MIP AE & TLR .250 bore machined T-nut

MIP .250 bore machined T-nut

Made for 5th and 4th generation Team Associated 1/10th vehicles as well as AE and TLR MIP ball differentials is a machined T-nut from MIP. The 7075-T6 machined aluminium T-nut is completely rebuildable by simply replacing the small nylon inserts. These high quality nylon inserts increase the screws break away force by 20 percent, meaning that the diff screw will stay in its desired position much longer and increase the consistency of the differential over time. The aluminium design also increases sheer strength of the “T” by 40 percent. Included in the set are the aluminium T-nut and two nylon inserts.

Team Associated Factory Team 500cc Pro fuel bottle

Team Associated have introduced the Factory Team 500cc Pro fuel bottle. This 500cc size will fill a 125cc buggy fuel tank four times before needing refilling, leaving time to focus on more urgent pitting tasks. A rubber cap prevents contamination and evaporation of contents and the bottle is measured from 50cc to 500cc in 50cc increments while a long, strategically curved neck provides easy reach of fuel tank opening.

JConcepts B5M 3-gear honeycomb motor plate

JConcepts has rolled out a replacement motor plate for the popular 3-gear transmission available for the B5M, T5M and SC5M vehicles. The special design of the plate with a honeycomb milling affect over the standard “heatsink” ribs makes for improved rigidity in multiple directions. The honeycomb features add a 3D look especially as they remain natural aluminium while the rest is available black or blue in colour while slight chamfering on the 3mm thickness material allows the rather beefy plate to look quite skinny.

JConcepts B5M 4-hole rear ballstud mount

Coming from JConcepts and made for Team Associated B5M-based vehicles is an aluminium 4-hole rear ballstud mount. Offering two new, additional holes for camber gain adjustment as well as two standard holes the mount allows an in-between setting as well as an evenly spaced 4th hole all the way inside. In addition, the mount also features a setting which allows the racer to change the orientation of the mount to either -2mm or +2mm of inner ball-stud height. The durability in this mounting area has been put to the test with difficult race circuits and especially with the introduction of the T5M and the pending release of the SC5M. The JConcepts part therefore also has added thickness around the screw mounting holes, a thickened main connection U-brace and for twisting and bending resistance a thick rib added from the main body to the screw location boss. The part fits all M-series Team Associated off-road vehicles and it comes black or blue anodised.

Schelle B5M offset V2 topshaft set

The new Schelle offset V2 topshaft set for the Team Associated B5M, T5M and SC5M was designed to shift the motor weight closer to car’s centre line. The set utilises a 3mm extended hard-anodised aluminium top shaft, spacer tube, and a 3mm carbon fibre motor plate spacer to shift the motor plate and slipper unit in the car. This results in more stability and symmetric turning forces. The set fits any V2 3-gear or 4-gear gearbox.
