Team Associated Scion Racing FR-S & tC LiPo Combos

The latest in the line of Team Associated RTR vehicles that received the LiPo Combo treatment are the Apex Scion Racing FR-S and tC 1/10th touring cars. Both build on the all-wheel-drive Apex chassis, and they come fully assembled and ready-to-run with factory installed Reedy brushless motor and controller. Additional features include the XP water-resistant speed control and XP 2.4GHz radio system. The front and rear sealed metal gear differentials are connected together with a tough aluminium drive shaft that handles all of the Reedy brushless power. Imperfections in the road are managed by four adjustable fluid-filled coil-over tuned shocks. Both the FR-S and the tC are available in “road going” standard versions with high-grip racing tyres and also as drift variant with hard plastic drift-style wheels. As usual with the LiPo Combo offerings a Reedy 423-S 35W balance charger and WolfPack 3300mAh 30 LiPo battery pack round out the package.

MIP B5/T5 Eco All-in-1 topshaft

New from MIP and made for the Team Associated B5 and T5 series of vehicles is the Eco All-in-1 topshaft. The shaft is designed to work with the original 3-gear rear motor, 4-gear mid motor, 4-gear V2 mid motor, 3 gear mid motor, and the MIP Box gearbox which was made possible by some clever engineering that allows to run all necessary bearing sizes on one top shaft. Along with the 5-in-1 capability the contact surface is 30 percent narrower than normal, equating to less overall contact patch and drag on the idler gear. The shaft also weighs in at a feather light 3.8 grams, making it ideal especially for 17.5 stock class needs.
