RDRP B5RM/MM aluminium bellcrank set

RDRP B5RM/MM aluminium bellcrank set

Made to replace the standard plastic steering bellcranks of Team Associated’s B5 series vehicles is the RDRP B5RM/MM aluminium bellcrank set. The parts do away with the kit’s plastic steering bellcranks in favour of stronger levers for added rigidity and better looks. The CNC-machined 7075-T6 aluminium construction considerably strengthens the steering assembly for less slop, a more precise steering reaction and less flex, resulting in a rock solid steering feeling and more durability in the event of a crash. The RDRP B5RM/MM bellcrank aluminium set is made for the use with fifth generation kits and it comes blue anodised and laser-etched to match the remainder of RDRP’s Team Associated option parts.

STRC Slash 4x4 LCG chassis back with some improvements

ST Racing Concepts’ popular LCG chassis conversion for the Traxxas Slash 4×4 short course truck is back with quite a few performance oriented revisions. A narrower CNC-machined 4mm aluminium chassis that is now 4mm narrower than previous makes for more agility during left/right cornering weight transfer while also being 30 grams lighter for a more nimble handling. The chassis now also has more clearance around rear A-arm sway bar mounting link. Included in the conversion is also a revised battery strap for easier battery removal while a redesigned rear suspension block improves durability. The conversion also comes with numerous other parts such as an alloy HD front bulkhead, alloy motor mount, carbon fibre upper deck and more and it is available in black or blue anodising.
