Associated 1:18 Scale RTR Short Course Truck

Team Associated has released the SC18, a true scale 1:18 scale Ready-To-Run electric 4WD off-road short course race truck. The SC18 features a newly designed chassis with a fully enclosed, 2-belt drivetrain system that is capable of handling the extreme amount of power that today’s brushless motors and LiPo batteries can dish out. Along with durability, the drive train is sealed to help keep rocks and dirt away from the gears and pulleys. The SC18 comes fully assembled with a painted and decaled short course racetruck body, AMT™ Forged style wheels, aggressive tread multi-terrain tires, all designed to look just like the full-size race trucks that run in short-course off-road series around the country, and a totally new XP3-SS 2.4 GHz 3-Channel radio system.

Steven Hartson snapped up by Team Associated

Team Associated have announced the signing of young California native Steven Hartson. Steven will race the full line of Associated, Reedy and LRP products including the Reedy 121 VR engine and the LRP 1:8 SPX8 system and like many on the AE team will use Sidewinder fuel combined with JConcepts tires and accessories. Hartson brings the out-right speed comparable to the top electric racers in the world, but as of yet has not had the opportunities to showcase his talents in the 1:8 scene. With multiple A-Main finishes in 1:10 National Championships and major International events, Hartson looks to transfer these results to the ultra- competitive U.S. 1:8 scale scene. Local to Southern California, he’s sure to get his feet wet fast with weekly competitors such as teammate Ryan Cavalieri, Cody King, Adam Drake, Mike Truhe, Ryan Lutz and so on. Hartson’s first race with his Reedy powered RC8B and RC8e will come in two weeks at the Toys for Tots event at Thunder Alley Raceway in Beaumont, CA.

Factory Team Blue Aluminum screw sets

New from the Factory Team are these blue aluminium screw kits that reduce weight for better acceleration and handling, while the blue anodizing adds high-tech bling. Even cars already at the minimum weight can benefit. A lightweight car allows ballast to be placed in the optimum position for different track conditions and equal left-to-right weight distribution. Available for Team Associated 12R5/12R5.1, 10R5, and 10R5 Oval, these complete sets of 65, 66, and 78 screws replace the heavy stock steel screws and can be fitted to any vehicle that uses metric hardware.

Factory Team Machined Delrin Tapered Shock pistons

Designed to fit perfectly in Team Associated’s 16mm big bore shocks, these Factory Team precision-machined tapered Delrin pistons have been extensively track tested and race proven by AE’s racing team over the course of the 2009 season. These pistons, packaged in sets of four, are perfectly suited for use in the RC8B and RC8e thanks to the more progressive damping characteristics provided by the 10×1.1mm-hole pattern. Additionally the tapered profile improves rebound damping to optimize handling in all conditions.
