Team Associated RC8T3.2e EP truggy team kit

Having only just announced the RC8T3.2, Team Associated followed up quickly with the release of the new RC8T3.2e, a car that shares many of its new features with its nitro counterpart. Again, the new longer suspension arms utilise the narrow arm mounts from the RC8B3.2 for increased traction and stability. Bottom-loaded suspension arm inserts provide adjustable flex and increase durability, while keeping the arms free of debris and easy to clean. A new rear shock tower has been developed to work with the new suspension arm geometry. A 3-piece centre bulkhead allows for easy access to the centre differential and makes adjustments even faster. Updated shock caps allow the RC8T3.2e to be run with the included new stiff bladders, optional standard bladders, or as emulsion with no bladders, all with the same cap. The side guards have also been improved by using countersunk screws that thread into the chassis from the top of the truck, which greatly improves alignment to the chassis.

JConcepts tire break-in drill adaptor kit

One of the most used tools on the 1/10th off-road racing scene, JConcepts presents their new tire break-in device. It’s a pretty simple combination of a standard hex drive shaft for a typical drill but extended and given some lock driven flats, the simple item turns into a very useful tool around the track. An aluminium 12mm and 17mm hex adaptor slides over the shaft to give racers the option of which type of vehicle (1/10th or 1/8th) they are preparing tires for. The flywheel nut features a large diameter for grip and adjustment and the ability to flip directions for deeper dish shaped wheels. It also has stealth black anodising, laser etched JConcepts.net logo, grippy knurling and a lightened design for quick function and easy storage.

Following a successful release of the long-awaited RC8B3.2, Team Associated have been keeping themselves busy and the result is the RC8T3.2.

Bottom-loaded suspension arm inserts provide adjustable flex and increase durability while keeping the arms debris-free and easy to clean. A 4-piece centre bulkhead allows for easier access to the centre differential to make adjustments even faster, while a new rear shock tower has been developed to work with the new suspension arm geometry. The all-new radio tray design has several new features: an enclosed battery box, a larger receiver box, integrated switch and transponder mounting, and adjustable flex configurations. Updated shock caps allow the RC8T3.2 to be run with the included new stiff bladders, standard bladders, or as emulsion with no bladders, all with the same cap.
