1up Racing TC7.2 DTCv2 conversion kit

Coming from 1up Racing is the Dynamic Toe Control DTCv2 conversion kit for the Team Associated TC7.2 touring car. Based on the back-to-back ROAR National Championships winning design the v2 variant offers a stronger, lighter and more versatile design with the knuckles, hubs, and turnbuckles are all precision machined from aircraft grade 7075-T6 alloy. The knuckle is suspended between two ball bearings for the smoothest movement possible while the outer camber link ball stud threads directly into the hub ensuring there is no bind as the knuckle goes through the dynamic movement. 2.5mm thick carbon fibre arms extend forward from the knuckles. Black anodised aluminium locknuts and shims are included standard. Hardened steel is used for the inner and outer ball studs. The conversion uses 100 percent genuine 1up Racing parts and adds 28 percent less weight than the original for an ultra low CG design with the weight moved towards the centre of the car. In addition the new hub offers axle height adjustment, using a low position for increased stability on high grip tracks, or a raised knuckle for increased off-power steering on low grip tracks. The DTCv2 hubs mount to the stock rear arms with standard hardware. Switching back and forth between the stock rear hub and the DTCv2 hub assembly is quick and easy. The conversion can be paired with 1up Racing’s forthcoming TC7.2 +1.5• and +2• pivot blocks for even more tuning options. These will allow to run a straight inner rear hinge pin without making the car too narrow. The conversion comes completely assembled and required four ball cups for installation.
