RDRP T6.2 & SC6.2 hard front anti-roll bar set

Revolution Design have released this hard front anti-roll bar set for the T6.2 & SC6.2 (1.5/1.6/1.7mm). Although today’s stadium and short course trucks are based on low-centre-of-gravity platforms, available options still focus on dirt tracks. As a consequence, racers are either to improvise or will be unable to unlock their trucks’ full potential on high-grip surfaces. With their wide front tires, trucks can be a handful on carpet and Astroturf, because the anti-roll bars on the market are not up to the task of taming down your front end, until now that is. RDRP has come up with a set of three anti-roll bars with high-grip racetracks in mind. Available at an economic price, this is a welcome option for everyone racing an Associated 6 series truck on carpet or Astroturf.

RDRP B6.2 -1° D suspension block

RDRP presents their new -1° D suspension block for the Associated B6.2 2WD buggy. With this item, it is possible to either reduce rear toe-in for less rolling resistance and more corner speed on high-bite surfaces such as carpet and Astroturf, or to run your rear arms in a narrower position for more roll on slippery tracks. Machined from durable aluminium and black anodised, it has chamfered and polished edges for looks and of course is compatible with the full range of Team Associated B6.2 pill inserts.
