Team Associated RC10B74.2 & B74.2D Team Kit

Team Associated have released their new RC10B74.2 & B74.2D Team Kit 1:10 buggies.  As tires, motors, batteries, and tracks evolve, Team Associated adapts and improves with every iteration of the RC10. Their engineers set out to extract more performance from the RC10B74 4WD buggy platform with the introduction of the RC10B74.2 and RC10B74.2D. The goal was to reduce overall weight, lower the centre of gravity, and improve jump and bump handling. The RC10B74.2 and RC10B74.2D introduce molded gearboxes front and rear, which lower the centre of gravity by removing weight from high points of the car. They have also modified the differentials to improve rolling speed through turns and increase stability on landings, allowing the buggy to corner faster on high-grip carpet and clay tracks. The latest 13mm big bore shock technology from Team Associated is included, taking the RC10B74.2 to the next level in jump and bump handling performance. The introduction of gull wing front suspension arms and the inclusion of the LTC gear sets for the differentials make the RC10B74.2 platform easier and more predictable to drive on any track condition.

PR Racing S1 V4R FM

PR Racing has released the latest model in their 1:10 2WD Buggy line-up, the V4R FM. Retaining the main elements of the previous V3R, the V4R has more chassis flex options and quick adjustment design concepts. In terms of chassis design the 3mm thick chassis has more CNC machining done to create a lighter part along with moving the the car’s centre of gravity to a more optimised position. In the battery mounting, a change has been made to the mounting arm system, which increase chassis flex and also keeps the battery retainment method of the V3R.  By using the V3R battery retainer plates, chassis flex can be decreased if needed.  The front to rear weight can be quickly changed by moving the battery pack forward or back with ease.  A new quick access gearbox allows for faster adjustments of gear diff and easy maintenance of ball diffs. The PR V4R FM inherits the stability of the previous generation and builds on it. For owners with a spare parts bank already, they will be happy to know that instead of a completely new model, PR Racing have only redesigned the parts that needed to be. This makes it very easy to upgrade your previous model with the latest parts.
