Hot Bodies TCXX option parts

Hot Bodies release new option parts for the TCXX 1/10th electric touring car in the form of various suspension blocks and a gear diff outdrive set. The suspension mounts in the form of the F/R pivot block are available as 0 degree, 0.5 degree and 1.5 degree variant to alter the front sweep and rear toe of the suspension arms. Also available are two-piece pivot blocks R/F with 0.5 degree and 1.0 degree setting. The split design provides extra flex on lower grip surfaces by allowing the front and rear end of the chassis to twist easier than with single-piece designs. All parts fit the TCXX and the TCX kit. The gear diff outdrive set includes steel front outdrives required for running a gear diff upfront. The drive cups have a thinner slot than the rears to accommodate the 2mm drive pin without the use of a drive blade.
