Tamiya TRF Big Bore Dampers+ shock absorber set

Following their new set of Big Bore shock absorbers for M-chassis cars, Tamiya also release a set dedicated to their 1/10th scale touring car range. The shock absorbers feature a ten percent larger oil capacity compared to the standard TRF shocks, resulting in improved traction especially in lower grip or bumpy track conditions. An anti-friction coating makes for smooth shock action as do titanium-nitride-coated shock shafts. Included with the shock absorbers comes an arrangement of accessories such as aluminium and plastic spring retainers, different size upper and lower shock mount ball cups as well as machined shock pistons and a set of springs. The shocks are usable for chassis such as the FF-03 and FF-04 FWD cars, the TA05 to TA07 belt-driven chassis, the TB-03 and TB05 shaft-drive kits, the TT-02 and TT-01 as well as the XV01 kits.

RDRP T6.1 & SC6.1 heavy-duty carbon fibre shock towers

Revolution Design Racing Products have introduced new heavy-duty carbon fibre front and rear shock towers for the Team Associated T6.1 Stadium and SC6.1 Short Course Truck. They match the standard kit geometry but are of a reinforced heavy duty design for improved durability and stability, greatly reducing breaking issues and increasing suspension efficiency. Different from the standard parts the RDRP HD shock towers are machined from extra thick 6mm carbon fibre, compared to the standard 4mm part, which further reduces flexing and tweaking under load, making the tower especially useful when running in high-traction or very bumpy track conditions as they improves overall traction. As they match the stock dimensions the towers are a direct replacement with no setup changes needed when swapping parts over.
