JConcepts AE 2WD aluminium motor mount

JConcepts introduce the aluminium honeycomb motor mount for Team Associated’s B4, T4 and SC10 line of off-road vehicles. Machined from 3mm high quality aluminium the design of the motor plate improves overall rigidity over conventional ‘slotted’ designs as the honeycomb sections holes offer more stability in multiple directions while reducing weight at the same time. Chamfered edges let the beefy plate look more skinny than it is. The plate is a direct replacement and available in blue and black colour.

MIP Pucks Drive System & alloy B4 C-CVD shafts

MIP Pucks Drive System & alloy C-CVD shafts

MIP introduce new option parts for the TLR SCTE truck and the Team Associated B4 buggy. Starting with the SCTE part, new are the MIP Puck Drive System centre driveshafts that reduce the running noise of TLR’s 4WD SC truck. The set contains two 7075-T6 aluminium C-CVD centre driveshafts, centre input hubs and special pucks that make for a wobble free fit of the shafts in the input hubs. Taking half the weight out of the drive system the set improves acceleration and braking performance and the design significantly reduces the running noise due to zero backlash. The parts are a direct replacement for the stock TLR shafts and come including hardware for a drop-in fit.

Vision Racing SC10 carbon chassis stiffener

Vision Racing introduce 2mm carbon fibre chassis stiffeners for the Team Associated SC10 series vehicles. This upgrade is designed to enhanced the performance of the truck’s stock chassis flex by stiffening and adding weight to the lowest point of the chassis but also keeping it centralised for improved handling characteristics. The modification is comparable to adding carbon arms and parts to the Team Associated vehicles allowing it to work much better on high bite tracks and it works well with the new anti-roll bar kit allowing it to carry even more corner speed. Included with the carbon parts come 18 4-40 x 3/16 countersunk screws for installation.

Smokem Racing TC6MX carbon chassis

SmokemTC6MX-1

Smokem Racing introduce this optional carbon fibre chassis for the Team Associated TC6 and TC6.1 touring car. Called the TC6MX the chassis offers additional flex, delivering more grip and a wider tuning window. This allows the driver to dial-in the car over a wider range of temperature and track conditions. The 2.25mm thick chassis features distinctive curved shoulders that enhances the flex characteristics of the chassis compared to the stock TC6 and TC6.1 designs. As a result, the TC6MX delivers unparalleled handling response during quick direction changes and turn-in, while maintaining maximum stability on corner exit.

Zen-Racing 1/12 rear pod

Zen-Racing have launched a new rear pod assembly for the most popular 1/12 cars on the market. The rear motor mount and suspension part is made from high-quality 2.5mm carbon fibre and aerospace-quality aluminium. It is of a full box design to keep the pod rigid and square under the extreme forces of the modern brushless motors. Existing rear pods with plastic ride height adjusters can distort under the torque from the motor, the Zen option stops this and it also incorporates a sliding ride height adjustment for the rear axle doing away with the need to remove the shaft to adjust the ground clearance. An optional carbon shim set is also available offering adjustment steps down to 0.15mm. The upgrade part is available for Associated, Yokomo, CRC, Serpent and other chassis.
