(Instock at Warehouse NOT AVAILABLE INSTORE)
The B74.1 model is the preferred choice for racing on high-grip carpet or turf track surfaces, featuring an advanced Octalock 2-Pad high-load, high-capacity center slipper clutch and a carpet kit setup optimized for performance.
The landscape of off-road RC car racing has evolved notably in recent years, witnessing a surge in popularity for turf and carpet racing characterized by heightened levels of traction. In response to this trend, the engineering team at Team Associated's Area 51 swiftly introduced the RC10B74 Team Kit—a fresh chassis configuration endowed with a comprehensive array of features meticulously crafted to bestow a competitive edge.
This engineering progression is further exemplified by the B74.1 platform, which introduces two distinct chassis configurations catering to specific track types. The B74.1 stands out as the prime choice for tracks with high grip on carpet or turf, thanks to its next-generation Octalock 2-Pad high-load, high-capacity center slipper clutch and an optimized carpet kit setup. Conversely, the B74.1D variant is tailored for clay and dirt track surfaces, featuring a center differential infused with 200,000 CST silicone fluid and an optimized dirt kit setup.
Both configurations incorporate redesigned low-profile shock towers characterized by shorter shock shafts and bodies, contributing to a lowered center of gravity for enhanced predictability in handling. Additionally, the kits encompass new low roll center (LRC) C and D arm mounts, 66mm CVA bones and axles, and 2.0mm G10 fiberglass chassis brace supports. These enhancements collectively render the B74.1 and B74.1D models more manageable and conducive to high-performance driving across diverse track surfaces.
Moreover, the setups and tuning components are interchangeable between the B74.1 and B74.1D, underscoring their adaptability and robust lineage expected of champions. Opt for the configuration aligning with your track specifications, empowering you to surmount the competition.
Noteworthy features of the B74.1 platform encompass a center differential with 72T and 78T spur gears, coupled with 200,000 cSt silicone fluid. The package also includes 1.2mm and 1.3mm anti-roll bars for both front and rear applications on dirt, 5.0mm rear hex adapters for wider tire stance with dirt tires, and an updated kit setup with a V2 spring package featuring Yellow front and Blue rear springs.
Further enhancements include the incorporation of shorter 23mm front and 27.5mm V2 Big Bore threaded aluminum shocks with 12mm machined pistons and X-rings, all aimed at achieving a lower center of gravity, reduced weight, and improved overall performance. The design modifications extend to a new 4mm graphite front shock tower lowered by 2mm, accompanied by an additional row of tuning holes, and a new 4mm graphite rear shock tower lowered by 5.5mm to optimize stability and predictability.
Additionally, the B74.1 configuration incorporates a +3mm aluminum steering rack to optimize bump steer at low ride heights, 66mm rear CVA driveshafts and axles to enhance on-power traction, and a molded ESC tray for swift electronics removal for maintenance. The kit also features a molded 30mm fan mount and hardware (fan not included) and a 2.5mm graphite battery strap with indexed battery locations for easy height setup and battery removal, compatible with both standard and low-profile shorty batteries.
Updated and legacy features complement the B74.1 model, including refined steering components, durable differential outdrives, rear wing modifications for reduced drag in high traction, and an array of aluminum and plastic components meticulously designed to elevate durability, performance, and ease of use.
