Trinity ultra lightweight aluminium pinion gears

Trinity have introduced their new ultra lightweight aluminium pinion gears. Offering a minimalistic design and a thin appearance, the gears are over 25 percent lighter than previous gears, and are comparable with thin plastic gears in terms of weight. The latter however are very delicate and can often strip, with the alloy gears offering exceptional strength for their low weight and thin design. The hard-coated gears are available in 64 pitch and 48 pitch variants and in a wide range of tooth sizes.

Also new are new design carbon wing protectors for the Xray XB2 and XB4 as well as the Team Associated B6.1 and B74 buggies.

Leadfinger Racing B74 A2 Tactic body shell

Leadfinger Racing now offers a new look for the Team Associated B74 1/10 scale 4WD buggy with the A2 Tactic body shell. The lid not only adds a sleek new look to the ride, but is designed specifically by LFR while keeping the traditional racer in mind. First off, the windshield has been laid down for less rake and the cab pushed back to give the buggy more low profile styling. The combo gives the B74 a super slick and fast look that maintains a lower centre of gravity through out the entire car. Like the A2 Tactic designs before it, the top of the cab has an added roof vent. To help keep everything planted, the rear of the cab has the traditional LFR swoop that disburses air flow to the wing. Added downforce ailerons on the top rear of the side pods also help give the car a balanced feel during high speed straights, cornering and over all jump handling. The body comes in clear with window masks and stickers provided as well as two clear Tactic wings included.
