Team Associated RC12R6 Factory Team 1/12th scale kit

Team Associated have introduced their next generation 1/12th scale pan car chassis, the RC12R6 Factory Team Kit. Designed for today’s demanding top-level racing, speed and traction, the design focusses on factors such as a low centre of mass, chassis rigidity, and a precise build.

Includes are also a centre Fox shock genuine Kashima coat, a raised front bumper for extra ground clearance on the front of the chassis as well as a floating servo mount for equal flex of the chassis. Lastly the battery stops allow to mount the battery in three different transverse positions to fine-tune mass balance.

RDRP B64 carbon fibre shock towers

Revolution Design Racing Products have introduced new carbon fibre shock towers for the Team Associated B64 series of 1/10th scale 4WD buggies. First up is the front shock stay that utilises the standard kit geometry but sports an updated design for improved looks and greater durability, making it especially useful on those demanding dirt and astro turf tracks. The rear shock tower, just like the front part, is cut to match the standard kit geometry and it sports an updated design for improved looks and greater durability, but on top of this an additional lower row of rear camber link mounting holes allows for an optimised rear roll centre which can be beneficial in a variety of track conditions. Both the front and rear shock stays are cut from high-quality carbon fibre, they are available separately and fit the B64 and B64D buggies.
