Team Associated RC8B3.1 & T3.1 FT arm stiffeners

Team Associated’s new Factory Team graphite arm stiffeners are designed to increase the rigidity of the RC8B3.1 and T3.1 suspension arms for improved consistency and stability, especially in warm climates. The rear stiffener plates increase rigidity around the outer hinge pin, a critical area when improving the overall effectiveness of an arm stiffener. Available are five different sets, including RC8B3 series front upper, front lower and rear stiffeners as well as RC8T3 series front lower and rear lower stiffeners. The buggy-specific items are machined from 1.0mm material while the truck parts are made of thicker 1.5mm material. All include mounting hardware, a 1.6mm pilot hole drill bit and an instruction sheet.

Losi Baja Rey & Rock Rey RTR BND trucks

Losi have announced the soon release of their new Baja Rey and Rock Rey 4WD 1/10th scale BND kits. The proven Baja Rey desert truck is built on one of the most advanced chassis ever conceived for a ready-to-run vehicle. It comes equipped with a Dynamite 3800Kv brushless power system, as well as a long-travel suspension, so owners can tear across all types of terrain at speeds of 70km/h or more. The chassis design blends scale realism with functional 4WD capabilities. The foundation consists of a 3mm, anodised aluminium chassis plate that is integrated with a realistic roll cage made of super-tough composite material. To this it adds a long-travel, independent front suspension and 4-link live rear axle that look and function exactly like their full-scale counterparts. The single-speed transmission, as well as the front and centre diffs, are sealed against the elements and engineered to handle the abuse of a high-output brushless motor and punishing terrain. Mod 1 gears further increase the durability of this desert beast. The long-travel shocks soak up the energy from big bumps and jumps. They also feature threaded shock bodies with adjustment collars so owners can fine tune the pre-load settings of the coil-over springs. External bump stops provide plush landings on the hardest surfaces. The Rock Rey builds on the same chassis technology but comes with a rock racer body shell and larger 2.2” x 5.8″ wheels and tyres. Both vehicles come factory-assembled and including a Spectrum SRS6000 receiver with Active Vehicle Control, meaning owners can use an existing or choose a new Spektrum DSMR transmitter to get the trucks going in no time.

Tamiya TT-02B First Try Neo Scorcher kit

Tamiya USA have introduced the TT-02B First Try 1/10th scale 4WD buggy with Neo Scorcher body shell. The kit is based on the TT-02B chassis off-road assembly model and is intended for absolute beginners. It provides an informative and a rewarding process of building a Tamiya chassis, but with some of the trickier sections pre-assembled. The TT-02B is a highly adaptable and beginner-friendly chassis itself, with 4-wheel double wishbone suspension and shaft-driven 4WD giving great performance on- and off-road. The TT-02B uses the TT-02 as its base, adding longer suspension arms, CVA shock units, and buggy bumpers to give it great off-road performance. Of course, it retains the TT-02’s excellent drivability and ease of assembly and maintenance, while motor cooling ducts and receiver case add to the model’s durability. The included, pre-assembled components include lower deck and gearboxes, motor and mount, front bumper and lower arms, front upper arms, uprights, rear upper arms, dampers, motor cover, wheels and tyres. The kit will hit stores at the beginning of December.

Exotek TRF103 upper arm set & bearing adapter

Coming from Exotek and made for the Tamiya TRF103 formula kit are and adjustable upper arm set and metric to 1/4” axle adapter set. Starting with the upper arm set, the new multi-adjustable and heavy duty CNC-machined arms allow to make quick and precise camber and caster adjustments on the fly and even without taking off the body shell. The arm set is precision machined for the smoothest arm movement and offers incrementally more adjustment abilities than the stock arms and also there will be six less stock O-rings to possibly lose and fall apart. The set includes two 7075 alloy caster adjusters, two smooth action machined delrin camber adjusters, two alloy swivel balls for upper nylon arms, four 3mm roll centre spacers, four alloy 4.8mm pivot balls, four hardened steel 3mm turnbuckles and hardware as well as four heavy duty nylon ball cups.

Tamiya Toyota Hilux CC-01 truck kit

Tamiya have introduced their new Toyota Hilux CC-01 truck kit. The truck depicts the 8th generation of the Hilux vehicle, released back in 2015, specifically a special full-size version of the Extra Cab which Toyota’s British division had made in the colours of Tamiya’s legendary Bruiser as a tribute to their model. It also appeared in some high-profile PR activities in Great Britain. The CC-01 chassis’ ground-hugging, long-stroke suspension system consists of front double wishbone and rear 4-link rigid setups and is equipped with four oil dampers. The highly reliable and efficient full-time 4WD system features a front-mounted motor, which transmits power to the front wheels via the gearbox and to the rear wheels via the propeller shaft with universal joints. Front and rear differentials enable smooth cornering. For even greater off-road performance on rough terrain, the rear differential may be locked during assembly. Realistic block-pattern tires are mounted on metal-plated wheels and the kit also includes the Tamiya TBLE-02S electronic speed control that is capable of running sensor brushless motors and brushed motors alike.
