The C8 fits any 1:12 pan car or GT12 specific chassis and is formed from high-quality lightweight polycarbonate with paint-then-peel overspray film.

JConcepts B6.2 steel front bulkhead

New for the Associated B6.2 comes this steel front bulkhead from JConcepts. A weighty item that is routinely punished is the front-bulkhead on the B6 line of vehicles. While brass material produces a lot of weight it tends to be a little soft as racers bump and grind pipes, jumps and obstacles during a normal outing. With encouragement from Paul Wynn, JConcepts has designed the all-steel front bulkhead to help maintain weight but also significantly improve durability. The steel design helps outlast the brass counterparts and packs the same reversible design for either 25 or 30 degrees of kick-up. The bulkhead has a marked weight (28 grams) and includes the 4 standard countersunk screw pockets and 3mm setscrew offering to pin the hinge pins into place.

TLR 22X-4 servo mount set V2

In an effort to give more clearance for servos of all makes and offsets in the 22X-4, Team Losi Racing has released the 22X-4 servo mount set V2.  This mount set moves the aluminium mounting faces back by 3mm and includes spacers to allow a proper fit for any model of surface servo.  This gives more room for the servo horn to the mud guard and body so there will be no interference during steering travel.
