Takashima D-13 404SBS-E Wireless 2.4G Receiver

Hong Kong’s Takashima D-13 has launched its latest 2.4G Receiver this time to work with the Futaba 10PX.  After six months of testing, they have produced a 2.4G wireless four-channel receiver that supports the F-4G communication protocol and which can be perfectly paired with the 10PX and supports software upgrades.  They have reduced the size of the receiver to 27.5 x 18.5 x 20.5mm which weighs in a just 6.5 grams.  Supporting a working voltage of 3.7-8.4V, unlike their previous Takashima D-13 receivers, they have also redesigned the case making the product better compatible with Futaba’s original servo plugs without the need for modification or trimming.

Willspeed B7 73mm Arm Wide Pivot C and D Block Set

Willspeed is now offering this 73mm Arm Wide Pivot C and D Block Set for the Team Associated RC10B7 2WD Buggy.  That’s right, a wide pivot set to be used with the 73mm Wishbone from the B6 series. 
This increases the pivot width +5mm each side (10mm total) and MUST be used in conjunction with the AE #91853 or #91873 73mm Rear Suspension arms.

When used in conjunction with AE #91853 or #91873 73mm Rear Suspension arms this retains the original kit B7 position of the outside (Hub) Hinge Pin.
 This leaves the track width unchanged but gives the short arm, wide pivot setup.   The wide pivot gives the car more on power steering and more stability when cornering and will allow the car to centre (square-up) faster coming through the last third of the turn as the driver is getting on power.

This product includes both C and D Blocks and must be used as a pair.

Both items follow design trends from our proven standard geometry parts.  D block remains in Willspeed’s full brace fashion which has been highly popular for ultimate reliability.
