Schelle B5M & TLR 22 3.0 vented motor plates

Coming from Schelle Racing Innovations are lightweight vented motor plates for the Team Associated B5M and the TLR 22 3.0. Cut from high-quality aluminium and coming in an anodised finish the motor plates offer minimised weight, increased airflow, and maximised rigidity. The unique vent slits are machined partial depth on the back side of the motor plate to create two tiny slits in the plate. These slits will keep air flowing through, and everything else outside and the plates are fully machined to keep them from warping under extreme stress and heat and they weight in at only 12.95g for the B5M and 13.8g for the TLR plate. They are available as B5M 3 or 4-gear variant in black or blue colour and as black or hard anodised finish version for the 3-gear TLR 22 3.0.

JConcepts TLR 22 3.0 titanium front axle

JConcepts have introduced a titanium front axle set for the TLR 22 3.0 2WD off-road buggy. Designed especially for the 3.0 the user-friendly and lightweight axles are of a single piece design, allowing the use of a traditional 4mm lock-nut instead of the stock screw type design originally used on the 22 platform. Titanium material lowers the weight, increases strength over aluminium and increases the bling factor by 10-fold. This design can easily be installed on the 22 3.0 buggy by using the existing hardware from the TLR kit.

Bezerk RC XB2 Dirt Edition option parts

For those that are running Xray’s XB2 Dirt Edition 2WD off-road buggy in less-than-ideal conditions, Bezerk RC have introduced two new option parts to fine-tune the buggy for lower grip and bumper track conditions. First up is a 2.5mm carbon fibre chassis that provides a healthy weight saving for Stock racers coming in at 87g while providing some extra flex if track conditions call for it. Also new is a lower tower to add much needed droop to the rear. This increases rear cornering grip and aids in bump handling ability. The tower has been lowered 5mm and geometry corrected so the shock angles remain the same. Made from 4.0mm carbon fibre the tower also looks good while adding strength at the same time. Other heights are also available for those that are in need of in-between sizing.
