Team Associated show prototype 3-gear B5M gearbox

Team Associated are currently working on their new Stealth low-profile 3-gear gearbox for the B5M mid motor buggy. A design that’s around for some time, the low-profile gearboxes are a common sight in the 2WD class when running on high to very high bite astro and carpet surfaces and so far only aftermarket conversion kits are available for Team Associated’s B5M buggy. The issued images show a prototype made up using rapid prototype parts with the actual gearbox expected to be of a standard black colour. We bring you more information on the transmission as soon as they surface.

T-Works BD7-2016 Tweak Terminator blocks

T-Works BD7-2016 Tweak Terminator blocks

Coming from T-Works are the Tweak Terminator positioning blocks especially made for the Yokomo BD7-2016 touring car. The 2016 edition of Yokomo’s successful tourer sports very low profile shock towers which let the spur gear protrude above the shock towers, making the use of anti-tweak rods impossible in most cases. To overcome this problem T-Works have introduced the Tweak Terminator blocks that sit snuggly on top of the shock towers and between the left and right bulkhead halves to ensure a taller platform for the tweak rods, clearing the spur gear. The blocks are machined from aluminium, they come black anodised and laser-etched for easy identification.
