Spektrum DX5 Rugged green 5-channel DSMR transmitter

Spektrum have introduced their new DX5 Rugged transmitter in green colour and with an updated touch panel, from previous DX5 Rugged releases, that features better feel, control and operation. The 5-channel surface transmitter redefines radio control with a level of durability to match the tough conditions off-roaders, bashers and boaters encounter constantly. Soektrum started with a chassis based on the superb Spektrum ergonomic design found on the popular DX5C and competition favourite DX5 Pro. From there, the designers integrated cordless power tool feature ideas for the die-hard punishment those products endure. The result is a RC system with unmatched durability in addition to other innovative features that unite with a level of precision, versatility and convenience you won’t want to play without.

Revolution Design B74 aluminium centre diff case

Revolution Design Racing Products’ aluminium centre differential case for the Team Associated B74 was developed to keep the drivetrain as consistent as possible over the whole run. The case is machined from aircraft-grade 7075-T6 aluminium and its design helps with heat dissipation in demanding racing conditions. Using the case not only improves the precision of the drivetrain, the greatly improves heat transfer also keeps the diff oil much cooler – compared to using the standard plastic case – which results in a much more consistent drivetrain behaviour over the full run; even in high ambient temperatures. The diff case comes hard-anodised for wear and looks and it includes a set of suitable hard-anodised aluminium inner cross pins for the internal gears. The part fits the B74 buggy equipped with the standard centre differential.
