RDRP B6-series titanium front axle set

Revolution Design Racing Products have introduced a titanium front axle set for the Team Associated B6-series of buggies. The parts are a direct replacement for the standard aluminium axles and thanks to the Grade 5 titanium material the axles are both lightweight and tough, making them the ideal choice for hardcore racing. Included comes an aluminium shim set to adjust the track width in a ±1mm range, allowing to adapt the steering feeling and side bite to your likings. The design of the axle furthermore makes using an “outlaw” setting possible for all non-sanctioned racing classes such as open club racing. Running the buggy in the widest configuration further enhances the overall steering and grip created.

JConcepts Swaggers 4WD front tyre

JConcepts have added the Swaggers 4WD front tyre to their range of dedicated carpet and astro turf tyres. The tyre has a multitude of heights and angular ribs for corner speed, consistency and straight-line tracking ability. They are designed for the width of a 4WD front wheels but will also fit a standard 2WD front wheel for increased grip when needed. The ultra low-profile carcass keeps a 4WD buggy very predictable and consistent in high-grip conditions while pointing the vehicle in the correct direction. Side-wall ribs in a circular pattern add to the exterior of the tyre to support high-grip racing. The pink compound marked with two pink dots on the tyre represents a new compound for JConcepts, a medium soft material with good wear characteristics.
