STRC Team Associated B5 series option parts

STRC introduce the first in a line of option parts for the Team Associated B5 and B5M. First up is a 25 degree front aluminium bulkhead. The bulkhead increases the durability of the front end of the buggy while adding a bit of weight to the front of the buggy to help assist in tuning for more steering out of your buggy. The set-screw over hinge-pin design provides long life for the aluminium parts as the hinge-pin will not wear down the bulkhead over time.

RSD TC6.2 RSD7 carbon fibre chassis

Available now from Reflex Racing is the RSD7 carbon fibre chassis for the Team Associated TC6.2 touring car. The shape of the chassis has been engineered so that the car can roll and pitch more naturally, increasing the traction and the steering of the TC6.2, which translates into more corner speed and stability. This is further assisted by the reduced width of only 85mm that has been chosen to promote more roll in the corners as well as allow to run a lower ride height when necessary. On top of that the battery position is pushed further back to increase corner entry steering. Other features include mounting holes for an optional and soon available motor mount and drilled holes underneath the front bellcranks allow easy access to the inverted bellcrank screws. Optional keyed-in carbon fibre battery holders are available separately.

MIP SC10/T4 Pucks Shiny drive system

MIP’s Pucks Shiny drive system is now available for the SC10 & T4 trucks. Made from steel, retaining the same overall weight that you are used to with your steel OEM drivetrain, these give you the added benefit of MIP Pucks that are fully serviceable.
