T-Works have expanded their range of rear tension rod mounts to include the Mugen MBX8 and Associated RC8B3.2. The braces are machined from 7075 T6 aluminium which has been anodised black and finished with chamfered edging. The new parts help improve strength and increase stiffness over the stock parts and come supplied with the relevant mounting hardware.
From Team Associated come these new flat and tapered Factory Team 16mm shock pistons for RC8B3 and RC8T3 series 16mm shocks. Machined from high quality Delrin, they add more tuning options to dial in suspension settings. Flat pistons have equal compression and rebound, making them ideal on smoother surfaces, while tapered pistons have less resistance when the shaft is traveling in the direction of the taper angle. If the taper angle is set down, the piston will have less resistance in rebound and more resistance during compression and this is what makes tapered pistons more ideal on rough surfaces.

More new black and blue anodised options for the Associated B6.3 from Exotek Racing. First up is the heavy duty 7075 alloy front camber mount that has been intricately machined to reduce its weight to only 15 grams, only 4 more than stock, while insuring its heavy duty construction. Also up front is the 10 gram bulkhead that has 2 settings for kick up 25° and 30°, depending on which direction it’s mounted. The customised polished black base with blue chamfered accents goes great with your stock plastic parts or after market blue parts. At the rear there is the 7075 alloy rear ball stud mount and alloy wing mounts which are extra durable, but machined to be lightweight (10gr total) and use the stock wing spacer and hardware to mount your wing. For the transmission of the car there is a new lightweight polished titanium slipper bolt that is almost half the weight of the stock bolt at 2.2 grams. This titanium bolt lightens your rotating mass and lowers your CG and is a direct fit on the stock laydown top shaft and slipper and uses the stock slipper pin and hardware.
