Made for 5th and 4th generation Team Associated 1/10th vehicles as well as AE and TLR MIP ball differentials is a machined T-nut from MIP. The 7075-T6 machined aluminium T-nut is completely rebuildable by simply replacing the small nylon inserts. These high quality nylon inserts increase the screws break away force by 20 percent, meaning that the diff screw will stay in its desired position much longer and increase the consistency of the differential over time. The aluminium design also increases sheer strength of the “T” by 40 percent. Included in the set are the aluminium T-nut and two nylon inserts.

MIP’s Box gearbox for the Team Associated B5M has received a running change in the form of the MIP Eco All-In-1 Box that accommodates all current Team Associated and MIP topshafts on the market for the B5M and T5M platforms. Generally the gearbox bridges a gap and gives the mid motor vehicle all the benefits of the rear motor car but less drag and more initial punch with one less idler gear. The all-aluminium construct offers an advantage pertaining to more precise internal gear mesh, less overall heat, and stiffer bracing, better bearing seats and over 10 percent of the gear box weight reduced from the original box.

New from MIP and made for the Team Associated B5 and T5 series of vehicles is the Eco All-in-1 topshaft. The shaft is designed to work with the original 3-gear rear motor, 4-gear mid motor, 4-gear V2 mid motor, 3 gear mid motor, and the MIP Box gearbox which was made possible by some clever engineering that allows to run all necessary bearing sizes on one top shaft. Along with the 5-in-1 capability the contact surface is 30 percent narrower than normal, equating to less overall contact patch and drag on the idler gear. The shaft also weighs in at a feather light 3.8 grams, making it ideal especially for 17.5 stock class needs.

MIP’s Bypass1 Team Tuned shock piston kits are now also available for the Team Associated T5M race and SC5M stadium truck. The design of the shock pistons allows to adjust the compression and rebound separately thanks to a system that used different valves to control the shock piston’s movement. Using the system not only makes for a more planted ride, it also allows to push the vehicle harder while making it easier to drive at the same time. Included with the Team Tuned kit come T5M and SC5M compatible pistons and “fast” green, “medium” blue and “medium-slow” matte valves.

MIP introduce the Pucks 17.5 Bi-Metal R-CVD drive system for the Team Associated T5M stadium truck. The design is unlike standard C-CVDs as it features a keyed joint made out of hardened alloy steel that connects to 7075 hard anodised aluminium. This feature allows to lighten up the drivetrain without sacrificing the durability that steel components offer. Also with the R-CVD design it couples the original wheel axle components with the MIP Bi-Metal bone to keep costs low and give the essentials to transfer over to MIP’s Pucks system. Included are also 7075 hard anodised aluminium outdrives and the necessary components to build an aluminium puck ball differential differential.

The latest vehicle to receive MIP’s Pucks drive system treatment is the TLR 22SCT 2.0 short course truck. Designed especially for 17.5T stock class racing the set greatly reduces the drivetrain’s rotating masses by utilising aluminium C-CVD driveshafts, aluminium differential outdrives and the drivepin-replacing Pucks cushions that take the place of the inferior steel pins. This combination greatly increases the longevity of the drivetrain and most importantly decreases the drivetrain’s overall rotating mass by a whopping 50 percent. The decrease in weight directly results in quicker acceleration, deceleration, and lower motor temperatures. Beside the driveshafts the set also includes a full MIP ball differential, minus the diff gear, as well as wheel axles and small parts.

Coming from MIP and made for all TLR 22-series vehicles is a ball differential rebuild kit. It includes all necessary components to completely freshen up a diff without having to source several different part numbers. Part of the package are MIP modified diff rings, hardened thrust race washers, 3/32″ chrome steel balls, 5/64″ chrome steel thrust washer balls, a diff spring, a 2-56 x .925 diff screw shoulder, a moulded T-nut, diff thrust cover and a cup of diff lube and grease.
