Capricorn C04 rear linkage system

Coming from Capricorn and made for their brand new C04 platform is an optional rear linkage system. The kit allows to use a turnbuckle and ball cup system instead of the original rear upper arm which will greatly increase the flex of the rear arms, something that can be beneficial in certain temperatures and track conditions. The inner part of the linkage will have the same adjustability as the original design as adjustments of the roll centre will be carried out by aluminium eccentric inserts.

RDRP B74 front & rear aluminium differential case

Revolution Design Racing Products have introduced a new aluminium front/rear differential case for the Team Associated B74 buggy. The case is machined from aircraft-grade 7075-T6 aluminium and it sports a heatsink design to further help with heat dissipation. Using the part over the standard composite cage not only improves the precision of the drivetrain, the greatly improved heat transfer also keeps the diff oil much cooler – compared to using the standard plastic case – which results in a much more consistent drivetrain behaviour over the full run; even in high ambient temperatures. The diff case comes hard anodised for wear and looks and it includes a set of suitable inner cross pins for the internal gears. The part fits the B74 buggy equipped with the standard gear differentials.

Rêve D dry carbon drift car front bumper

Coming soon from Rêve D is their new dry carbon front bumper for drift car kits such as the Yokomo YD-2 and others. Machined from high-quality and very rigid automotive-grade dry carbon the front bumper is of a lightweight design, improving car rotation due to the reduced weight of the front end, while offering a sturdy base for the front bumper foam and body posts allowing to use the whole assembly without an additional upper bumper brace. Included in the set comes a reversible 2-sided aluminium bumper mount that features a Rêve D logo on one side and a machined structure on the other, allowing to adapt the look to your liking. The bumper will hit stores by the end of April and it will fit the Yokomo YD-2 and all chassis with similar front chassis outlines.
