TLR 22T 4.0 Race Kit 2WD stadium truck

TLR have introduced the 4.0 version of their successful 22T 1/10th 2WD stadium truck. It features some drastic improvements including a mid-motor laydown transmission, a reversible rear shock tower for forward and rear shock mounting as well as a new body shell that supports the new rear shock tower option. As for the new gearbox configuration, the laydown design shifts the motor forward by 20mm which results in a truck that stays much flatter and drives more consistent while the included HDS slipper makes for more consistent drivetrain performance. On the suspension side of things the 4.0 relies on aluminium plate rear hubs for easy roll centre adjustments, while the new rear shock tower allows to run the shock in front of the rear A-arms on higher grip surfaces while the rear position is better on lower grip tracks. Other features include a 7075-T6 aluminium chassis, transverse battery mounting, adjustable toe and anti-squat, as well as a fully updated ball differential. The kit is rounded out by a new motor fan mount and a new body shell.

Bezerk RC B64 top decks, shock towers & steering plates

Bezerk RC have introduced a range of carbon fibre option parts for the Team Associated B64 range of buggies. First is a carbon front topdeck in solid heavy duty or a light version. Both are made using quality 2.5mm carbon fibre and they come with a neat spacer to fit underneath the front section for better support when tightening. The decks are countersunk at the front to accept the standard screws. Next are middle camberlink length option towers in a single standard front height, and three rear options of tall, standard height and high roll centre. Lastly are the 0/6 degree steering plates. Bezerk have had 3/9 deg variants available for some time and the new option fits nicely in-between, giving racers every step needed in two steering plates. Every 1mm added to the rack subtracts 1 degree, so racers have everything from -2 deg to 9 degrees of Ackermann adjustment.

The integrated spur shield keeps the body from rubbing the spur gear which could destroy the spur gear and body paint.
