RC-Project XB8 titanium shock standoffs

RC-Project from Italy have introduced their new titanium shock standoffs for the Xray XB8 series of vehicles. Machined from high-quality 6Al4V titanium and featuring rolled threads for increased precision and stability, the standoffs are available as front -1/0mm and rear +3/0mm variant, allowing to fine-tune the shock angle according to the suspension’s caster and anti-squat settings which results in less stress on the damper’s piston, piston rod and body and therefore creates an overall smoother shock action with reduced internal wear. The front and rear standoffs are available separately and they come as pairs including shims to adjust the shock angle.

RC-Project 1/8th off-road shock standoffs

RC-Project from Italy have announced the release of their all-new shock standoffs for 1/8th off-road buggies. Machined from high-quality 7075-T6 Ergal material the standoff bushings are of a specific design and geometry that greatly improves parts life of bushing and standoff over common designs. In addition a hard-coated surface and teflon treatment reduces friction between the bushing and standoff, allowing for a parts life of about 30 to 35 litres without replacing the standoff or bushing. The standoffs are available as 0 offset or +5 offset variants, separately or as Pro Driver package including Grade 5 6Al4V Titanium rolled thread screws for Team Associated, HB Racing, Mugen and SWorkz kits.

RC-Project MBX8 Ergal shock pins

Coming from RC-Project and made for the Mugen MBX8 and MBX8 Eco are threaded aluminium shock pins. They are machined from high-quality Ergal 7075-T6 material and come hard-coated for exceptional wear. A machined groove ensures a secure fitment using an additional M3 grub screw, meaning the pins will stay in place even in harsh racing conditions. The overall diameter of the pins has been optimised to make for best possible fitment of pin, arm and ball. The set includes four directional pins, enough to outfit one complete car.

RC-Project S35-3 Valente Edition shock pins

Coming from RC-Project and made for the SWorkz S35-3 series vehicles are the Valente Edition 7075-T6 Ergal lower shock pins. Machined from high-quality material and coming with a hard surface finish for wear, the lower shock mounting pins reduce unsprung weight while offering exceptional durability at the same time. The pins are directional, coming with left and right hand threads to prevent them from becoming loose during operation. The pins can be fixed using a 2.5mm hex or 5.5mm socket wrench and they are available now.

RC-Project 8ight-X titanium & aluminium option parts

RC-Project from Italy have introduced new option parts for the TLR 8ight-X 1/8th off-road buggy. First up is a set of titanium shock standoffs that are made of high-quality Grade 5 6Al4V material and that features rolled threads that guarantee a perfect coupling with the shock nuts and increase the resistance of the Titanium by 35 percent. Weighing in at 4.8g for the pair, the standoffs will lower the overall centre of gravity while adding rigidity and visual impact at the same time.

RC-Project titanium clutch retainer screw

Coming from RC-Project is a titanium clutch retainer screw for off-road style clutches. Machined from certified Grade 5 6Al4V titanium the screw is 8.5mm long and due to its design the screw head protrudes only 2.5mm which allows for greater clearance towards the fuel tank, ensuring greater security in case of excessive chassis flex. The design also eliminates any rubbing issues between the screw head and the clutch bearing, reducing operation temperatures and the chance of ball bearing failures while the screw’s large outer diameter offers protection against dust and debris. The screw is usable with most 1/8th off-road and many single speed GT clutches. The screws are available separately, as 2-piece or 5-piece packages.
