Vigor TC7.2 CF 3mm shock towers & centre link

Coming from Vigor and made for the Team Associated TC7.2 touring car are 3mm carbon fibre shock towers and a carbon fibre centre link. Starting with the shock stays, the parts are machined from high-quality carbon fibre and at 3mm they are 1mm thinner than the original parts, providing increased steering and rear traction in lower grip track conditions. The shock towers are available as separate front and rear variants. Also new is a carbon fibre centre link to connect the floating servo mount and motor mount. Using the part allows to fine-tune the chassis tweak to suit different track conditions from medium to high-bite.

Team Associated CR12 Toyota FJ45 Pick-up RTR

Team Associated have added a new body shell variant to their CR12 Trail Series in the form of the Toyota FJ45 Pick-up RTR. This rig comes ready-to-run with Reedy Power electronics and meets S.O.R.R.C.A. class 1 and 2 rules right out of the box. Designed not only for scale looks with realistic wheels, tires and 1977 Toyota FJ45 Pick-up body, the CR12 is built for performance as well. The steel ladder frame chassis provides the perfect backbone for this rugged little rig. The 4-link suspension, threaded shocks, and soft rubber tyres give the grip and performance needed to climb over the roughest terrain. Transferring power to the rocks is a compact 3-gear transmission, plastic low-friction slider-type drive shafts, front steel CVA axles, and metal shield ball bearings throughout.

Exotek AE 6 series alloy rear hubs & wing mounts

Exotek have released two new aluminium option parts for the Team Associated 6 series of kits in the form of 2-tone rear hubs and a buggy wing mount set. Starting with the rear hubs, the stealthy 2-colour anodised alloy rear uprights fit the B64, T6.1 and SC6.1. The customised polished black base with blue chamfered accents goes great with stock plastic parts or after market blue parts and through careful cutting and shaping the hubs are actually 2g lighter than the alloy Team Associated counterparts. The set includes 2mm roll centre alloy spacers to match the stock geometry of the AE alloy hubs and Exotek’s updated design works as either the left or right hub, giving racers more camber link hole options.

Factory RC AE 6 series battery retention system

Coming from Factory RC is a new battery retention system for the Team Associated 6 series of off-road kits, such as the B6.1, T6.1 and SC6.1. The system utilises 3mm black or blue weave carbon fibre along with a colour matched aluminium spacer and stock hardware for a secure and highly adjustable retaining system. The system allows for battery float to allow the chassis to work independently which can provide better grip, less chassis “snap”, and a better overall driving vehicle. The battery hold down system is available now in both traditional black weave carbon fibre, and our blue weave carbon fibre material.
