Schelle Racing Innovations have introduced the 0.5mm offset steering bushing set for the Team Associated B5M buggy. The 0.5mm-Up setting was requested by many team drivers as their go-to, so Schelle made this special set of bushings to get the hot setup without using any shims or washers. The set is usable with the T5M and SC5M as well, with the 0.5-Down position being advised for trucks.

Made for Team Associated’s 1/10th scale off-road vehicles are the new ProTek clamping design servo arms. The horn has been machined to the exact specifications and dimensions of the plastic Team Associated ASC9180 servo horn, but provides the precision, rigidity and durability required for the latest generation of high-performance RC vehicles. The horn also weighs a mere two grams while providing the insurance of the clamping design to ensure the horn remains in place even if the retainer screw comes loose. The arms are available for 23T, 24T and 25T spline servos and in black or blue anodising.
Avid have introduced several Aura bearing sets for the Team Associated B6 and B6D buggies. Available as wheel hub, gearbox or full set the packages include up to 16 single seal or open ceramic ball bearings that use high-speed nylon ball retainers and Si3N4 ceramic balls for tight tolerances and the lowest possible friction. All bearings come pre-oiled with high-speed AeroShell light oil.

Trinity have introduced the WWHD laydown transmission conversion for the Team Associated T5M and SC5M trucks. The Humpty Helms developed conversion will improve the truck’s corner speed especially in high bite conditions with the set including a machined laydown transmission case, carbon fibre motor plate, carbon fibre camber link mount, carbon fibre battery brace and two truck-specific shock towers along mounting hardware.
Coming soon from Schelle Racing Innovations is an upper titanium screw set for the Team Associated B6 buggy. Made using Grade 5 6Al-4V material the screws offer a 40 percent weight advantage over conventional steel screws while being highly corrosion resistant at the same time. The set strategically removes the kit’s steel screws from up high above the chassis, which lowers the centre of gravity and improves handling while all chassis bottom screws are not included in this set.

Team Associated have introduced the RC8B3 V2 differential sets for both the nitro and electric-powered variants. They feature a new internal bevel gear set to make the strongest tooth form with optimal fluid shear characteristics, ensuring long life and the broadest working spectrum for almost all track conditions. The outdrives have been re-worked to make for a perfect bearing surface for smooth differential action under any load. The diff case and inserts were tooled for the highest in precision, giving proper gear backlash every time. Hardened steel, straight-cut bevel gears or spurs cap the system off.
