T-Works has updated their range of steel chassis skid protectors to include the Xray XB4’25 1:10 4WD buggy. Made from stainless steel, the plates are designed to provide protection for the buggy’s chassis against scratches which are part of the wear & tear that comes with offroad racing. Offered in a front plate or rear plate, each option comes supplied as a pack of two plates.
JConcepts has added to its line-up of accessories for the RC10B7 from Team Associated with these aluminium C and D mount blocks. Available in blue and black colours, the precision machined mounts are carefully crafted to accept the standard Team Associated pill inserts. The suspension mounts are a critical piece of any vehicle providing the base for adjustments such as toe-in, anti-squat and wheel base so a stout suspension mount can go a long way to assuring your vehicle is technically correct and up to specification. At 3.8 grams, the C mount is lightweight enough for the weight conscious racer but beefy enough to stand-up to the rigors of high-end modified buggy racing. It is designed as a -1 degree mount so it’s possible to realize alternate adjustments compared to the stock suspension mount. The D mount weighs in at 3.3 grams. Both mounts feature chamfer highlighted edging which improve the curb appeal and bring out the luster in any show or race ride. JConcepts logos and identification markings are located throughout to show brand loyalty and authenticity.
