Following Jesper Rasmussen and Joakim Nicolaisen Team Associated announce the signing of another up and coming Scandinavian talent in the form of Niclas Mansson from Sweden. Niclas is a long standing and loyal Team Associated driver and has committed to the team for 2014. “Mr. Nice” will help spearhead the younger members of the team and brings with him a wealth of experience. Niclas is a well respected, meticulous and likeable young man with exceptional car preparation. This is what Niclas has to say about the deal:
I’ve raced the Team Associated products for many years now and it’s fantastic for me to be part of the Scandinavian team. I’m so excited and cant wait to get my hands on the new cars and have a fantastic summer. Everybody in the team are pumped up and can’t wait to get racing together. Its a fantastic opportunity for me and the rest of the Scandinavian guys to join the team and race the products that are very universal for the tracks here in Europe. I’m really happy with the team set-up and the positive feeling everybody has within the team. Using the Reedy products will also be a huge asset for me when attending some of the large races. My testing so far has been very positive. I’m excited to get started and get myself prepared for the 2014 season. It started off well at the DHI cup and I hope my success continues. Thank you to everybody at Team Associated/Reedy and especially Craig Drescher.

Team C Racing introduce these carbon fibre A-arm stiffeners for the T8T truggy kit. The parts are machined from strong carbon material and designed to reinforce the lower A-arms of the T8T line of trucks when running on very high grip surfaces or in high ambient temperatures. As details on the parts are a bit vague we think you may need to drill the needed mounting holes in the arms on your own but maybe there is a running change on the T8T arms so they come drilled from stock.
