MCD RR5 cab forward bodyshell

MCD Racing have a new optional bodyshell for the RR5 large scale buggy available. Sporting a distinctive cab forward design and an aggressive overall appearance the body is meant to produce more front and centre downforce, resulting in a more aggressive steering response. A cutout in the rear section improves engine cooling for better overall performance in hot weather and the body comes with a spark plug protector that keeps away harm from the engine in the event of a roll-over.

RDRP B5 aluminium wing mount set

Revolution Design Racing Products introduce the B5 aluminium wing mount for Team Associated’s rear motor 2WD buggy. Designed to replace the standard plastic mount with a more durable solution the parts are machined from 7075-T6 aluminium and they are coming blue anodised for improved looks. The wing mount is not only a lot more durable than the kit parts but also makes for a more solid base especially for larger or heavier wings, which leads to improved aerodynamic efficiency. As usual with RDRP’s latest line of Team Associated options the parts sport a cool blue colour and laser-etched logos for that factory look.

MIP B5M aluminium 3-gear transmission

During this weekend‘s Reedy Offroad Race of Champions MIP have a new 3-gear transmission for Team Associated’s B5M buggy to show. The sturdy 7075 aluminium case offers improved precision, optimised gear mesh and thus higher efficiency compared to the standard moulded cases. At the same time the transmission package is relatively of the same overall weight as the OEM 4-gear transmission, keeping the weight distribution the same as what the car was designed for which can often be more beneficial than scrubbing tons of weight. Also as the motor sits at a 3mm offset to the left an optimised left to right weight balance is achieved – the needed spacer and new spring will be supplied with the transmission kit. On top of that the all-alloy gearbox will act as a giant heatsink, making for improved motor cooling and a reduced power fade during a run. The 3-gear design also makes for a more efficient operation making the gearbox ideal for stock and modified racers alike.

New from Revolution Design Racing Products comes the B5 lightweight heatsink motorplate for the Team Associated B5 buggy. The part is a direct replacement for the standard motor plate on the B5, B5M and T5M and it sports an updated design with machined cooling fins that reduce the weight and improve cooling without sacrificing rigidity. The closed design keeps dirt out of the pinion and main gear area allowing to run the part in every racing condition. The motorplate is cut from aircraft quality 7075-T6 aluminium and it comes blue anodised and laser etched to match with the remainder of RDRP’s Team Associated option parts.
