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.
