Robitronic aluminium servo-arms

Robitronic now offers a new lineup of sturdy and ultra-reliable servo-arms. They add a clever clamping mechanism that grips the servo’s spline with enough force, so that you’ll never lose or strip a servo arm again. Even if the servo’s spline screw works itself loose, you can safely keep on racing since the clamp-style servo arms will still provide a firm grip. Laser-etching tells you the spline indexing, (23T, 24T, 25T) they’re built for.

Associated RC8 option parts

Associated have released a number of new parts for the RC8 line of vehicles. First up are these lightweight drive train parts which have been machined to reduce weight to help the performance of the car. The parts getting this treatment are the diff ring gear and the 44T spur gear. Also new are these precision-machined, tapered Delrin pistons for the 16mm Big Bore shocks. The team set out to improve over the 10 x 1.1 piston setup with damping characteristics that also excelled when the track got bumpy. Extensive testing showed that by drilling out 5 of the 10 holes larger, the damping provided the best of both worlds. The larger 1.2mm or 1.3mm allow for better low speed damping over bumps, while still keeping the great smooth track handling characteristics of the smaller 1.1 hole setups.
