Team Azarashi, the off road body specialists have shown photos of their Womoog prototype shell for the European and Japanese Championship winning Yokomo B-Max4 EP buggy. The body offers high levels of stability and a cool new look and the photos here show the almost final version, with only small modifications needing to be made before the body’s release in the near future.
New from Diggity Designs for the Team Associated B44 are a range of ‘Super Flexy’ carbon parts. Featuring a different design to the stock items, they allow for more twist to help create more traction on low bite, rough, bumpy and rutted tracks. There are 3 different parts available, a centre brace, a front upper deck and a rear upper deck, and they have been made from 2.5mm thick carbon fibre and are each sold separately.

New from Florida based JConcepts are 3 new tires types, Sevens, Crowbars & Crossbows. Sevens are a result of 2-years of research and development on the world and national 1/8th buggy circuit. They incorporate the small pin design of the Double Dee’s combined with directional and functional undertones which produce increased grip while reducing wear. Wear is always the trade off when going to a small pin tire and with the Sevens these worries are a thing of the past. Running qualifiers and main events on the same quick tire is now possible. Combining the unique Sevens lug technology with the sticky yellow and blue compound allow the flexibility necessary to compete on even the most demanding surfaces for an extended period of time. These new tires excel on hard packed or blue groove conditions where the track surface has started to take rubber. Available in Medium Yellow or Soft Blue compounds.

New from Traxxas for the Slash is this big bore shock kit for the ultimate in bump and jump control. These fully assembled precision dampers are the perfect addition to the popular Slash Pro 2WD Short-Course truck, using machined aluminium bodies for consistent action lap after punishing lap, with a hard-anodized finish for extra strength. Also new from Traxxas, but for the gas powered Slayer is a new centre differential which helps balance power distribution from the TRX 3.3 Racing Engine to reduce front end lift on acceleration and improve steering responsiveness. When used with the dual-disc rear brake kit, brake bias and power distribution can be adjusted independently for maximum performance in various conditions. This is the perfect combination for putting power to the ground in rough terrain and maximizing corner speed.
