Factory Team Titanium nitride coated ball studs

Team Associated have introduced a range of titanium nitride coated ball studs to its Factory Team line of high performance accessories. Used primarily on shock shafts, titanium nitride coating reduces friction while increasing durability. When used on ball studs, suspension components move more freely which in both on-road and off-road applications means more consistent handling and reduced maintenance. Packaged in pairs in metric and standard sizes with long or short necks for use on Team Associated on-road and off-road vehicles.

We have yet to see the final design of the car but judging by the photos of the first parts to come of the (pre)production line that are destined for this new car, it would be safe to assume that this will be a high quality buggy just like its little brother the DEX410.

Xray Column – Decade of Triumph

The 38th installment in the Xray column from Xray owner and chief designer Juraj Hudy is now online. In this months column, Juraj reflects on a decade of the Xray brand, going through each element of the company and it has changed since 1999 and what they can expect in the future.

Over the past decade we went through plenty of very happy moments, but we have also faced our share of troubles, tough times, difficult decisions, and challenging moments. To put all those memories down on paper would be enough to fill a novel the size of War and Peace. I realize that to summarize them in one column is impossible, so I will try to share the highlights of the different areas and how I have seen how they have changed over the years and what I think will be the future.

Read the full column here.
