Available soon from JConcepts are these Finnisher wing buttons for the RC10 buggy. Wing mounts, typically a plastic unit, can strip easily while trying to tighten the assembly. With the Finnisher aluminium wing buttons and threaded 4-40 holes, bearing down on the set-screw is easier and helps maintain a more standardised position during racing. The buttons, built in a familiar pattern for JConcepts, include a pass-through hole with chamfered edges on the hole exit for a smoother build with the wing wire. Available in blue and black colour options the buttons also fit other (vintage) buggies with wire-type wing mount.
Available now from AKA is the Impact Evo tyre range for 1/10 off-road buggies. Designed to fit AKA’s Evo wheels the tyre features a dense small square lug pattern with offset lug rows in the centre of the tyre to deliver maximum forward traction and good wear characteristics. The two outer rows of lugs are parallel to create a circumferential groove at the edge of the tire to give the tyre very predicable side bite. This allows the car to rotate in the centre of the turn while still feeling very stable and predictable entering and exiting the turn. Available in soft and super soft compounds as tyre with red insert or as pre-mounts on white or yellow Evo wheels.
Yaiba Racing introduce the Ver.2 rear bulkhead assembly for the Kyosho RB6. Designed to fit the mid motor variant of Kyosho’s World Championship winning buggy, the new bulkhead is of a 2-piece design with a red anodised camber link plate and a black anti-roll bar and shock tower mount. The design allows the direct use of Kyosho’s anti-rollbar set while the separate camber link plate makes for easier setup and maintenance. Weighing in at around 19g the bulkhead mimics the kit’s suspension geometry for a drop fit without the need to adjust existing setups.
After teasing the release during the week Team Associated now released full details of the forthcoming B5 and B5M buggy. Starting with the rear motor B5, the kit builds on a slim composite chassis optimised for the use with 2S LiPo saddle or shorty packs. The speed controller and receiver compartment sit right behind the battery, in front of the gear box for optimised weight distribution. The gearbox features stronger gears and a ball differential with 14 carbide balls while the slipper clutch is of the VTS design for improved adjustability.
