MIP B5M 3-gear aluminium transmission set

Seen for the first time at the recent Reedy Offroad Race of Champions MIP now officially introduce the 3-gear transmission set for the Team Associated B5M buggy. The often debated question among stock class racers is whether to use a rear or mid motor setup as with a mid motor better corner speeds can be achieves whereas a rear motor layout leads to less drag and more initial punch. The new MIP Box 7075 aluminium 3-gear transmission for the Team Associated B5M bridges that gap and gives the mid motor buggy all the benefits of the rear motor car but less drag and more initial punch. Not only does the transmission eliminate one idler gear to equate to less drag but its all aluminium construct offers a huge advantage pertaining to more precise internal gear mesh, less overall heat, and stiffer bracing. The gearbox is a direct fit on the B5M and the set includes two gearbox halves, a blue anodized motor plate, gear cover and small parts.

JConcepts Remix 1/8th buggy tyre

JConcepts introduce their latest 1/8th buggy tyre, the Remix. Tested during the busy racing season at races such as the ROAR Off-Road Nationals, the tyre is a crossover tread bringing two tyre lines together. With directional side-bars and straight forward block detail, the Remix will serve as a high-speed blue groove tyre on larger style and flowing track layouts and the sidebars react calmly to bumpy sections while still giving stability as borrowed from the Metrix tyre. The blocks are beefy and medium in width and height, the overlapping centre arrangement gives forward tracking stability and the sidebars handle the all important cornering support. Included with the tyre, that will be available in blue, green and red compound, come grey Dirt Tech inserts.
