KAOS Reeper wheelie bar, chassis & springs

KAOS Advance Tuning distributors Robitronic have introduced a range of option parts for the CEN Racing Reeper 1/7th scale monster truck. First up is an adjustable wheelie bar set. Its design allows to set the tilt angle at 40 degrees or 45 degrees and it comes including ball-raced wheels and mounting hardware, making it a direct fit. Next up is a carbon fibre chassis plate made from 3.5mm sheet material. The hard compound graphite makes for extremely high rigidity while still being light of weight, upping the overall performance and looks of the truck. Last but not least are longer and stronger spring sets with progressive winding. Available in red or green colour to complement the Reeper body shells, the springs are ideal for the hardcore basher.

JConcepts B6 front camber link mount bulkhead

JConcepts have introduced their new 2-piece front camber link mount bulkhead for the Team Associated B6 series of buggies. The 2-piece design incorporates durable material, looks and tuning into a single package. The front camber link mount sports all three popular mounting locations and features a blended design which connects to the front bulkhead forming a unique, stout package. The bulkhead itself has all the tricks. Starting from a small square of a aluminium, the part has been mastered into a pocketed, threaded and high-performance unit complete with 3mm threaded holes, anodising and laser etching. Joining the two pieces together blends the parts and creates the valley for the sway-bar location. The sway-bar area is compatible with standard AE hardware and optional sway bar kit. The aluminium camber link mount and bulkhead combined with the plastic AE suspension mount weigh in at about 28.5g without hardware making it a tuning adjustment and it can be mixed and matched with AE and JC parts to create a load of different weight bias settings.
