Team Bomber lightweight 2mm offset spring retainer

From Team Bomber for the TB-AK12 series is this lightweight spring retainer with 2mm offset. With a standard spring retainer, if you extend the length of the pitching damper and increase the rebound stroke, the spring tension is stronger and it is impossible to reduce the height of the chassis centre part. However, installing this lightweight spring retainer with the 2mm offset increases the range of the spring tension adjustment, so it is possible to achieve the ideal height of the car without changing the type of spring.

Team Bomber pink & brown S-line side springs

Team Bomber have added two additions to their line up of HQ S-line side springs with the release of new pink and brown versions. The pink version is now the hardest spring in this range, with the brown the softest. HQ side springs are best suited for a wide range of popular carpets, high-grip road surfaces and conditions where a solid diff is used. The result of a close cooperation with a Japanese spring manufacturer with testing and technical capabilities they found that the taper of the springs helps reduce on power traction loss during cornering when using a differential. Made with high quality materials, the number of winds of each spring and all their dimensions have been carefully checked to ensure consistency and the best end product.

Team Bomber AK12 HQ ball diff

This HQ ball diff from Team Bomber is for their AK12 1/12th scale chassis and is specific to low traction asphalt. Replacing the kit standard solid shaft, it helps to give the car more stability even in unstable traction, keeping the rear of the car planted in the corners as well as under hard acceleration.

Team Bomber AK12 castor block support

From Team Bomber for their AK12 chassis are these carbon castor block supports. The new part improves the twist stiffness of the block body by just installing it on the genuine caster block mount, which improves the accuracy and response of the handling on high traction surfaces. A very effective item for the setting of handling characteristics for various track conditions and layouts.

Team Bomber introduce first TB-AK12 optionals

This week Team Bomber officially unveiled their all-new TB-AK12 1/12th scale pan car kit and now the Japanese brand also comes up with first optionals. First up are titanium-nitride-coated front suspension king pins whose surface coating reduces friction and wear for even smoother suspension action. Also coming is a titanium-nitride-coated centre shock shaft with the low-friction surface ensuring smoother suspension action. Also in the suspension department is a front suspension mounting plate that was designed to connect the left and right hand front bulkheads which results in a more responsive handling especially in high-bite track conditions. Next up is a short side link set that will improve handling on very tight tracks and last but not least there is a set of 2.5x8mm aluminium rear wheel screws that reduce rotational masses and overall weight with comes in handy especially when running in stock motor classes.
