RDRP XB4 aluminium caster block sets

Revolution Design Racing Products have introduced their new caster block sets for the Xray XB4 series of 1/10th scale 4WD buggies. An improvement over the original construction the hubs allow to easily adjust the camber link ball stud position and thus camber link length and roll centre by simply adding or removing shims. The multi-piece design was used on rear uprights before and is now available for the front hubs. While offering the standard kit geometry the hubs also allow to run shorter links which can be beneficial in a range of track conditions. The lightweight design and aircraft-grade 7075-T6 aluminium adds only minimal unsprung weight while still being sturdy and durable. RDRP’s C-hubs are usable on all XB4-series buggies and they are available in a 9 degree or 12 degree variant to adjust the corner characteristics of the buggy.

1up Racing TC7.1 Dynamic Toe Control conversion kit

1up Racing have introduced the Dynamic Toe Control conversion for the Team Associated TC7 and TC7.1 touring cars. This conversion utilises genuine Team Associated parts along with custom 1up Racing C-hubs and inner mounts machined from 7075-T6 aluminium for maximum durability and weight savings. During testing, it became clear that the standard caster block design allowed for too much flex which caused the car to become very unpredictable at times, especially on bumpy surfaces. Due to the unique design of the 1up Racing C-hub, the rear arms now retain far more material and keep their rigidity allowing the DTC system to work well on a wide range of surfaces and track conditions. The DTC conversion does not require any extra drilling or modifications to the existing parts, while also including all the necessary hardware for an easy bolt-on installation.
