nationals, Team Associated finished 1st, 2nd, and 3rd using these new parts. Cliff Lett took first place at the Nationals, which didn’t surprise anyone, but the big surprise was Brent Wallace and J.D. Beckwith, both who finished 2nd and 3rd at the very first race using the new Stealth transmission. There were many similar reports of equal success from racers all around the world after using the Stealth transmission in their older RC10’s. Later, some of these parts would eventually be included in the RC10 Team Car kit.

1up Racing 1:10 Buggy Foam Pro Cutting Jig

New from 1up Racing is this Foam Pro Cutting Jig for 1:10 Buggy. A first of its kind, the Foam Pro offers racers a precise and efficient tool for cutting open cell rear buggy foams with 2mm increment adjustments from 28-38mm. Cutting buggy rear foam inserts is an underrated but powerful tuning option for carpet buggy racing. Not only does it eliminate inconsistency in foam widths out of the package, it also ensures a truer, more balanced fit inside the tire. An overpacked or unbalanced foam can create an erratic, hard to drive handling feel for your buggy. 1up Racing Factory drivers suggest cutting the foam to the exact width of your tread pattern for a more forgiving, easier-to-drive feel that also promotes more even wear across the tire. The Foam Pro is 3D printed in the USA by 1up Racing’s partners at Vargr Industries using high-quality filament for a sturdy yet lightweight build in your pit box.

JConcepts Razor pre-trimmed polycarbonate 1:8 Wing

JConcepts has introduced the Razor polycarbonate pre-trimmed wing featuring a brand-new design mimicking the injection molded Razor as closely as possible. With wing development serious business, JConcepts has responded with a technically advanced alternative for 1:8 racing with the Razor polycarbonate incorporating a multi-height layout which allows the wing to sit in a lower stance and the centre section allows the included centre divider to be added as another tuning option. The pre-trimmed 1.5mm polycarbonate wing formed in heavy-duty material includes a pre-trimmed centre divider together in the same package. The wing is refined with taller side-dams, and taller rear gurney with trim lines and dimples finished on the part. Angular sections blend nicely into the high-performance shape giving a location for that initial step and transition to the wing’s gurney position. At the base of the wing rests the “fangs” that have become so popular on the 1:10 offroad carpet | turf | dirt wing. A large individual rib which supports the wing’s upper section as it transitions to the gurney is placed in the centre.
