Titan RC have released this latest option part for the ARC R10, a pair of double-joint CVDs. The shafts are made from hardened spring steel, which is super durable and provides a smoother transmission on the R10. The new design features 4 holes in the middle joint, which not only reduces weight but also make it easy to apply lubricant into the joint, while a reenforced spring ensures you never lose the connecting pin under any condition.

Team Associated’s Factory Team aluminium 12mm clamping wheel hexes clamp securely onto the axle, preventing the hex from getting stuck in your wheels, which allows for speedy wheel changes. The hex adapters are CNC machined out of 6061-T6 aluminum and anodized Factory Team blue. The 12mm hexes use a 2-56 Socket Head Cap screw (included), which allows for the use of either a 5/64″ or 2mm Allen wrench. The hexes make a great upgrade for your SC10, or to convert your B4.1 or B44.1 to Team Associated’s new 12mm hex wheels.

With its superior suspension, race geometry, high performance diffs, bigbore shocks and race-clutch, it is already highly specced. All parts and options of the high end race version fit this Sport version too, so a step by step upgrade is possible.

From Xray for the NT1 these new progressive springs are soft at the beginning of the compression but become harder as the spring is compressed more in the middle, with the hardest at the end. Pearl-grey color and laser engraved for easy identification they are available as a pair, with the springs individually measured, controlled, inspected and matched to provide identical damping characteristics. During the selection process, each spring is compressed in several fine increments and the values are recorded. Each spring is then matched with another spring of identical characteristics.
