RDRP T6.1 & SC6.1 heavy-duty carbon fibre shock towers

Revolution Design Racing Products have introduced new heavy-duty carbon fibre front and rear shock towers for the Team Associated T6.1 Stadium and SC6.1 Short Course Truck. They match the standard kit geometry but are of a reinforced heavy duty design for improved durability and stability, greatly reducing breaking issues and increasing suspension efficiency. Different from the standard parts the RDRP HD shock towers are machined from extra thick 6mm carbon fibre, compared to the standard 4mm part, which further reduces flexing and tweaking under load, making the tower especially useful when running in high-traction or very bumpy track conditions as they improves overall traction. As they match the stock dimensions the towers are a direct replacement with no setup changes needed when swapping parts over.

T-Works have introduced first option parts for the all-new TLR 22X-4 1/10th scale 4WD buggy that is hitting stores as we type.

All titanium parts are made of high-quality 64-grade titanium for a low weight, high strength and exceptional corrosion resistance, making them a great replacement for the standard parts. Last but not least comes a 128-piece set of gold-color steel screws that mainly adds visual impact while offering great corrosion resistance.

NathoBuilds B74 O-ring battery strap

NathoBuilds have introduced their new O-ring battery strap for the Team Associated B74 buggy. The battery strap offers a secure adjustment of the shorty LiPo pack and unlike the kit carbon strap with two nuts, these battery straps stay secure to the battery pack and make it quicker for the driver to change the pack over. The owner also can change whether he would like the battery pack back or forward by just swapping the plastic strap mounts over. The O-ring holds the pack secure enough to keep it in place, but also flexible enough to allow for the chassis to flex underneath. The O-ring straps are centrally located to the battery strap, so the O-ring is securely located in whatever battery position, ensuring accessibility to the battery and balancer tubes.

Klinik RC carbon fibre ball diff jig & camber gauge

Coming from Klinik RC is their new combined carbon fibre ball diff jig and camber gauge. Made in the USA from 3mm carbon fibre, the jig will help build the perfect ball diff every time as it makes checking the adjustment a breeze by simply slipping the jig into the slots of the diff outdrives. Once strapped into the jig and by turning the diff gear, the diff’s hardness/setting can be checked easily. As an added feature, -1 degree and -2 degree camber settings are built into each side for quick camber checks before each run. With its size the gauge is usable for most 1/10th and 1/8th scale tyres.
