T-Works have introduced their new tyre glueing bands for 1/8th off-road tyres. The rubber bands span over the tyre during glueing, helping to press the carcass onto the rim’s bead for an optimised bond between the tyre and the rim. The set includes eight bands that sport white T-Works logos.
T-Works have announced the release of new carbon fibre optional parts in the form of a rear shock tower as well as upper and lower arm stiffeners. The rear shock tower is machined from high-quality 4mm sheet material and it is understood to mimic the stock shock absorber and camber link geometry. The part replaces the standard aluminium shock tower and it is usable for both the nitro and electric-powered variants. Also new are front upper, front lower and rear lower carbon fibre arm stiffeners that help to adjust overall arm flex to match the existing track conditions. The sets are available in thin 1mm and thicker 1.2mm versions which further helps to fine-tune the suspension settings. Included comes suitable mounting hardware, making the plates a direct fit.
Coming from T-Works and made for the Team Associated RC8B3.2 is a carbon fibre centre gearbox plate. The part is cut from high-quality carbon fibre and it is a direct fit to the centre bulkhead of the nitro-powered RC8B3.2. Included in the set come two metal bushings for the brake cams, ensuring improved durability of both the brake cams and the carbon plate.
Coming from T-Works and made for the Team Associated RC8B3.2 buggy are three new carbon fibre option parts in the form of a receiver box plate, a receiver battery box plate as well as servo spacers. The carbon fibre receiver box and receiver battery box covers are direct replacements for the standard composite items, offering a low weight and streamlined looks. They can be attached using standard hardware and come as separate items. Also new and machined from 2.5mm carbon fibre are carbon fibre servo spacers. They attach to the radio tray posts and lift the throttle servo by 2.5mm when not running the respective radio tray or transponder mount plate, replacing the standard moulded parts. The precision-machined spacers come in sets of two.
Coming from T-Works are their new 5.5mm and 7mm nut driver tool tips for the use with standard rotary tools.

The kit is a drop-in solution and it includes pre-wired standard universal-type receiver and battery connectors.
