STRC Team Associated B5 series option parts

STRC Team Associated B5 series option parts

STRC introduce the first in a line of option parts for the Team Associated B5 and B5M. First up is a 25 degree front aluminium bulkhead. The bulkhead increases the durability of the front end of the buggy while adding a bit of weight to the front of the buggy to help assist in tuning for more steering out of your buggy. The set-screw over hinge-pin design provides long life for the aluminium parts as the hinge-pin will not wear down the bulkhead over time.

RSD TC6.2 RSD7 carbon fibre chassis

RSD TC6.2 RSD7 carbon fibre chassis

Available now from Reflex Racing is the RSD7 carbon fibre chassis for the Team Associated TC6.2 touring car. The shape of the chassis has been engineered so that the car can roll and pitch more naturally, increasing the traction and the steering of the TC6.2, which translates into more corner speed and stability. This is further assisted by the reduced width of only 85mm that has been chosen to promote more roll in the corners as well as allow to run a lower ride height when necessary. On top of that the battery position is pushed further back to increase corner entry steering. Other features include mounting holes for an optional and soon available motor mount and drilled holes underneath the front bellcranks allow easy access to the inverted bellcrank screws. Optional keyed-in carbon fibre battery holders are available separately.

Exotek SRX2 direct spur mount

Exotek SRX2 direct spur mount

Exotek Racing introduce this direct spur mount for Serpent’s SRX2 series of buggies. Designed for the use in stock motor classes and oval racing, the spur mount eliminates the slipper assembly in order to make for a lighter drivetrain which improves acceleration and lowers the running temperatures of the motor. The hub assembly weights in at only 5.8g, which is almost the half of the stock slipper assembly and the design allows for easy switching between the gear hub an the stock slipper assembly when conditions call for it.
