Zeppin Racing TC6.1 & T3 2012 top decks

Zeppin Racing have released new 2mm flex top plates for the Team Associated TC6.1 and Xray T3 2012. The original top plate for the TC6.1 was engineered for firmness and in addition the upper deck is too wide meaning it touches the motor which restricts flexing. This newly designed 2mm thick top deck is 2mm narrower (-1mm each side) to avoid touching the motor, plus extra holes provide a bit more flex in order to improve overall traction. Aiming for more steering on the T3 chassis, they have deliberately made a narrower top deck to increase steering, especially in mid corner.

Sun-Young Hwang, who chose to drive THECar for 2012 showed great performance in the qualifying rounds, but a big crash from behind at the start of final caused him broken throttle linkage. 20 minutes into the final, it was all about DJ Park, Jae-Kyun Kim and Ryan Lee.
