Avid 1/8th titanium lower shock screws

Avid introduce these titanium lower shock screws for 1/8th off-road vehicles like the ones from Mugen, Xray, Agama, or Tekno. The screw set offers two left and two right hand threaded screws with a 5.5mm socket head which makes taking the shocks off a breeze. A centre-drilled hole for easy docking of callipers while measuring shock lengths is also incorporated. The special design of the screws makes sure the fasteners do not come loose in long mains as they are constantly fastened by the up and down travel of the arm and the shock’s ball cup.

Xray XB4 shock tower reinforcement parts

XrayXB4ShockTowerProtector-3

New from Xray come two shock tower reinforcement parts for the XB4 buggy. First up is the rear shock tower protector that is designed to save the upper part of the shock stay from becoming damaged in upside down landings. The part not only protects the carbon layers from de-laminating but also minimises the chances of cracking the shock mounting holes. The second new part is the roll centre brace that protects the inner camber rod mounting positions during hard impacts. Both parts are available separately and are made from high quality hardened steel.

Tamiya TT-02 & M-05 kit news

Last week we reported about exciting future Tamiya kit released but lacked proper photographs and now Tamiya Japan have released first images of some of the upcoming kits. First up is the Zakspeed Ford Capri Turbo Würth, a replica of the 1980’s Group 5 monster that dominated the German Sportscar Championship, the series that later became the famous DTM. The car builds on the entry-level TT-02 4WD shaft-driven tub chassis and not only features a nicely made Ford Capri Turbo body but also wide off-set multi-spoke rims to up the track width. Included with the kit comes a complete Würth design sticker sheet to mimic the car that ran the 1981 campaign.

JConcepts 1/10th AE ball-cup assortment

JConceptsAEBallCups

JConcepts introduce their new ball-cup assortment for Team Associated 1/10th off-road vehicles. They are of a heavy-duty design and come as wedged and rib type. The wedge ball-cup has an increased diameter around the turnbuckle which naturally provides a beefy cushion between metal and plastic plus the cups feature a longer boss which slides over the solid shank of the turnbuckle increasing the overall strength of the connection. Included is an angled version of the wedge which can be used on the outside of the rear camber link for increased clearance on the rear wheel and also to the inside which increases clearance around big bore shock springs. The rib ball-cup is a more traditional design but incorporates 3 ribs across the weakest point resisting bends and tweaks normally associated with hard crashes. A short, rib ball-cup is also included for servo to steering bell-crank connection. Both the wedge and rib ball-cups include an open top which allows for ball-end accessibility for quick and damage free adjustments and they come as 36-piece sets.
