X-Factory UK Sensor Protektorz chassis decals

X-Factory UK have introduced their new Sensor Protektorz chassis decals for the Team Associated B6.1 or 6.2, the TLR 22 5.0 series, Schumacher Cougar Laydown, Xray XB2 2018 to 2020 and the Yokomo YZ2 DTM and CAL. The stickers protect the motor sensor lead from damage and they are printed on durable, self-adhesive high-grade vinyl. They sport brand co-ordinated logos and schemes for that factory look and help to conceal the sensor lead in many of today’s leading 2WD buggies down the routed channel along the spine of the chassis. Each decal is die-cut to follow the machined recess’s and specific shape of the chassis and thus makes for a neat and tidy professional looking electrics install.

Klinik RC Schumacher shock pistons

Coming from Klinik RC and made for Schumacher’s current Cougar 2WD and Cat 4WD buggies are precision-machined shock pistons. Designed to fit and perform they fit the shock bodies extremely well and have precise dimensions to ensure 100 percent consistency and accuracy. The pistons are precision-machined from genuine Dupont Teflon and they have the hole sizes machined into the top for easy identification. Attached much more secure than the stock pistons, the stock countersunk screw fits the top perfectly, doing away with loose or lost screws in the middle of a run. The pistons come in sets of two and in the most popular 2-hole and 3-hole setups.
