Associated have released a number of new parts for the RC8 line of vehicles. First up are these lightweight drive train parts which have been machined to reduce weight to help the performance of the car. The parts getting this treatment are the diff ring gear and the 44T spur gear. Also new are these precision-machined, tapered Delrin pistons for the 16mm Big Bore shocks. The team set out to improve over the 10 x 1.1 piston setup with damping characteristics that also excelled when the track got bumpy. Extensive testing showed that by drilling out 5 of the 10 holes larger, the damping provided the best of both worlds. The larger 1.2mm or 1.3mm allow for better low speed damping over bumps, while still keeping the great smooth track handling characteristics of the smaller 1.1 hole setups.
Stay warm and dry and look good too, in Team Associated’s all-new winter jacket. It features a zip-up front with Velcro storm flap, zip-off hood and drop-tail hem with drawcord and toggle for adjustability. Embroidered Associated logos on the front left chest and large across the shoulders.
8-racing now offers some carbon fibre option parts for the Durango DEX210 and Associated B4. The new carbon fibre shock towers and battery strap for DEX210 are stronger then the plastic versions and perfect for indoor racing. The carbon fibre chassis for DEX210 with front kick up is lighter than the original alloy one and brings more flex to buggy which is especially good for use on low traction tracks. Also new are some front and rear carbon fibre shock towers for the Associated B4 with blue anodized alloy holders, adjustable holders for 23,5mm and 25mm battery height and all screws you need to mount it.
Used by Juho Levanen to claim the runner up spot at last weekend’s ATS race in Japan, the RC10TC6.1 Factory Team kit is the next evolutionary step in touring car design from Team Associated. Building on the successfully proven TC6, the designers behind the doors of Area 51 added even more features, making the TC6.1 easier to tune and drive. The narrow chassis has been designed around current brushless motor systems and LiPo batteries, optimizing weight distribution for superior handling. To further enhance handling performance, there is updated suspension arms for increased stiffness and strength. These new suspension arms feature finer shock adjustments to help get the TC6.1 totally dialed in.
