RDRP B64 rear chassis weight

Revolution Design Racing Products have introduced a new rear chassis balance weight for the Team Associated B64 1/10th 4WD buggy. It is the ideal tuning option for a range of track conditions as first and foremost it ensures a near perfect chassis balance when standard-size electronics and regular-weight batteries are used while also adding weight for improved rotation into corners and added traction in slippery track conditions. The weight comes machined from high-quality brass, it sports a nice black and golden finish for looks and it weighs in at 28g. Unlike RDRP’s other option parts it isn’t a direct fit as the left chassis side pod needs some DIY, although the work is carried out in under five minutes using a Dremel.

PR Racing SB401 rear aluminium uprights

Coming from PR Racing and made for the SB401 1/10th 4WD buggy are new vertical ballstud aluminium rear uprights. The parts offer a greatly revised geometry over the standard composite hubs with an additional camber link mounting position that uses a longer camber link for a less twitchy car and smoother rotation trough the corner. Also new is an additional – higher – hinge pin location that provides increased rear traction and better bump handling. The parts weigh in at 16g a pair which is only 1g heavier than the standard composite uprights.

Nosram N22 540-size modified brushless motors

Austrian Nosram distributors MW RC Cars have introduced the all new N22 540-size modified brushless motor. It makes use of a lightweight 7075-T6 aluminium can with maximised cooling cut-outs for improved airflow and thus low operation temperatures.
