RDRP B6.2 -1° D suspension block

RDRP presents their new -1° D suspension block for the Associated B6.2 2WD buggy. With this item, it is possible to either reduce rear toe-in for less rolling resistance and more corner speed on high-bite surfaces such as carpet and Astroturf, or to run your rear arms in a narrower position for more roll on slippery tracks. Machined from durable aluminium and black anodised, it has chamfered and polished edges for looks and of course is compatible with the full range of Team Associated B6.2 pill inserts.

Factory Team 2mm thickness V2 shock pistons

Factory Team have introduced a new tuning option for off-road 12mm shocks. The new 2mm thickness V2 shock pistons decrease damping and pack compared to their standard 2.5mm thickness kit counterparts. Keeping the same 2-hole valving, the shorter thickness piston allows for faster fluid flow, and less pack while the shock takes fast impacts from jumps and bumps. This results in a small shift, giving the car more traction and less pack, which racers can tune for an advantage in a wide range of conditions.
