New in the Pits – MIP B5 Bi-Metal CVAs

Sat-MIPB5biMetal-1

MIP have some shown us some pre production versions of their all new stock class 17.5 Bi-Metal CVA shaft assemblies for use with both rear and mid motor Team Associated B5 buggies. The shaft is made from 7075 aluminium for light weight and features their well known replaceable puck system, while the CVA joint is made from hard to wear steel. Both parts are keyed and are screwed together and work with the standard Associated wheel axles. The final versions will be hard anodised and the complete set comes with the aluminium diff halves, dogbones, CVA joints, puck system and all fasteners and offer considerable weight savings to the drivetrain with the dogbone being 33% lighter than the kit version and the diff halves 44% lighter.

Having teamed up with Radbody to bring you coverage of the 1:12 World Championships from Florida last year, Red RC are excited to partner up with the US based body shell producer again and travel state side once more for the IFMAR World Championship for Electric Touring Car. From November 5-10th the 12th running of IFMAR’s ISTC World Championship will take place at Finishline RC Raceway in Bakersfield, California, and we will be there to see how the title battle unfolds. Having reported on Davide Ongaro’s history making three in a row at the 1:8 Offroad Worlds in Spain recently, we are excited to see if back to back ISTC World Champion Bruno Coelho can emulated that achievement. We are also pleased to welcome servo manufacturer PowerHD onboard as a partner of the coverage.
