Grand Prix 3D Retro-Mod RCX’36 conversion kit

Australia’s Grand Prix 3D has introduced a new Retro-Mod RCX’36 conversion kit designed primarily for using a Team Associated B6.4 or B6.3 as a donor car. The all-new GP3D Retro-Mod RCX’36 conversion kit brings back the old-school charm of the legendary ’89 RC10 Stealth. And with the IFMAR 1:10 Electric Buggy Worlds returning to Australia exactly 36 years later, there’s no better time to recapture a piece of RC history, now with a modern edge. Simply take your donor car, add the RCX’36 conversion kit, drop in your favourite electronics, and marvel at the beauty of a rear-motor setup, carbon fibre, and that classic white plastic.

Revolution Design B7 Ultra LCG 7075 Alu Chassis

Revolution Design Racing Products has released this Ultra LCG Aluminium Chassis for the Team Associated RC10B7 1:10 2WD Buggy. Made from high-quality 7075-T6 aluminium, it combines extreme durability with optimised flex characteristics. The Ultra LCG Chassis design lowers both the motor and battery position, significantly shifting the centre of gravity downward resulting in improved cornering, increased traction, and a more direct driving feel. The chassis offers two servo mounting positions. Choose the original servo position if you prefer the factory-standard setup or utilise the new +5 mm forward servo position for increased steering response and a more agile driving feel making it ideal for tight and technical tracks. Included with the chassis is a 5mm carbon motor plate, allowing the motor to be positioned further forward. Additionally, the supplied Team Associated 81T spur gear moves the motor even closer to the centre of the vehicle, further optimizing weight distribution and reducing rotational inertia for faster direction changes.

Xray XB2 5G Gear Box Conversion Set

Xray has released this optional 5G Gearbox Conversion Set for its XB2 1:10 2WD Buggy. Offering significant handling improvement in medium to high traction conditions it keeps the buggy flatter making it easier to drive. Moving the motor further forward, this helps with gaining corner speed and increasing rotation. The gearbox integrates with the flat chassis brace and provides enhanced performance on any surface. Featuring 6 chassis fixation points, this design eliminates the need for additional support from the previous waterfall chassis brace and allows moving the battery even closer to the motor when needed on lower traction levels. Removing the waterfall brace also contributes to the lower CG of the XB2’25.

JConcepts MBX8 P2 Body

JConcepts latest 1:8 Buggy body shell, the P2, is now available for the Mugen Seiki MBX8 platform. The P2 design debuted in 1:8 at the last year’s Mugen Challenge and was then used at IFMAR 1:8 Offroad World Championship in Spain, having originally been created for the 1:10 racing. Building up a prototype using styling cues from the World Championship winning body used by Spencer Rivkin in 2019, and reaching back to 2010, JConcepts experimented with a tall stabilising fin on the rear of the body. They also incorporated a small mini fin placed behind the rear of the cab that does not interfere with the engine head. In the rear, the ramping feature that is so popular on the P2, creeps up behind the cab and engine head to create extra force and stability. The P2 is offered in both standard and lightweight options.
