Factory Team RC8B4 RWB Chassis

New from Team Associated’s optional parts brand Factory Team is the RC8B4 FT RWB Chassis. It began development ahead of the 2022 IFMAR World Championships and saw race winning results with Spencer Rivkin at the 2023 TNR Challenge and Brent Thielke at the 2023 Dirt Nitro Challenge, along with A-Main performances from other team drivers during this time. The Factory Team RWB Chassis, the RWB standing for Rear Weight Bias, shifts engine, tank, centre differential, and radio tray rearward 10mm. This leads to increased rear grip in low traction, improved predictability on rough track conditions and increased rear chassis stiffness. The chassis is made from durable CNC machined 3mm 7075 aluminium with hard anodised finish and laser etching. Use of the RWB chassis requires additional #81580 front and #81581 rear centrr bones and the new RWB radio tray brace or #81433 servo spacers.

JConcepts Recon 1:8 Offroad Tyre

JConcepts has introduced their latest 1:8 Offroad tyre, the Recon, in both Buggy and Truggy sizes. Reaching into a new bag of tricks, they had a vision and created a new tire during the 2022 racing season. The Recon works and performs unlike many other tyres on the market by utilising a horizontal design that works more in a flapping and paddle movement. The horizontal bars are grouped together in diamond patterns and staggered to produce ghost sectional compartments. Once built together, the ghost sections appear as large X spaces repeated over the entire tyre body.
