Willspeed TakeOne HRC AE B6 20° front bulkheads

For the Team Associated B6 series of cars Willspeed introduces an additional TakeOne HRC machined aluminium front bulkhead, this time in 20°. This front bulkhead raises the hinge pin 1mm closer to the chassis, raising the roll centre. The result is more steering response and overall steering throughout the corner and is a great option for all track and surface conditions. Lightweight at only 8.5g, this keeps the steering input feel immediate and agile. Supplied with new hinge pin brace to suit geometry change they are available now in clear, blue or black anodised finishes.

NathoBuilds titanium lower arm studs

NathoBuilds titanium lower arm studs are a great way to help you maintain your 1/10th buggy, truck or drag car more effectively, without the worry of stripping out screws on the lower shock. The hex design sports a flange neck that will allow you to firmly grip the stud, which will firmly tighten the arm and moves the shocks 3mm forward in the car, giving you more clearance from the spring to the turnbuckle. This design also improves cars handling on low and high bite surface.

Xray XB4 composite 6° C-hub

Xray have produced this graphite moulded composite C-hub for right & left steering block on the XB4 & XT4. The specially-formulated graphite composite material is a perfect balance between reliability and performance. With the caster pre-set at 6° the roll centre position can be quickly & easily adjusted by inserting different thickness shims atop the caster block, between the block and vertical ball stud. This graphite C-hub is suitable for most track conditions, especially for high- and very-high-traction tracks. Large openings allow for quick & easy assembly/disassembly of the CVDs meaning the entire CVD assembly can be easily inserted/removed through the C-hub without the need for disassembly. The large openings also prevent jamming of the CVD within the C-hub during serious crashes.
