TMG Speed have introduced their new carbon fibre front shock tower for the Team Associated B64 series buggies. Of an updated geometry the shock stay lowers the top shock position by 2mm, which results in more droop and thus a better feel over bumps and jumps. The item is cut from high-quality carbon fibre and available now.

RC Cars Cavalieri from Germany has introduced new carbon fibre option parts for the Team Associated RC8B3.1 buggy in the form of a LiPo box and an air filter guard. The LiPo box is a direct replacement for the standard composite battery mount, offering improved protection from dust, stones and moisture. The box bolts into place using the original mounting positions and it is available now. Also new is a carbon fibre air filter guard that attaches to the RC8B3.1’s fuel tank, ensuring improved protection from spilled fuel or the fuel bottle’s nozzle.
Coming from T-Works and made for the Team Associated RC8B3.1 is a brass front upright adjustment nut set with POM spacers. Replacing the original kit parts with these brass items will increase unsprung weight, which can help traction and drivability in certain track conditions. The set includes four black-coated brass nuts and four POM inserts and it is available now.

Coming from 7075.it are four aluminium chassis and combo sets for touring cars such as the Awesomatix A800, Infinity IF14, Team Associated TC7.2 and Xray T4’19. All chassis are machined from high-quality 7075 aluminium and they feature a flex design for optimised torsional flex while pockets along the centre line allow the mounting of dedicated brass centre weights in order to fine-tune overall weight and weight bias. The low-profile weights protrude from the chassis by only 3mm, compared to the previous 6mm, ensuring a lower overall centre of gravity and thus faster cornering in high-grip track conditions. Weights available for now include 8g front weights, a 25g low-profile centre weight and a tall 50g centre variant. The keyed weights are mounted using a single screw and are easy to add and remove, with the A800 chassis also allowing to use the 8g front weights as additional centre variants. The chassis come black anodised for wear and looks and they are available separately or including a brass weight set.
The latest addition to Pro-Line’s Bash Armor line of white pre-cut body shells is the Flo-Tek short course body. Usable with vehicles such as the Slash 2wd, Slash 4×4, SC5M, 22SCT, and TEN-SCTE/2.0, the body featuring Pro-Line’s all-new Bash Armor material that is twice as thick as regular bodies and is ultra-flexible to reduce the chance of cracking and shattering. Unlike clear polycarbonate, the Bash Armor material is white and is not paintable, so Pro-Line includes detailed decal sheets to complete the look.
Coming from Team Associated are the new Factory Team 16mm tapered shock pistons for the RC8B3.1 and RC8T3.1 series of buggies and trucks. The tapered profile and angled holes of these new shock pistons improve handling through bumps and make the car jump flatter and land better. The angled holes also allow to run lower oil weights to generate more grip. They are precision CNC-machined for the best fitment and concentricity with the shock body to improve performance and consistency. The hole diameter os engraved onto piston for easy identification and there are two diameters to choose from: 1.2mm and 1.3mm. The pistons fit the Fits 16mm shock bodies on the RC8B3.1, RC8B3.1e, RC8T3.1, and RC8T3.1e.
