RDRP B6-series titanium front axle set

RDRP B6-series titanium front axle set

Revolution Design Racing Products have introduced a titanium front axle set for the Team Associated B6-series of buggies. The parts are a direct replacement for the standard aluminium axles and thanks to the Grade 5 titanium material the axles are both lightweight and tough, making them the ideal choice for hardcore racing. Included comes an aluminium shim set to adjust the track width in a ±1mm range, allowing to adapt the steering feeling and side bite to your likings. The design of the axle furthermore makes using an “outlaw” setting possible for all non-sanctioned racing classes such as open club racing. Running the buggy in the widest configuration further enhances the overall steering and grip created.

Shepherd Velox V10 -1mm short aluminium wheel axles

Shepherd Velox V10 -1mm short aluminium wheel axles

Coming from Shepherd and made for the Velox V10 are 1mm shorter wheel axles for the standard CVD driveshafts. Complementing the respective dogbone-specific parts introduced earlier this year the high-quality and hard-coated 7075-T6 aluminium axles have a 1mm shorter wheel hex which allows the use of different offset rims. Furthermore the shorter wheel axles give a different setting of the front and rear end geometry resulting in a longer arm while still being within the allowed 200mm maximum width. The -1mm CVD wheel axles are available in sets of two from now on.

The cups are a 0mm off-set which is a popular setting on the rear of the Team Associated B6 and B6D.

The cups feature a unique shock shaft path which helps lock the spring cup in position during hard crashes or collisions. Finishing the parts off is an etched off-set identification and JConcepts.net logo.
