Coming from T-Works are new steel CV-style driveshaft sets for the Team Associated B64 series of 1/10th 4WD buggies.

This weekend was the 2017 RC Pro Series finals, the largest event of the year for the series with 191 entries total for the race. Team Associated driver Jerry Dean Jr. was in a close battle with Agama driver Jake French as both battled for the TQ until the last round. Ultimately Jake took the TQ by tie breaker setting up a great triple A-main battle. A1 went to Jake as A2 went to Jerry. The final A started with Jerry getting past Jake on the first lap then making a mistake and falling back to 3rd. Jake took the lead with Jerry following close behind. On lap 7 Jake made a mistake that let Jerry take the lead and from that moment on he never look back to take the win and the overall series championship in E-Buggy.
Coming from Xray and made for the XB4 4WD buggy is a 2.5mm 7075-T6 aluminium main chassis plate. The part is machined from high-quality alloy and its design and material used improves the torsional stiffness which results in improved car control especially on high bite to very high bite surfaces. The chassis is usable without the upper braces and it lowers the overall centre of gravity while machined pockets make for a low overall weight.
