Yokomo have introduced an aluminium main chassis and rear lower plate for the YRX12 1/12th scale pan car. Machined from high-quality 2mm material for improved torsional stiffness, the chassis sports strategic milling for optimised roll and pitch stiffness in order to do away with steering twitchiness on high-bite surface while still retaining an agile yet controllable and stable car. The chassis and rear pod plate were designed to work as a package and they sport a black anodised surface, chamfered silver edge details and white Yokomo and YRX12 logos. Both parts will become available by end of March.
Team Associated have introduced new Factory Team option parts for the B64 series of 4WD buggies. First up is an aluminium steering rack that was designed to increase durability and improve steering response when running on high-bite surfaces. The CNC-machined part is made from high-strength aluminium material, it comes anodised in blue and does not require additional items.
Coming from Shepherd and made for the Velox F1 formula car is an adjustable aluminium steering bellcrank. The 2-piece part allows to fine-tune the steering Ackermann geometry by shifting the separate inner ballstud lever forth and back while also increasing overall rigidity and thus steering precision on high-bite surfaces. The bellcrank is available in blue or black anodising.
Factory RC have introduced new carbon fibre option parts for the Yokomo YZ-4 1/10th 4WD off-road buggy. First up are front and rear shock towers made from 4mm black carbon fibre. Both the front and rear tower are of a beefier design while the rear part also allows for adjustable wing height. Thanks to Factory RC’s Leading Edge treatment the parts sport chamfered edges that make sanding unnecessary. Also new is the shorty battery brace that was specifically designed for a precise fit while allowing plenty of adjustment when running the battery cross wise in the chassis. Moulded Delrin stop blocks hold the battery firmly in place and full forward and reward battery placement can be achieved as well as in between positions and other configuration. Due to the thinner 3mm carbon fibre material full chassis flex will be retained.
Coming from Factory RC and made for the Team Associated B64 series of 4WD buggies are blue weave carbon fibre option parts. The range includes a floating servo mount plate made from 2.5mm material and incorporating an antenna mount, next up is a 4mm battery strap that utilises the stock hardware and also new is an 18mm bellcrank input arm that offers reduced weight. Next up are 4mm front and rear shock towers with increased void volume in the centre for additional airflow towards the windscreen and improved airflow in the rear of the body. Also new are 2.5mm steering arms that are lighter than the aluminium parts and the range is rounded out by a 3-piece rear diff shim set including 0.5mm, 1.0mm and 2.0mm shims that allow to raise the rear or front diff case for improved dog bone plunge and increased grip. The blue weave carbon parts sport Factory RC’s Leading Edge chamfered edges which makes sealing the parts with CA glue a snap.
