Exotek have announced the release of new option parts for the Team Associated DR10 drag racing car in the form of a carbon fibre wheelie bar and a slipper eliminator direct spur gear mount. Starting with the extra long carbon fibre wheelie bar, the longer bar gives the driver more stability than the short stock wheelie bar, for straighter and faster passes without needing to let off the throttle as often. The assembly is adjustable at the base, using the stock DR10 adjustments, but it is also possible to make finer adjustments on the bar itself so that the driver can tune in the absolute perfect bar height. The wheelie bar is constructed of heavy duty 3mm carbon fiber with alloy support posts.
NathoBuilds have introduced two new 3-D-printed accessories for the Team Associated B6 series of vehicles in the form of an electronics plate and a rear body saver.

As for the body saver, the part fits the B6 to B6.2 vehicle and ensures longer lasting and more stable rear body mounting. Both the electronics plate and body saver are made from high-quality 3D PLA+ material and they are available in multiple colours.
Coming from T-Works and made for the Team Associated RC8B3.2 is a carbon fibre centre gearbox plate.

T-Works have introduced their new connector style on/off switch set for the Team Associated RC8B3.2 buggy. The set includes a machined carbon fibre receiver box cover that incorporates a sturdy XT-style connector that acts as an on/off switch using the included jumper plug. The whole assembly does away with the need for a standard mechanical switch in favour of a more robust solution that is less sensitive to dust, dirt and moisture. The kit is a drop-in solution and it includes pre-wired standard universal-type receiver and battery connectors.
Coming from JConcepts and made for Team Associated’s 6th generation buggies and trucks is a 15.5mm aluminium servo arm. One of the critical points of racing comes from the steering servo and proper servo horn. The horn transfers all the torque from the servo to the steering bell cranks and this piece needs to be created with precision and durability. The JConcepts servo horn created for both 23T and 25T count has all the geometry necessary as a direct bolt-on for the B6, T6 and SC6 generation of vehicles. The broad base of the horn tapers to the connection area where the steering takes place. The heavy-duty boss on top protects the ball-end and provides a hefty surface for steering direction. Small ribs have been added on the sides to help strengthen the unit in a twisting fashion and a deep pocket hides the 3mm standard mounting screw. The entire horn has been retouched with chamfer highlight edging and laser etched with JC and the tooth count for high-end looks and authenticity.
