Trinity have introduced two new chassis protectors for the Team Associated B6 and Xray XB2. Coming in the Monster Horsepower design the stickers not only protect the chassis bottom from becoming damaged or excessively scratched on abrasive surfaces but they also let the car look cool in the pits or when upside down. The pre-cut decals are available from now on.

The latest in the line of Team Associated’s 1/18th scale “re-releases” is the Rival 1:18 4WD monster truck. Just like its cousins the Reflex 1:18 and Apex 1:18, the Rival monster truck comes complete with a transmitter, motor, battery, and charger. All that is needed to do is charge the included battery pack and add four AA batteries to get them running. The Rival features chrome wheels with aggressive, terrain-defying monster truck tyres and an inline-mounted “Super 370” high-performance motor. The truck is available in two different bodyshell designs and it hits the stores very soon.
Team Associated have introduced the Reflex 1/18th scale 4WD ready-to-run off-road buggy. The former RC18 received a bodyshell with a new paint scheme but otherwise relies on proven features such as white spoked wheels, the XP radio system , fluid-filled shocks, and an inline mounted Super 370 high performance motor. A 6-cell battery and wall charger are also included with the buggy being available with a black or white livery.

Coming from Diggity Designs is the Performance Line range of carbon fibre option parts for the Team Associated B6 series of buggies. All products are machined from US-sourced quasi carbon fibre material and the range includes 2.5mm battery straps, 2.5mm steering knuckle arms, as well as 4mm straight and gull wing arms front shock towers and also 4mm standard and long-type rear shock towers.
Coming from JConcepts and made for Team Associated’s 6th generation buggies are a total of four front wing options. Mounted above the front shock tower on the B6 series of vehicles, the Aero front wing mounts in clean air and is quite easy to trim, use and test without sacrificing all important track time. Available in two widths, the driver can choose either the narrow for a lighter feel or wide for heavier down force. The Aero wing features a high-attack design with trim-able rear gurney options and a radical, edgy design which functions and compliments the Finnisher and Silencer body design. Cut lines are included for easy trimming while triple wing mount dimples are included for a bolt-on fit. The leading centre section of the wing has been formed into a unique V-shape to perfectly outline the front shock tower geometry. The wings are available for the flat and gullwing front shocktowers, making it four options to choose from.

T-Works have introduced a range of option parts for Team Associated’s all-new B6-series buggies. First up are several C-hub bushings to fine-tune the steering knuckle height within the C-hub. Available are three different sets; the first one offers two 0 and +3 settings, the second one includes two +1 and +2 bushings and the third includes four +1.5 bushings. Also available is a full set that comes with all of the above.

Coming from Team Associated and made for the B6 buggy are new brass under battery weights. The plates fit under the LiPo battery pack, allowing to add weight at one of the lowest points of the chassis, resulting in improved handling and stability on high-grip surfaces. Each set contains a 26g and a 43g weight both of which are laser-etched for easy identification.
