Associated B74.1 & T6.2 options

Two new items from Team Associated for the RC10B74.1 and the RC10T6.2. The new HT 0 carbon fibre steering block arms for the RC10B74.1 help make the steering less aggressive off centre with a smoother turn-in feel, which helps improve drivability in high-traction conditions. For the RC10T6.2, the new longer length CVA bone allows for the use of RC10B6.3 Wide Arm Mounts C and D on T6.2 and SC6.2 trucks. The longer driveshaft and wider arm mount give the truck more grip and stability on all surfaces.

The Yokomo YZ-2CAL 2wd offroad buggy specialised for use on carpet and astro turf surfaces, has been upgraded to the 3.1 version. Even though it is an upgrade, it is no longer an exaggeration to say that it is a new machine with newly designed parts throughout the chassis. The chassis has been lengthened, the wheelbase has been changed on the steering hub carrier, and the rigidity of the front and rear parts has been rebalanced to achieve a total balance that will lead to improved times. The suspension has also been upgraded to the latest configuration with 3mm shock shafts for a more responsive suspension, and is now fully prepared for the 2022 season.
