MIP T5M & SC5M Bypass1 Team Tuned shock piston kit

MIP’s Bypass1 Team Tuned shock piston kits are now also available for the Team Associated T5M race and SC5M stadium truck. The design of the shock pistons allows to adjust the compression and rebound separately thanks to a system that used different valves to control the shock piston’s movement. Using the system not only makes for a more planted ride, it also allows to push the vehicle harder while making it easier to drive at the same time. Included with the Team Tuned kit come T5M and SC5M compatible pistons and “fast” green, “medium” blue and “medium-slow” matte valves.

JConcepts B5M aluminium wing mounts & buttons

Coming from JConcepts and made for the Team Associated B5M buggy is an aluminium wing mounts and buttons set. The rear wing mount of the B5M vehicle is under a serious load during crashes and inevitable direct landings so JConcepts has beefed up the wing mount area with the introduction of the aluminium mounts specifically designed for this buggy. Made from CNC-machined aluminium and available in blue and black colour, these mounts are designed in a creative but functional way to add rigidity to a high-impact area. A direct bolt-on part adds security, high-end looks and peace of mind for the hard-core basher and racer. Securing the wing to the mounts is made easy with the included Finnisher style aluminium wing buttons which accept a 3mm flat head screw. The use of these parts in conjunction with JConcept’s optional aluminium wing shim adds durability and a direct clamp to the assembly. The added boss on the wing mounts also aligns the pre-cut B5M Hi-Clearance wing perfectly for a show quality look, fit and finish.
