New Team Associated setup & countertop mats

Team Associated’s countertop/setup mat has undergone a facelift with the new black design replacing the earlier blue version and a new Reedy-branded variant being also available. Being only available through rc10.com these 16″ x 20″ mats provide a protective surface for countertops and RC pit tables alike. Preventing stains from nitro fuel, shock oil, dirt and grime, these mats are a great way to protect working place surfaces and they also do good as an RC pit table setup board, providing a flat surface for pre-race checks of ride height and camber/toe.

JConcepts T5M titanium knurl tip front axles

Made for the Team Associated T5M are the new titanium knurl tip front axles from JConcepts. The design is based around a high-quality titanium construction, and a knurled axle tip for finger control and access. Finger control gives the mechanic a grippy place to rest a finger so the front tyre doesn’t rotate easily during changes making the process quicker and with less frustration. The design also eliminates screws and other items which are hard to inspect for issues which limit performance and add additional weight. The light-weight, free spinning design includes axle roll-pins to allow easy assembly of a necessary but (not included) clamping hex adaptor.

Team Associated Kashima-coated V2 Fox shocks

New from Team Associated come the Factory Team V2 Fox shock bodies with genuine Kashima coat. The shocks have the same attributes as the shock coat found on the buttery-smooth Fox Factory Series forks and shocks, providing extended life and silky-smooth shock action. The shock shafts use a screw to secure the piston and there are two coatings to choose from: TiN shafts for the longest life and Factory Team chrome shafts for the smoothest action. The pistons come machined for a precision fit and finish and their edges have large radiuses for the smoothest shock action. Also available are blanks for customising own piston hole combinations. The shock accessories are available in a range of different sizes to fit Team Associated’s 1/10 scale 2WD and 4WD electric buggies, as well as 1/10 scale 2WD electric trucks and short course vehicles.

Exotek T5 & DEX210 Flite titanium front axles

Exotek have new Flite-series titanium front axles for the Team Associated T5 and the Team Durango DEX210 available. Starting with the Team Associated part, the precision machined front axles weigh in at only 5g a pair while stock axles are 11g meaning a significant reduction of rotational mass as well as unsprung weight. The axles are nearly as strong as steel and they come in a polished finish for added looks. Also new are titanium wheel axles for the Team Durango DEX210 buggy. Offering a 12mm hex and an offset design the shafts allow to use standard B5 front wheels. Like the T5 Flite axles they significantly reduce unsprung weight and rotational mass compared to steel axles and they come machined to an eye-catching finish.

MIP T5M Pucks Bi-Metal R-CVD drive system

MIP introduce the Pucks 17.5 Bi-Metal R-CVD drive system for the Team Associated T5M stadium truck. The design is unlike standard C-CVDs as it features a keyed joint made out of hardened alloy steel that connects to 7075 hard anodised aluminium. This feature allows to lighten up the drivetrain without sacrificing the durability that steel components offer. Also with the R-CVD design it couples the original wheel axle components with the MIP Bi-Metal bone to keep costs low and give the essentials to transfer over to MIP’s Pucks system. Included are also 7075 hard anodised aluminium outdrives and the necessary components to build an aluminium puck ball differential differential.

Pro-Line Pro-Spec buggy shocks

Pro-Line have introduced 1/10th buggy versions of their Pro-Spec high-performance shock absorbers. Previously only available for 1/10th short course trucks the shock Pro-Spec dampers now also come for today’s most popular buggies. They are of a 12mm Big Bore design with a single low friction X-ring seal while the pistons and shaft guides are made from smooth white Delrin for low stiction. The threaded aluminium bodies house 3.5mm thick shock shafts with hard chrome coating, just like full scale racing shocks. The shocks also feature an easy access bleeder cap screw for consistent shock builds every time and each pair includes three different piston options of 1.4, 1.6 and 1.8 sizes as well as a blank piston for drilling to a custom size. Custom shock tightening tools and optional shock limiters are also included. The dampers accept most 12mm big bore buggy springs and included are also several upper and lower shock pivot balls as well as optional +2, +4 and +6mm spring perches to fit a wider range of vehicles right out of the box. Coming as separate front and rear sets the shocks are known to fit the Team Associated B5, B5M and B44.3, the Kyosho RB6 and ZX-6, the TLR 22 2.0 and 22-4 as well as the Yokomo B-Max2 and B-Max4.
