Revolution Design Racing Products have introduced a new aluminium front/rear differential case for the Team Associated B74 buggy. The case is machined from aircraft-grade 7075-T6 aluminium and it sports a heatsink design to further help with heat dissipation. Using the part over the standard composite cage not only improves the precision of the drivetrain, the greatly improved heat transfer also keeps the diff oil much cooler – compared to using the standard plastic case – which results in a much more consistent drivetrain behaviour over the full run; even in high ambient temperatures. The diff case comes hard anodised for wear and looks and it includes a set of suitable inner cross pins for the internal gears. The part fits the B74 buggy equipped with the standard gear differentials.

Coming soon from Rêve D is their new dry carbon front bumper for drift car kits such as the Yokomo YD-2 and others. Machined from high-quality and very rigid automotive-grade dry carbon the front bumper is of a lightweight design, improving car rotation due to the reduced weight of the front end, while offering a sturdy base for the front bumper foam and body posts allowing to use the whole assembly without an additional upper bumper brace. Included in the set comes a reversible 2-sided aluminium bumper mount that features a Rêve D logo on one side and a machined structure on the other, allowing to adapt the look to your liking. The bumper will hit stores by the end of April and it will fit the Yokomo YD-2 and all chassis with similar front chassis outlines.

Schumacher have introduced their new pre-cut chassis skins for the Cougar KC/KD and Laydown kits as well as the Cat L1 and Evo buggies. The easy-to-attach chassis protectors will increase the life of the chassis in those rough conditions and with a grey, white and black pattern they are sure to complement any paint design. The new versions have die-cuts for the screw holes so racers can gain easy access to the screws for maintenance.
