T-Works roll out B74 optionals

Coming from T-Works and made for the new Team Associated B74 buggy are a couple of option parts such as titanium ball ends, turnbuckles and screw sets. First up is a 14-piece ball end set that is machined from high-quality 64 grade titanium. The parts replace the standard ball ends for items of lower weight and greater corrosion resistance. Also new is a 7-piece set of titanium turnbuckles. Like the ball ends the parts will lower the overall weight while offering cool looks and greater corrosion resistance. Last but not least come two screw kits – a 119-piece UFO head titanium set and a 144-piece gold-colour steel fastener kit. The titanium set will again make for a weight reduction while the golden screws mainly add bling.

VSR Products NB/EB48.8 wing shims

VSR Products’ popular 1/8 scale wing shims are now available for the Tekno 1/8th scale platforms. The addition of the 7mm or 10mm wing shim elevates the rear wing of the NB48.4 or EB48.8. Raising the rear wing creates more downforce and stability at high speeds and on large jumps, and has worked well on large high-speed and bumpy tracks. Raising the wing allows it to create more consistent downforce, thus making a more consistent car throughout the corner. Both 3-D-printed shims come with two metric screws to replace the stock ones, and offers a tuning option between no shim and the VSR 10mm shim.

JConcepts Krimson Dually 2.6″ truck wheels

Coming from JConcepts are their new Krimson Dually truck wheels for the use with Fling King tyres. In the 1980’s it was very common for early Monster Truckers to use dual wheel tires to accomplish what one large Terror Tire could do. With a lot of garage-tech engineering and ingenuity, the dual wheel trucks could crush a car with the best of them while also running a mud pit in the blink of an eye. JConcepts has designed and produced a very special wheel for builders and drivers wanting to double up on the competition. The 2.6” Krimson Dually is a first of its kind, a purpose built, 2-piece, 12mm hex wheel which fit dual JConcepts Fling King tires to perfection. Like the originals, the wheel is 2-piece which accomplishes many things in the process. The use of an inner and outer wheel allows ease of build and gluing of the tires while aligning and perfecting the ultimate mud tire combination.

Stafford & McGee win at BRCA EP Buggy Rd3

Round 3 of the BRCA 1/10th Off-road Nationals was held at Eden Park Raceway in the south-east of the UK this past weekend. On Saturday the 2WD class commenced and the weather was wet with drying conditions but with some extra rain showers over the day kept the conditions interesting with some drivers round being affected.
Schumacher driver Ellis Stafford qualified 2nd behind Team Associated driver Neil Cragg. The 3-legged A-final was hard fought, with Ellis fighting to get past Neil. With matching scores overall but with a 2nd place and a faster winning final time gave Ellis the win he deserved. Nathan Ralls (Xray) had to settle for 3rd overall. Sunday was a much brighter day with sunny spells and only a very brief shower. Ellis Stafford took TQ this time with Danny Mcgee close behind in 2nd spot. The finals were hard fought by all with an early mistake from Ellis Stafford left Danny in 2nd but Neil Cragg was able to get past Danny and take the win in the first leg. In leg 2 Ellis, Danny and Neil had a battle, with Danny getting into the lead but after a retirement from Danny this left it to Ellis to take the win with Ed Kerry getting 2nd. The last leg meant that four cars could win it, Ellis unfortunately made an early mistake dropping down the field which meant Danny Mcgee had a lot of pressure from Neil Cragg for a majority of the race but defended superbly until Neil made a few mistakes which allowed Tom Cockerill to catch up and take the second spot. With the race over and with a win and a second from Danny he took the win and his first 4WD in his racing career as Neil Cragg and Ed Kerry completed the podium.
