JConcepts S2 Cat L1 Evo buggy body shell

JConcepts’ S2 body line up has been expanded to include the Schumacher Cat L1 Evo 4wd buggy. Slammed overall height allows the S2 to whisk through the turns with a low centre of mass while the progressive cab design provides plenty of front-end force for superior balance and steering. A channeled roof directs the flow through the centre of the body while also increasing the rigidity of cockpit. The dual side-window design that has become famous on the JConcepts bodies remains to bring a traditional feel to the layout. The upper side-pods feature distinct vents used to help relieve hot air build-up inside the body for those high-powered runs or hot days at the track. Carved and detailed side-pods edge the body giving the highly aero unit a stylish look with a tight fit and finish. Included with the clear body shell come two S-Type wings as well as window masks and a decal sheet.

Yokomo YD-2 RWD drift chassis

The YD-2 from Yokomo has undergone a major evolution, with the brand new machine bearing the name of “Z”, which can be said to be the final form. It is equipped with a new 3-split transmission case on the shape-up main chassis and will start as a new standard machine. A new integrated bulkhead is used around the front to improve the left-right balance of the steering and improve operability and the new upper deck is compatible with slide racks as standard in the kit, and steering characteristics suitable for various situations can be obtained with minimal changes. The gear case of the 3-gear transmission has also been newly designed, and the maintainability has been greatly improved by dividing it into three parts. Since you can access the differential simply by removing the cap on the rear side, you can easily handle even ball differentials that are frequently maintained. In addition, the motor position can be selected from 13 stages by rotating the motor mount, making it easy to obtain the balance of the centre of gravity according to the road surface, from low mount to high mount. With 3 gears, the throttle response is outstanding, and combined with the rear traction produced by the supple main chassis, it is a very capable machine.

Exotek B6.3 black & blue anodised options

Exotek have released a number of new options for the Team Associated B6.3-B6.1, T6.1 and SC6.1 series. First up is this stealthy 2 colour anodised alloy steering rack sporting a customised polished black base with blue chamfered accents which goes great with the stock plastic parts or after market blue parts. And the alloy construction insures precise steering input and heavy duty long lasting performance. Also new, in the same style is this motor heatsink, that helps reduce your motor temps while the built in gear cover is stronger than the stock plastic cover to insure that the body does not press the cover onto the spur gear in hard tumbles. Also, the alloy material is kept in place around the motor and bolt screws to resist excess motor plate flex or bending but machined out elsewhere to reduce its weight to 11 grams each. Lastly, the backside spacers are machined into the plate to provide more secure mounting to the gearbox. Next up is a pair of steering cranks in the same style anodised black and blue, which are stronger than the stock plastic part and offer more precision. Finally are this pair of titanium front axles, which at only 4.5 grams per pair, are lightweight but also stronger than the stock alloy pieces. Rounded and angled hex profile makes wheel installation extra quick and easy.

Infinity 1/10 IF14-II FWD

Having teased the release of their new FWD chassis, Creation Model have introduced the all new Infinity 1/10 IF14-II FWD. Sporting a compact steering system that has been specially designed to achieve the ideal front-rear weight balance. The heaviest items of the car such as the steering servo, motor and battery are laid out towards the front section as much as possible. In addition, a dedicated balancing weight is installed inside the front bumper. By having a layout with the battery on the right hand side of the chassis and the steering servo and other electronics on the left side, an ideal left-right weight balance is achieved. The car has excellent throttle response thanks to the front drive belt being as short as possible while adopting a mechanical layout that takes weight balance into consideration. The front and rear suspension parts are taken from the race proven IF14-2 and offer a wide range of tuning and setups possibilities with the gear differential, front drive shaft and centre pulley are the same as IF14-2.
