JConcepts RC10B7 Silent Speed spur gears

JConcepts has introduced the Silent Speed line of spur gears for the RC10B7 2WD Buggy from Team Associated.  Silent Speed spur gears are precision machined making them uniquely concentric over standard or molded gears giving the user a consistent gear mesh allowing a more precise adjustment and more ‘silence’ on the racetrack.  The detailed machining provides a pattern vented area and secured slipper pad on both sides giving more consistent slipper performance.  The gears are marked for size, so they are identifiable unassembled.  Silent Speed spur gears are also branded with the small JC logo for brand identification and authenticity.  The 48P Silent Speed spur gears are available in 70, 72, 75, 78, and 81T.

Kyosho Inferno MP11 1:8 Buggy

Following the showing of a ‘Prototype’ Inferno MP11 at the recent 25th anniversary of the Kyosho Masters, the Japanese manufacturer has released official images of their new 1:8 Buggy kit offering.  The first full model change since the MP10 launched in January 2019, while continuous updates have kept the MP10 updated, the MP11 takes a leap forward with an all-new design.  Key changes include a newly developed main chassis, revised suspension and drivetrain systems, and an all-new body — all engineered for elite racing performance.  One of the most significant changes is the revised front/rear weight distribution. With a more front-biased balance compared to the MP10, the MP11 delivers remarkably smooth handling that reduces driver stress.  Coupled with optimised suspension geometry, the MP11 also achieves higher cornering speeds.  The range of adjustable settings has been greatly expanded, and workability has been significantly improved — critical advantages for adapting to different track sizes and surfaces around the world.  The MP11 also debuts a completely redesigned body and a new rear wing with matching wing stays, offering high-level aerodynamic performance perfectly tuned to the chassis.

R1 Wurks B7 Ultra-Light Pro Slipper Eliminator System

R1 Wurks has released its latest iteration of their slipper eliminator system for the Team Associated B7 platform.  The focus of the Ultra-Lightweight Pro Slipper Eliminator System is on significant weight reduction, particularly in areas affecting rotational inertia, resulting in faster drivetrain spool-up, improved acceleration, and enhanced overall efficiency.  This was achieved by eliminating traditional gear-mounting screws and replacing them with a single lightweight aluminium nut, which not only reduces rotational mass but also ensures a secure, warp-free gear mount.  The Ultra lightweight comes in at just 3.4 grams (excluding gear weight) and comes with lightweight R1 Wurks titanium top shaft screw, an aluminum Lock nut, and is compatible with most aftermarket gears, including Kimbrough (gear not included).  The system comes complete with its own 8mm wrench.

Mugen Seiki MSB1 Option Parts

New from Mugen Seiki are a number of option parts for its MSB1 1:10 2WD Buggy.  The release includes a new -4mm Chassis, which as the title suggests is shorter, with the 4mm removed from behind the battery of the standard chassis.   This is said to improve turning ability on both carpet or dirt high-grip surfaces.  Also in the release are universal joint rear driveshafts which allow the suspension move more smoothly compare to the kit standard CVA drive shafts.  The standard 67mm CVA bones have also been updated.   While the standard may come out of the outdrive depending on the position of the inner hinge pin, the new 68mm CVA helps expand the range of suspension setup.  Additionally the Japanese manufacturer has added a range of new 2.5mm shock pistons.
