Team Associated Kashima-coated V2 Fox shocks

New from Team Associated come the Factory Team V2 Fox shock bodies with genuine Kashima coat. The shocks have the same attributes as the shock coat found on the buttery-smooth Fox Factory Series forks and shocks, providing extended life and silky-smooth shock action. The shock shafts use a screw to secure the piston and there are two coatings to choose from: TiN shafts for the longest life and Factory Team chrome shafts for the smoothest action. The pistons come machined for a precision fit and finish and their edges have large radiuses for the smoothest shock action. Also available are blanks for customising own piston hole combinations. The shock accessories are available in a range of different sizes to fit Team Associated’s 1/10 scale 2WD and 4WD electric buggies, as well as 1/10 scale 2WD electric trucks and short course vehicles.

Avid D413 12mm aluminium hex set

Coming from Avid and made for the HB D413 1/10th 4WD buggy is a 12mm aluminium hex set. Offering an innovative pin retaining system to hold the front drive pins in place the conversion does away with the annoying “pin dropping out to never be found again” the original front hexes sport. The front hexes are machined in a way to utilise an internal O-ring that holds the pin in place once the wheels are off. For the rear adapters the proven clamping system is used utilising a stainless steel 2-56 clamp screw. The chamfered edges of the 6061-T6 alloy parts make for easy wheel installation and each package includes a pair of 12mm hex front and a pair of 12mm hex rear adapters, three front O-rings, two 2-56 clamping screws, O-ring install instructions, and an Avid mini decal sheet.

JConcepts Reflex 1/5th scale tyre

Following the introduction of the Chasers large scale off-road tyre, JConcepts now also announce the release of the Reflex tread. The yellow compound tyre has square angled pins that are stacked vertically to flex and fold evenly across the tyre. Typically a stacked tread will wear less and provide more forward bite while the aligned space helps rotation in the turns and gives a snappy release to square up quickly. Easily one of the smaller pin tyres available for 1/5th off-road, the Reflex is a beefed up version of its 1/8th scale sibling scaled up in size to withstand heavy abuse but just nimble enough to offer optimised response. To make them interchangeable, the tyre beads and inner carcass have been designed to use the stock Losi 5ive insert and fit directly to the already established bead-lock wheel. The inner tabs built into the carcass interlock with the Losi bead-lock style wheels for security.

RSD RX4-15 aluminium chassis & servo mount bracket

Reflex Racing have introduced two new option parts for the Xray T4’15 in the form of the RX4-15 aluminium chassis and a carbon fibre servo mount bracket. Starting with the chassis, it is made out of machined 7075-T6 aluminium and it comes anodised a light shade of gray with silver chamfered edges to give the chassis a high-quality finish and premium look with the textured finish looks similar to a diamond dremel cut off wheel finish. The shape profiles for the RX4 -15 have been developed over the past year with a focus to provide your car a more consistent feel and less tyre overheating over a run. The design takes flex away from the bulkheads and moves it towards the centre of the car which results in a more stable car that is easier to drive at high speed.
