Adding to its line-up of aftermarket up grade parts for the Team Associated B84, Revolution Design has released this Aluminium Bellcrank Set to improve the steering system on the 1:10 4WD Buggy. Machined from high-quality 7075 aluminium, it replaces the stock plastic parts, providing enhanced durability and precision. The rigid design minimises steering play, resulting in a more direct and accurate steering response.
Racing upgrade parts producer Klinik RC has released a 5mm Carbon Fibre Front Top Brace and a 3mm Carbon Fibre Center Diff Plate for the new MP11 1:8 Buggy from Kyosho. The 5mm Carbon Fibre Front Top Brace is precision machined from solid 5mm Carbon Fibre in their new 3d stepped profile for maximum strength and weight reduction. The Center Diff Plate is machined from solid 3mm Carbon Fibre and also features the 3d stepped profile for greater strength and weight reduction.
R1 Wurks has released this Lightweight Center Differential Cap for the Team Associated B84 1:10 4WD Buggy platform. Made from 7075 T6 aluminium and precision-machined for reduced weight, it lowers rotational inertia to boost acceleration, giving stock racers a competitive edge. Weighing in at just 2.924 grams, this cap is 42.18% lighter than the standard kit part. Benefits of the reduced weigh include improved acceleration and better braking response. With a premium black anodised finish, the cap is completed with laser-etched R1 Wurks logos.
MRO Racing, the company behind the radical ultra low profile design Inspire4 1:10 4WD buggy project, has announced it is also working on a 2WD Buggy. While emphasising that the Inspire project is still some time away from reaching final production stages, MRO Racing say the philosophy they are pursuing is comparable to that of Gerd Strenge at the beginning of 2000 with his Team Durango. That is to build a small series, mostly at their own premises, and try to win over a small number of drivers. Announcing earlier this year that Strenge had joined the project to bring his extensive knowledge of RC car manufacturing, like the Inspire4 the 2WD is designed entirely by David Orbell. Currently working with one early stage Inspire2 prototype they are using a heavily modified Inspire4, configured as a 2WD, to validate several of the core design concepts. Ttrack testing with the modified Inspire4 they have benchmarked handling and setup flexibility gaining valuable data to feed back into the Inspire2’s prototype design. The dedicated Inspire2 prototype is now moving into its own test phase. Giving an overview of the Inspire2, MRO Racing say it ‘builds on the knowledge and DNA we developed with the Inspire4, but takes things further with its own unique innovations’ adding it is, ‘designed to respond predictably and effectively to setup changes with a large operational window.’ It will feature a conventional chassis layout, but with their own unique spin on packaging and geometry and what they claim is ‘the lowest center of gravity ever achieved in a 2WD buggy format.’ As can be seen by the released Inspire2 CAD images it has a low-drag, high-downforce bodywork to maximise aero efficiency.
German company Kaemtech Racing Products has released this Stiffener Set for the Yokomo MO2.0 1:10 4WD Buggy. CNC machined from 3mm carbon, the set has been specially developed for mid/high grip tracks. With the set containing two carbon stiffner options, one long and one short, you can customise the flex characteristics of the buggy depending on the track requirements. Mounting hardware is also included in the set.
New from T-Works is this Adjustable Nozzle Buggy Fuel Filter suitable for 1:10 and 1:8 offroad use. Equipped with an adjustable fuel pipe nozzle enabling precise positioning of the fuel line, the filter body is made of aluminium alloy. The pre-installed filter screen filters out fuel impurities with an additional replacement filter screen supplied with the unit. View more images here
New from Revolution Design come these B84 Aluminium HD Suspension Mounts to maximum strength and precision on the Team Associated B84 buggy. Made from high-quality 7075 aluminium, these suspension mounts deliver outstanding durability and are significantly stronger than the stock parts. The black anodised finish with chamfered edges and laser engraving not only adds a premium look but also ensures long-lasting performance. The complete set includes all four mounts (A, B, C, D), giving you the option to fully upgrade your B84 to heavy-duty suspension mounts. For those who only need specific positions, each mount is also available separately.
US offroad kit manufacturer Tekno RC has introduced this new Droop Gauge for 1:8 Buggy/Truggy use. Precision-machined from aluminium, laser-etched, and anodised in their signature colour for durability and easy readability, the gauge’s hinged droop blocks are 40mm in height, made from a strong and lightweight composite, which saves space in your pit bag and also protects your chassis surface by preventing scratches. With traditional droop measuring methods relying on overall shock length and often produce misleading and inconsistent results, due to variables like hub height and shock mounting position affecting the reading, the Tekno RC Droop Gauge eliminates these issues by measuring what actually matters – the driveshaft position in relation to the chassis. With a range from -8mm to +8mm, you can quickly and accurately dial in your setup for any track condition. A universal gauge, it can be used with all 1:8 offroad race vehicles.
