Avid RC RC10B7 72T Direct Drive Pro Kit

US racing upgrade parts producer Avid Racing Concepts has released this 72T Direct Drive Pro Kit for Team Associated’s RC10B7 1:10 2WD buggy.  The kit allows stock racers to remove the entire clutch assembly for conditions where the driver feels having less rotating mass and zero slip except from the differential is beneficial.  This system is the lightest direct drive unit available today coming in at 6.45-grams with a 72T (2.62-grams with no spur).  It includes two machined delrin 72T spurs that are lightweight at 3.32-grams and quiet due to the true teeth.  The Spurs gears are also sold separately to upgrade the standard Triad Direct Drive.

JConcepts Jato P2 body

JConcepts has announced the release of their popular P2 body shell for the entry level/basher Jato 1:8 Electric Buggy from Traxxas.  Having originally been created for the 1:10 racing, the P2 design was carried into 1:8 last year.  The channeling concept of the P2 body begins in the front with a forward based windshield which is heavily recessed with vertical railing.  The continuation of the design flows over the cockpit, digs deep into the rear section where it re-appears to a double winglet placed just in front of the rear tires in the horizontal plane. The identifiable feature which debuted in 2010, the centre fin is present on the world championship winning shell design and runs most of the complete length from cab to the rear shocks.
