T-Works DLC coated MO/SO/YZ Shock Shafts

T-Works has added three new options of DLC-coated shock shaft sets to cover Yokomo’s offroad range of buggies. Intended for the Japanese manufacturer’s MS, SO and YZ shocks, the shafts are available in 41mm, 47mm and 48.6mm lengths. Made of high-quality steel and they sport a DLC surface treatment, the same as the crankshaft coating of many competition engines. The slick yet very durable surface protects the shock shaft from becoming excessively scratched or damaged while ensuring super-smooth shock action.

Leadfinger Mini-B Retro-mod body

Having released a Retro-Mod body for the 1:24 Losi Micro-B back in October, Leadfinger Racing has produced a Retro-mod body and wing for the larger 1:16 Losi Mini-B. Pushing the buggy body styling of the 1980 through the Retro-mod hastag, the South Carolina based Offroad bodyshell manufacturer is planning to expand its offering of Retro-mod bodies to some of the current 1:10 buggy brand offerings currently on the market. Modern bodyshell design, both in offroad and onroad, is always a subject that divides opinion with many feeling the current offerings are nothing like the real category which they are supposed to be based off. Earlier this week JConcepts’ new retro body release, the Protector for the Team Associated RC10B7, was met with a positive reaction.

JConcepts RC10B7 Alu C & D Mount Blocks

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.

JConcepts RC10B7 Protector Body

JConcepts have gone retro with its latest body shell creation with the release of the Protector body for the Team Associated RC10B7. The buggy that started it all in 1984 is always in style and JConcepts appreciates a stroll down memory lane and revisits the golden years of RC Racing. The new body shares some styling cues from the original days of the RC10, and RC10B4 as some of the most popular kit bodies of all-time. This is a CAD design body shell but has its roots set in the 1980’s, 1990’s, and early 2000’s with rear biased cab, smooth hood, and progressive appearing sidepods. The front nose piece is feathered on the sides and chamfered to fit between the top deck and slides under the shock tower. The roofline is centre channeled with a slight lip upfront which provides plenty of windshield visibility and clearance. The side windows are sized for coverage and to add low-profile looks. The Protector pays homage to a selection of high-performance bodies from the golden years which featured cut to the chase desert buggy design and appeal. Included in each package are two of the popular Carpet | Turf | Dirt wings that are designed to mount to the standard RC10B7 rear wing mounts and geometry.
