Leadfinger Racing V2 Beretta 1:8 Body

US offroad bodyshell manufacturer Leadfinger Racing has revealed the upcoming V2 version of its Beretta 1:8 Buggy body. The V2 Beretta is a design concept that combines their previous Assassin, A2.1 Tactic and Berretta body features. The modern combination complements both hard and soft lines that provide perfect overall balance under multi surface track testing. At the front of the body, the added “fin rails” located on the front the side pods are new for LFR and provide an “edge” that significantly increases corner traction, entry and speed. The fin rails flow seamlessly into the V2’s rear side pods that have been carried over from the Beretta body. The rear chiseled design helps to maintain downforce evenly during corner exit, high speed jumping and plants the buggy more consistently upon landing. The added winglets on the top of the pods are an original design concept first seen on Ty Tessmann’s Worlds winning HB D15 in 2014. The rake of the windshield and cab shape stem from the 2012 Assassin body line while the integrated shark fin comes from Serpent’s earlier 2000’s 1:10 offroad bodies. Quickly becoming a trend in 1:8, the added stability performance continues to be a popular feature to offer. Successful testing has been completed on the Tekno NB 2.2, HB D819 and Kyosho MP10 race buggies, with LFR set to do testing on the Sparko F8, Mugen MBX8 and Sworkz platforms. The expected official release of the new V2 Beretta is the upcoming IFMAR Worlds in Spain.

Schelle B7 +/- 2.5° Alu Bulkhead | 13mm Fat Boys Pistons

Schelle Racing Innovations has added two new products to its offering of Team Associated aftermarket parts with the release of a +/- 2.5 Degree Aluminium Front Bulkhead for the B7 and a range of 13mm Fat Boys Pistons. Owned by well known vehicle engineering Kurt Wenger, Schelle’s latest parts launch comes after a successful debut at the 1-Up Challenge held at Hobby Action in Chandler, Arizona. The Schelle +/- 2.5 Degree 7075 Aluminium Front Bulkhead is made in the strongest billet aluminium alloy and its design utilises an added rib on the +2.5 side to increase cross-section and strength. For all Team Associated 13mm shocks, Schelle is giving the “Fat Boy” piston treatment to 13mm shocks in 2-hole and 3-hole variants. The 2.7mm thick Fat Boy piston profile reduces blow-by and provides a longer channel for the valving, thus increasing pack at high speeds. The Fat Boys are ideal for cases where you need to run a larger hole piston to gain grip, but you won’t have to sacrifice stability or jump landing.

As an example, optimise your final drive ratio, measure your air time in offroad or compare data from different drivers to understand where the time difference is coming.
