Team Associated RC8B3 FT CVA driveshafts

New from Team Associated come Factory Team CVA driveshafts for the RC8B3 and RC8B3e. They can be used as a tuning option to the universals that come standard in the kits as the CVA assemblies will provide a more aggressive steering feeling, perfect for use on smoother track surfaces. They include steel axles from standard but the an optional aluminium axle can be used for further adjustment to minimise both rotating and unsprung mass, giving an even more aggressive steering feeling and quicker acceleration; ideal for smooth tracks with high-grip levels. All components in the CVA sets are available as individual parts and can be rebuilt as wear occurs using the rebuild kit.

DE Racing RC8B3 BumpSkid & rear skid plate

New from DE Racing and made for the Team Associated RC8B3 are the front BumpSkid and rear skid plate. The BumpSkid combines a superior front skid plate with a refined front bumper to create the ultimate in protection and performance. The rear skid plates offer the highest quality engineering resin that wears like aluminium at a fraction of the weight while eliminating the need for longer screws. Both parts protect the chassis from excessive wear on abrasive surfaces.

Tekno RC alloy servo arms & PVC pit mat

Coming soon from Tekno RC are aluminium servo arms and a PVC pit mat. Starting with the servo horns, they are designed to minimise force transmitted to the servo in the event of a hard landing or crash. They utilise a bottom mount design that, as opposed to a top mount, lowers the leverage point and helps increase the life of the servo top bearing and gears. A hefty M3 locking screw ensures the servo horn will never come loose again and the servo horn is available as 23T, 24T and 25T servo spline variant. Also new is a 60x120cm PVC pit mat. The mat is easy to roll up and it keeps the pit space clean and stylish.

SMJ short spring alloy collars

Available now from Speedmaster Japan are alloy collars for the use of short springs on standard length touring car shock absorbers. The collars allow the use of 20mm springs on shock absorbers that normally utilise standard 25mm springs as they bridge the gap between the preload nut and the spring that occurs when using short-type springs. The collars also save time in the pits as changing spring configurations is now much easier without having to readjust the preload nut every time you swap between long and short springs. The collars are made from high-quality aluminium, they come black or blue anodised and are usable with all shocks of up to 13mm diameter and all springs of 14mm inner diameter or more.

Motiv RC 3D-printed Fan Stand

Motiv RC have introduced their new Fan Stand, a mount designed to be a guard for the exposed motor fan blades. Its more important purpose though is to give the fan a larger and flat foot print so it can easily be secured to the chassis anywhere using double sided tape. The 3D-printed unit is tailor made for the Motiv HV Super Fan but will work in conjunction with any 30×30 fan.

Team Associated RC10TC7 FT touring car

Team Associated have release their next generation of 1:10 scale 4WD electric touring car, the RC10TC7 FT, the prototype of which swept the podium at the 2015 ROAR Paved On-Road Nationals. Coming packed full of Factory Team options and a refined suspension package with precise adjustments, the result is an unequalled level of consistency. The focus was on a more precise feel with updates in suspension component composites and ultra-smooth FOX shocks with Genuine Kashima Coat. The floating servo controls an updated dual bellcrank steering system with a low centre of gravity and refined Ackermann range, which allows the most direct steering feeling for any track condition. The updated motor mount is centrally located to produce the most consistent chassis flex to help keep cornering predictable while accurate gear alignment provides high efficiency, acceleration and top speed.
