Exotek 1/10th Associated rear hub set

Exotek Racing introduce this 0 degree rear hub set for 1/10th Team Associated off-road vehicles such as the B4, B4.1, B44, T4, T4.1, and SC10. They feature vertical style ball end mounting positions for variable roll center adjustments. Simply add shims under the ball ends to lower or raise the roll center. Three position ball locations match the Factory Team hubs for easy set up reference. They are CNC-machined from high-quality aluminium and make use of the same heavy duty oversized outer bearings, crush sleeve and shims as the factory team hubs. The simple design results in 30 percent lighter weight then the Factory Team hubs.

Associated TC6.1 Worlds car kit

The Associated TC6.1 Worlds car kit builds upon the already-successful ROAR and BRCA national championship-winning TC6.1 platform with several performance-enhancing upgrades that boost the car to the next level. The TC6.1 WC is built on a new ultra-narrow 2.25mm-thick carbon-fiber chassis with optimized flex along with maximum chassis-roll ground clearance. The new narrow chassis helps reduce chassis drag during the hardest cornering. Also included in the TC6.1 WC are the Factory Team Vertical Ballstud Bearing Caps. Previously available only as a Factory Team upgrade, the vertical ballstud bearing caps provide finer increments of adjustment. This increased adjustability will allow the racer to tune the suspension with even more precision than before.

Associated RC10B44.2 Factory Team kit

The RC10B44 is a proven winning platform with two IFMAR World Championships and four ROAR National titles under its belt. The B44.2 Factory Team kit takes the next step in drawing out every opportunity to maximize the 4WD buggy’s potential. The big news on the B44.2 is the new Factory Team 12mm ‘Big Bore’ hard-anodized shocks. The shocks feature threaded collars, machined aluminium shock caps with bleed screws, and are completed with TiN “Gold” 3mm shock shafts. The end result is a 12mm shock that delivers a plush and compliant ride that keeps the B44.2’s tires planted on the ground.

Reflex Racing TC6/TC6.1 options

Reflex Racing introduce new option parts for the Team Associated TC6 and TC6.1 as well as their own RSD6 conversion. The bell crank system V3 is the latest incarnation of Reflex Racing’s ball-raced TC6 steering assembly and is designed to give smoother, faster steering response as well as increased corner speed. Also available are the steering arms V3 and the steering bridge V3. Also new are the RSD 311 and 315 shock pistons that are manufactured with the biggest diameter possible in order to provide a shock that allows less oil blow-by which allows the car to switch directions faster in high grip situations. Available are the 311 pistons with three 1.1mm holes for hot weather conditions and the 315 pistons with three 1.15mm holes for bumpy track surfaces.

The shocks are precision CNC machined, hard anodized aluminium with aluminium shock caps, threaded collars and seal caps. These shocks have been tested and developed by Team Associated’s top drivers to provide a plush and consistent feel for the 1:10 off-road fleet of Team Associated vehicles. Since their winning debut in prototype form at the 2012 Cactus Classic, the team has used them to win every major event in the US, including a dominating performance by Ryan Cavalieri at the ROAR 1:10 Off-Road Super Nationals in 2WD and 4WD Modified.
