Revolution Design B84 Lightweight Center Driveline Set

Revolution Design Racing Products has designed this Lightweight Center Driveline Set for the Team Associated B84 to reduce rotating mass and overall drivetrain weight for faster acceleration and a more responsive feel.  With 55mm & 102mm shafts, the Forward Motor Position version also unlocks a new layout by letting you run the motor in the forward position together with the centre differential, a combination that was not possible before.  Ideal for both Stock and Modified classes, with durable 7075 aluminium components finished in hard anodising for long wear.  With 61mm & 94mm shafts, the Rear Motor Position option is intended for running the motor in the rear position while using the centre differential.  Like the FMP set, it is race ready for both Stock and Modified classes.  The completes sets weigh 15.25 grams.

Schelle RC8B4.1 2-Row Mid Set Carbon Hub Towers

New from Kurt Wenger’s Schelle Racing Innovations brand comes these 2-Row Mid Set Carbon Hub Towers for the Team Associated RC8B4.1 1:8 Buggy platform.  Made from 3mm carbon fibre, the width of hole locations is a split with 2 holes on either side of centre   location.  Run the shorter location with softer springs, and then the mid height as standard, then add the tall setting to limit side to side roll in rear, and get more steering feel to the front.  For many cases the longest link on these is the best grip/stability but with softer springs you may want to go even shorter.

FlySky officially announces Champlin signing

While he announced last month on his own social media that he had switched to their popular Noble Pro Plus transmitter, Chinese radio manufacturer FlySky has just official announced that IFMAR 1:10 2WD World Champion Broc Champlin is the latest high profile driver to join its team.  The factory Schumacher driver joins fellow US racers Dakotah Phend and Ryan Maifield in representing the brand Stateside and on his switch to FlySky he said, ‘I’m proud to announce my radio sponsor for the year of 2026 and beyond, Flysky RC.  I first tried this radio in April of 2025 and was instantly sold.  Due to the 2025 World Championships, I chose to stay with what I was most familiar with but after the Florida Carpet Championships, I began the switch.  Whether they would end up as my sponsor or not, I chose this radio because it has all of the features I like best.  I’m ecstatic to be apart of the fastest growing radio brand in competitive RC racing.  I can’t wait to see all of my personal improvements and help the team provide a more quality and refined product for our community of racers.  See you all at the races!’

Avid Guardian & Sweeper Carpet Tyres

American upgrade parts producer Avid Racing Concepts has released two new 1:10 Buggy Carpet Tyres, the Guardian front and the Sweeper rear.  The Guardian was designed to give predictable steering that stays consistent.  After a single break-in run, Avid claim the tyre settles into its true performance window and holds it. Instead of chasing balance from run to run, you get a front end that stays planted, confident, and repeatable.  For the rear, the Sweeper is designed around an aggressive arched chevron pin layout, it delivers strong forward drive and exceptional side bite without feeling edgy or unpredictable.  Whether you’re carrying speed through long sweepers or getting on power out of the corner, they say the Sweeper keeps the rear planted so you can push with confidence lap after lap.  Both tyres are offered in two compounds.  A3 Medium Green is best suited for high-bite surfaces such as office carpet, tracks that allow traction compound, or extended practice sessions where longevity is important.  The A4 Soft Red is designed for lower-bite surfaces (CRC, Beach, and EOS) style carpets and where traction compound is not allowed. It delivers maximum forward and steering grip when you are willing to trade a bit of wear for performance.
