T-Works B64 steel chassis protector plates

Coming from T-Works and made for Team Associated’s now ageing B64 series 4WD buggies are front and rear stainless steel chassis skid protectors. Available separately for the front and the rear of the chassis, the plates are made of high quality material and they were designed to protect the chassis from becoming overly scratched or damaged when running on abrasive surfaces or on track with big jumps. The plates come in pairs and they directly bolt to the chassis using the stock hardware.

Darkside Designs B6.1 carbon fibre optionals

Darkside Designs have introduced new carbon fibre option parts for the Team Associated B6.1 buggy in the form of a B6.1D +2mm front shock tower, a rear body support and a slipper and tie-rod wrench. Starting with the front shock tower, the part is of a +2mm design for the use with the AE91617 shock shafts or 2mm unscrewed eyelets. In addition to allowing for an increased shock length the shock stay also offers in-between shock mount holes. Also new and usable for all B6.1 variants is a carbon fibre rear body support. It helps keeping the rear of the body in position by allowing the lid to rest on the support plate. The item will be attached to the rear shock tower and it is cut from high-quality carbon fibre. Last but not least comes the slipper and tie-rod wrench for all AE 6.1 series vehicles. The tool allows for easy camber link and slipper clutch adjustment.

Element RC Enduro Sendero RTR trail truck

Associated Electrics have introduced their all-new Enduro Sendero RTR trail truck, the first vehicle out of their new Element RC line of high-quality ready-to-run vehicles. At the heart of the Enduro is Element RC’s revolutionary Stealth X gearbox. Although the exterior appears to have a conventional 3-gear transmission look, the inside is far from conventional. The transmission features the ability to adjust the rear drive ratio independently from the front drive across three levels: stock overdrives the front end 5.7%, option 1 provides a one-to-one drive ratio front-to-rear, and option 2 overdrives the front end 11.83%. Feeding the power to the tires are 3-piece telescopic driveshafts with an extruded aluminum center section, universal front drive axles, and hardened steel ring and pinion gears. With the Enduro drivetrain, delivering useful power will not be an issue.

Team Associated RC8B3.1 FT tall rear shock tower

Coming from Team Associated and made for the RC8B3.1 1/8th scale buggies is the Factory Team tall rear carbon fibre shock tower. By raising the top shock mounting positions, a taller tower geometry was created that increases up-travel. Up-travel is how much further the shock can travel upwards in its stroke after the chassis has bottomed out with the ground. Increasing up-travel lets the tyre absorb more impact and improves handling in bumps and high-speed cornering. With the new geometry up-travel is optimised for both low and high axle positions and the tower is usable for the RC8B3.1 nitro and RC8B3.1e electric kits.
