Kaaak Racing TLR 1:10 13mm Shock bodies

Focused on high-performance parts for 1:10 offroad, new German brand Kaaak Racing has released its new 13mm shock bodies set for TLR 1:10 cars. The shocks are compatible with parts from the 3mm G3 shocks by TLR, with the exception that 13mm pistons are required. It is particularly noteworthy that the inner surface of the T7075 shock body material has been left uncoated, with a focus on achieving a high surface quality instead. The full set of 4 bodies is made up of 2x 36.5mm front and 2x 42mm rear bodies.

JConcepts RC10B7 Aero Upper Wing

New from JConcepts is this Aero Upper Wing for the Team Associated RC10B7 1:10 2WD Buggy platform. Aerodynamics is a key point on any vehicle, and particularly 1:10 offroad vehicles, and JConcepts regularly experiments with aero features throughout the entire product line. Front wings are not a new concept, however, they are new to the latest generation of vehicles with demanding high-speed and grippy circuits. Together with their team drivers, they have developed a new high-performance front wing for the Team Associated RC10B7. Mounted above the front shock tower, the Aero front wing mounts in “clean air” and is quite easy to trim, use and test without sacrificing all important track time. This option is made to fit updated shock guard and tower pieces made available by Team Associated. The Aero wing features a high-attack design with trim-able rear gurney options. A radical, edgy design which functions and compliments the Finnisher, Silencer, and Punisher body design includes elements and features fresh for the latest offroad conditions.

Schumacher Cougar 2 Works ‘Classic’

Schumacher has announced it is to launch the Cougar 2 Works ‘Classic’ which they describe as ‘a homage to one of the most beautiful and best performing buggies ever created. The Cougar 2 Works was the ultimate development of the Schumacher aluminium pan chassis 2WD buggies of the late 80’s and early 90’s. The Cougar 2 Works ‘Classic’ is a reproduction of this Iconic buggy, with subtle improvements to durability and battery fitting, for modern vintage racing. It features an eye catching violet anodised chassis and motor plates. It includes high performance period option parts such as roller driveshafts, carbon fibre shock towers, ‘Works’ suspension geometry and low friction ‘Pro’ spec shock absorbers. Dealer pre-orders are being taken with kits due late December 2024.

RSRC MP10T/MP10Te Carbon Fibre parts

RSRC, the brand of multiple European 1:8 Buggy Champion and factory Kyosho driver Reno Savoya, has extended their carbon fibre parts range with suspension arm insets for the Kyosho MP10T/MP10Te 1:8 Truggy. They have designed a ‘sandwich panel’ system that leaves the internal reinforcements of the suspension untouched, with a 1mm plate on top and a 1mm plate underneath. This will greatly improve the wishbone strength during big hits with very few front lower arm breaks due to the stiffeners. It also improve handling making the truggy more precision. The ‘sandwich panel’ fits the MP10T nitro and electric truggies.

Willspeed LD3 5 Gear Transmission

Willspeed has announced the release of their first drop fit 5 gear gearbox casing/conversion on the Schumacher LD3 2WD Buggy platform. This is an inclusive conversion that includes two aluminium machined case halves, hardware and enclosed gear cover to fit that 5 gear goodness to your Schumacher LD3. The gearbox relocates the motor +21mm further forward compared to the standard location, a popular setup option in modern off road buggy racing for improving corner speed in medium to high traction scenarios. They have selected the idler gear size to maximise efficiency and reliability, maintaining a higher tooth count provides a fuller tooth engagement, notably even more so on the 32dp gear pitch that Schumacher uses. Maintaining the same gear size as the standard LD3 also allows choice between using Schumacher’s gears or our own WS PEEK gears. The design retains the use of the original gearbox top to maintain the quick diff access. Please note, due to the relocation of the motor, this also relocates the spur gear, meaning the bodyshell must be cut around our included enclosed gear cover. Gearbox halves manufactured in 6082 Aluminium. Gear cover manufactured from Nylon.
