JConcepts B6-series Elephant Trunk style waterfall

Another 3-D-printed part has been added to JConcepts’s Shapeways store in the form of the Elephant Trunk style waterfall for the Team Associated B6 and B6D. Designed for B6-series owners using a laydown transmission, the Elephant Trunk style waterfall replaces the stock unit and is more flexible than the stock piece. The part uses a single column support which promotes flex characteristics giving traction gains associated with these types of adjustments. The mount splits at the bottom to attach using the stock B6 hardware and uses the same pivot ball at the top making it a snap to install. The Elephant Trunk waterfall has already shown success in the hands of Alex Kosciuszek during the JConcepts Indoor National finals event by running the single fastest qualifying run over 5 minutes and it is available through JConcept’s Shapeways store here.

RDRP B6-series brass electronics mounting plate

Coming from RDRP and made for the Team Associated B6 series of 2WD buggies is the brass electronics mounting plate. The 2mm plate is 0.5mm thicker and at 53g about 17g heavier than Team Associated’s own steel plate set while being designed to be a drop fit for the chassis’ machined pocket behind the steering servo. Using it allows to easily remove the speed controller and receiver from the car for cleaning and maintenance purposes while also adding weight to the buggy when running lightweight LCG battery packs. On top of this the black and golden design improves visual impact and the chamfered golden edges make for a smoother chassis-to-plate transition for further improved looks and functionality. The mounting plate fits both the B6 and B6D and it comes including suitable mounting hardware.

Yeah Racing X Dinky SCX10 II cantilever suspension kit

Yeah Racing have teamed up with Dinky RC to present a cantilever suspension kit for the Axial SCX10 II and SCX10. The inline suspension design allows for the use of flat beds, full drop beds, and increased interior room when compared to the original shock and body mount setup. More articulation is made possible by the high ratio suspension system thanks to the cantilever system which will allow for maximum tyre contact whilst navigating through off-road terrain. The kit comes pre-assembled and ready to drop it into the chassis.

JConcepts B6-series 1-piece wing mount & wedge

JConcepts has added a new item to the Shapeways store for B6 and B6D owners.

Braced in the middle, the seat area carries some inspiration from full-scale racing while the center divider brings the piece together for solid construction, fit and finish.
