RPM XL-5 & XL-10 speed controller cages

RPM have introduced an ESC cage for the Traxxas XL-5 and XL-10 speed controllers. The design eliminates the use of the two undersized mounting tabs on the ESC in favour of a complete cage system that solidly locks the speedo in place. By completely surrounding and capturing the controller’s case, damage from broken tabs and ejection from the vehicle has been completely eliminated. The works even if one or both mounting tabs have already been broken or cut off and the cage is made of black or blue colour engineering grade nylons.

RDRP RC8B3 titanium shock mounts

Made for Team Associated’s 3rd generation 1/8th off-road vehicles are the new RDRP titanium shock mounts. Machined from high-quality titanium material for the lowest possible weight while keeping exceptional structural rigidity, the parts were designed to do away with the original steel mount and screw in place for a 1-piece solution that scrubs about 1g of weight per piece. On top of this the design also allows for easier shock angle changes as there is only a single nut to undo in order to slide the mounts out of the shock tower. All needed mounting hardware is included and the titanium shock mounts are compatible with the RC8B, RC8B3e, RC8T3 and RC8T3e.
