Stadium trucks are fun to drive and durable, not least because the body protects the parts that are exposed on a 2WD buggy. Of course, this comes at a price, and stadium trucks bodies usually don’t last as long as their little brothers. For Team Associated’s latest entry to the category, help has arrived in form of the Revolution Design T6.2 body mount stiffener set. Precisely machined carbon fibre stiffeners brace the body mounts against the impacts of involuntary tough landings, thus reducing stress on the polycarbonate body. As a side effect, body clips tend to stay in place much better, which aids to solve another regular issue of stadium trucks.
Add extra durability and precision with RDRP’s new aluminium steering blocks for Team Associated’s sixth generation of 2WD vehicles. Sharing the geometry with the kit’s 4mm offset plastic parts, they are a direct replacement without influencing your dialled set-up too much. The black anodised aluminium parts are labelled with laser-etched L and R marks, and of course the well-known RDRP logo. Silver chamfered edges round out the stealthy factory look.

New from Factory Team are these solid titanium front axles for your RC10T6 and RC10SC6 series trucks.

Exotek have introduced their new turbine cooling triple slipper disks for the DR10 and TLR 22 top shafts for quicker slipper cool downs before the next pass. Provides added consistency due to 3 friction plates and slipper cooling via the extra heat sink fins that also spins as fan blades as the motor turns for increased air flow over the slipper plate therefore helping reduce heat glazing of the slipper pads which results in melted pads. Includes 3 high grade LCF pro style slipper pads for Octalock type Associated spur gears (gear not included). Has a small 12mm inner diameter for more surface area for improved slipper efficiency and works with the stock DR10/TLR 22 top shafts and requires AE Octalock spur gears. Also from Exotek is this new heavy duty steel top shaft replacement for the 2wd Slash based drag cars for use with DR10 slipper sets or Exotek MK #2012 #2015 slipper sets or the Exotek #1942 slipper eliminator. A 1-piece no-pin construction for maximum reliability but still weighing only 12.5gr each.
