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.
SMC have introduced their new Totemic brushless stock motors. Development focus has been on producing a solid platform that does not fade and still produces maximum output thanks to an optimised coil resistance. The Totemic family of motors include 13.5, 17.5 and 21.5 turn motors, each comes fitted with a 12.5mm rotor with the strongest magnets available. 12.3mm rotors are available for those looking for a bit more RPM. All motors come with pure copper solder tabs and collector ring, each gold plated for the best resistance and minimum oxidization. The motors are ROAR approved and available now.
JConcepts has added a new item to the Shapeways store for B6 and B6D owners. The one-piece rear wing mount and wing wedge offers functionality and durability as the mount resists unwanted twisting or tweaking while being able to adjust wing position very quickly in four different positions. 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. The one piece wing mount can be found here while the wing wedge is available here.
Coming from RDRP and made for the Team Associated B6 buggy is the a brass front bulkhead. The part is a direct replacement for the kit’s plastic bulkhead and it offers an increased weight of 33g which makes for a front-shifted weight bias and thus a more planted front end while also adding durability and precision. With its new black and golden design the part also stands out in terms of visual appearance.
The latest Hudy car bag to hit the light of the day is dedicated for 1/10th buggies. Like the recently introduced 1/10th on-road and 1/12th on-road bag, the buggy specific variant is made of reinforced fibre material, it sports bright Hudy graphics, a handle for easy transportation and it is easily attached to the Hudy travel bags. A cut out in the upper lid makes way for the rear wing, doing away with the need to remove the wing or wing mounts.

Coming from Avid and made for the Team Associated B6-series buggies is an aluminium shock standoff set. The standoffs are a direct replacement for the kit parts, including two short front and two long rear shock mounts, as well as four Delrin pivot bushings. The standoffs are made of black anodised 7075 aluminium with a 7mm nut as the base to easily install and a long fully threaded stem to help prevent bent shock mount screws while throwing down laps. The Delrin pivot bushings are designed to rest against the smooth standoff instead of the screw which extends the life of them however they can be replaced to help maintain a tight fit in the shock cap when needed.
