Team Bomber TB-AK12 S-line side springs

Team Bomber have produced this new range of S-line springs for their TB-AK12 1/12th scale pan car. These 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. Available in two versions, blue (soft) and white (hard).

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.
