Japanese company Team Azarashi have first images of their yet unnamed prototype bodyshell for the Team Associated B5M buggy available. Sporting the distinctive Azarashi lines the body does away with today’s ubiquitous cab forward design in favour of a more conventional looking mid cab appearance. We do not have a release date yet but we bring you more information as soon as they become available.

For the B5 there is a new 2-piece aluminium rear hub. The new design helps prevent the ball being pulled from the upright in an impact, while at the same time being replaceable if it gets damaged. Only 1 gram heavier than the stock part it features molded bearing inserts and allows for fine adjustment of the link position, relative to the upright, through the use of shims.
