T.O.P. Rebel 12 servo mount & wheel axles

New from T.O.P. Racing for their Rebel 12 chassis are these 2 new optional parts. First up is this new red anodised alloy servo mount that is designed in a way, so that users can mount their servo flat or at a slanted position. Also released is this steel front axle set. The original kit front axle utilized an e-clip to secure the front wheel so that the axle could be made shorter and so would be less likely to be damage when hitting track boards. This optional axle is designed for users who would prefer to secure the front wheel with a lock nut instead of an e-clip.

Shepherd V8 Velox yellow clutch shoe

Shepherd have introduced their new performance enhancing yellow clutch shoe for the V8 Velox Competion Clutch. This new clutch shoe was succesfully used by our factory teamdrivers at the World Championship 1/8th scale where Shepherd had the second most cars in the top 20 after qualifying with Daniele Ielasi and Michele Romagnoli even ranked in the top 10. The shoe is CNC-machined from a special high grip material that is a little bit harder than the optional white clutch shoe material. Due to the high friction surface it slips less providing maximum acceleration also on high grip tracks when setting the enganging point to high RPMs.

Reflex Racing RSD parts for TC6

New from Mini-Z specialists Reflex Racing is their latest product line called RSD, which stands for Reflex Suspension Dynamics. RSD will focus on larger scale suspension parts and other accessories and they will start off with updates for the Team Associated TC6. The first TC6 parts are set to arrive in Mid May and they will include vertical ball stud bulkhead caps for the TC6. Much like the other popular TC’s out there, these shock tower mounts give you infinite roll center adjustments. You have the option of the extra long link or a second hole which makes the camber link slightly longer than the shock tower mounting positions. A Tuned Spring Set comes with the ideal spring rates for your AE TC6. With the advent of LiPo and Brushless, cars now have a lower polar movement inertia and softer spring rates are necessary. The advantage of these springs is that they were designed for the TC6. The size is perfect for the shocks and the rates are optimized for on track performance. Finally there are popular 1.0, 1.5mm pistons, machined out of delrin in order to allow smoother shock operation and of course ease of use, as no drilling or shaving must be done to these to make them work flawlessly. These pistons will work on any shock that uses a 10mm diameter piston with a 3mm shock shaft.
