X Factory hub camber plates

X Factory introduce 3mm carbon fibre hub camber plates for the use with the Team Associated aluminum hub carriers. Coming as a set of four, including a pair of 4-hole plates of standard AE height and two 3-hole plates that are 0.072” lower than standard. The lower ball stud gives the car better balance in corners because it does not shift as much weight to the outside tire. The camber link plates come with black 0.030” spacers to extend the ball stud so the ball cup does not interfere with the hub carrier, and two black locking nuts to secure the ball studs. The plates for all cars that make use of the AE aluminum hub carriers.

JConcepts T4.2 Finnisher 1/10th truck body

Seen at last weekend’s JConcepts Winter Indoor Nationals, the new Finnisher 1/10th truck body for the T4.2 racing truck is now available. The slight cab forward, raked windshield and aggressive stance highlight a performance oriented core. A revised front hood scoop allows plenty of clearance for the redesigned front-end T4.2 geometry while smoothing out the front down force area. Front chin spoiler, headlight and grill protect the front-end from unwanted up-drafts during flight while the supplied decals stand-out like an 18 wheeler. Like the ROAR National Champion Hi-Flow SCT body, the T4.2 body has built-in air escape passages which allow the customer to fine-tune the body for maximum outdoor performance. The new body includes the high performance gurney spoiler which increases rear grip and balances the handling characteristics of the aggressively styled body.

Associated Factory Team machined tapered pistons

Associated have released new Factory Team machined pistons for the 12mm big bore shocks to take performance to the next level. Precision CNC machined pistons allow for the best fitment and concentricity with the shock body to improve handling and consistency. The new pistons are also tapered for independent tuning of compression and rebound. For example, a tapered piston with the taper facing down will travel faster in rebound than it will in compression, allowing the user to tune the rebound and compression movement independently. Available in 2 hole (1.5mm, 1.6mm & 1.7mm), 3 hole (1.4mm) and 4 hole (1.3mm) versions.
