RDRP B74 alu fan mount

Coming from Revolution Design Racing Products is an aluminium fan mount for Team Associated’s latest B74 1/10th 4WD buggy. The item is machined from aircraft-grade 7075-T6 aluminium and it attaches to the centre chassis brace by using an already existing mounting point. The mount is designed for 30mm and 40mm fan units that are held in place with much greater reliability compared to just using double-sided tape while also adding visual impact and cool factory looks. The black anodised item comes laser-etched to show off your passion for everything RDRP and it only adds minimal weight. The fan mount is a direct fit on the B74 when using 30mm fan units. 40mm fans only fit certain body shells so some adjustments to the body height might be needed. The mount is also available including a Ruddog 30mm aluminium HV high speed cooling fan.

Hudy Chassis protector vinyl sticker

Hudy have introduced this new chassis protector vinyl sticker. Sized 360x125mm, and easily cut to fit your car, it is a great option to help protect the chassis of your 1/10th buggy. Recommended for use on new and used chassis to resist against scratches and scrapes and prolong the life of the chassis, for best results always replace the sheet when noticeable wear occurs. In addition to protecting the chassis, the protector also provides a slick and smooth chassis surface which reduces friction when contacting the race surface – especially clay. If you land hard and bottom out, your buggy should more easily slide through it and maintain momentum.

ORB Racing have released a first teaser image of their Forward called 1/10th scale 2WD front-wheel drive buggy conversion kit. The entirely new front/mid-motor platform utilises donor parts of a Team Associated B6.1D/DL buggy, doing away with the need to source discontinued Team Durango parts – as it was needed for its predecessor.

Bezerk Cat L1 carbon fibre option parts

Bezerk RC have introduced new carbon fibre option parts for the Schumacher Cat L1 4WD buggy in the form of lower shock towers and thinner upper decks. Starting with the shock towers, through testing in Australian conditions the designers have found that 4mm lower towers add the droop required for better handling on rougher terrain and make the car easier to drive on lower grip levels. The top of the front tower has been shaped the same to retain the kit plastic tower guard. The front and rear tower are cut from 4.0mm carbon fibre and they are available separately. Also new are front and rear upper decks in 2.2mm and 2.0mm variants that are both thinner than the standard kit parts for an easier to drive car in lower grip levels. The two thicknesses available allow to adapt the car further, enabling to fine-tune chassis stiffness. The top decks come as pairs separately for the front and rear and in the respective thicknesses.

Traxxas TRX-4 Mercedes-Benz G 500 4×4² trail truck

Seen for the first time at this year’s Nuremberg International Toyfair, Traxxas has now announced the official release of the TRX-4 Mercedes-Benz G 500 4×4² RTR trail truck. In 2015, Mercedes-Benz released the limited-production G 500 4×4² to stake its claim as the ultimate off-road vehicle. Outfitted with a powerful V8 engine, dynamic 4WD system, and military-grade portal axles, the G 500 4×4² had no equal. Traxxas honours the rich history of the G-Class with this highly-detailed RC replica. Based on the class-leading TRX-4, the Traxxas Mercedes-Benz G 500 4×4² features portal axles, a high/low transmission, and locking differentials for all-terrain capability. Outfitted with 2.6” replica wheels and tyres, chrome grill and skid plate, and a full complement of scale details, the TRX-4 Mercedes-Benz G 500 4×4² combines iconic style with the toughness and technology of the TRX-4 Scale and Trail crawler. Portal axles lift the truck at the wheels for huge centre pumpkin ground clearance while virtually eliminating torque twist. The TRX-4’s highly adjustable chassis offers a nearly endless supply of upgrades ranging from lift kits and portal weights to full LED light kits and tough aluminium accessories.
