MIP Wraith & SCX10 Spline CVD kits

MIP introduce new Spline CVD centre drive kits for the Axial Wraith and SCX10 off-road vehicles. The kits feature an updated design that was made necessary after Axial’s running changes to the chassis. The MIP kits will no longer feature the double set screw design to clamp onto the through hole but now incorporate a pin set screw for attachment. Along with that improvement MIP have also changed the drive hubs so that there is no longer any interference when it comes to making contact with the stock spur gear cover. The kits come as specific Wraith and SCX10 variants including hardware and a set of grease and thread lock.

New option parts for the RB One buggy

RB introduce new suspension and drivetrain option parts for the RB One line of buggies. First up are aluminium rear hubs made from 7075-T6 aluminium. The parts feature multiple mounting positions for the upper camber links, come grey anodised and greatly improve the durability of this highly stressed part of the buggy. Next up are parts for the drivetrain in the form of ventilated steel brake discs. Developed to make for a precise and fading-free brake system the discs are made for the use with another new part; the Ferodo-equipped brake pad set. The special pads are vulcanised on the steel brake pad for maximum temperature resistance and best possible brake action. To make maximum use of the new brake setup RB has also announced a set of extra-strong springs that are ideal for the use with the Ferodo brake pads. Last but not least come new off-set 17mm aluminium wheel hubs. Available as +1.5mm and +2.5mm variant the parts are sold as pairs, come hard anodised and make for increased track width in order to gain more stability on the front or the rear end of the buggy.

JConcepts C4.2 rear suspension kit

Made for the Centro C4.2 converted Team Associated B4.2 buggies is this rear suspension kit from JConcepts. The set targets 3 key areas where the C4.2 could do with improvements. In stock trim the C4.2 includes a moulded rear bulkhead which is highly flexible and a target to damage in severe crashes. The JConcepts suspension kit includes an all CNC machined aluminium version which has been trimmed, narrowing the stance allowing more room for narrow rear pivot camber link adjustments. The bulkhead is available in blue or black colour and has silver chamfered edges around the border and inner cut-outs. The tucked design, trimmed shape and pocketing give the racer an extremely durable yet light-weight piece.
