Vision Racing introduce 2mm carbon fibre chassis stiffeners for the Team Associated SC10 series vehicles. This upgrade is designed to enhanced the performance of the truck’s stock chassis flex by stiffening and adding weight to the lowest point of the chassis but also keeping it centralised for improved handling characteristics. The modification is comparable to adding carbon arms and parts to the Team Associated vehicles allowing it to work much better on high bite tracks and it works well with the new anti-roll bar kit allowing it to carry even more corner speed. Included with the carbon parts come 18…

Avid is busy adding more option parts to their range of after market parts. First up is the motor centering kit for Team Associated’s B4.2, T4.2 and SC10.2 line of off-road vehicles as well as the respective predecessors. The parts are designed to overcome the imbalance issue often associated with the vehicles that are heavy on the left rear, which also makes an imbalance on the front tires. By shifting the motor, motorplate, and slipper 5mm towards the right, the balance is restored close to 50/50 for a more predictable handling. Along with the improved balance also goes a 6.7g…
