New from the Factory Team are these new V2 threaded shocks that are compatible with all current RTR and Factory Team shocks on B4, B4.1, T4, T4.1, B44 and SC10. Sold in a complete shock absorber set or just as shock body set, the full sets feature bleed screw shock caps for quick and easy shock bleeding, and a simplified seal packages that uses two O-rings and one spacer. The threaded lower seal cap is made of a low-friction material and acts as a guide bushing, while the titanium nitride “Gold” coated shock shafts offer smooth action. For pre load adjustment the threaded shock collars, with O-rings, keep the settings secure. These new shocks work with existing shock shafts, pistons, O-rings, shock ends, spring cups and shock caps.

Team Associated’s new Rockstar SC10 2.4GHz RTR truck is modeled after Curt, Kyle and Todd LeDuc’s short course race trucks as raced in the Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series. Based on the 7-time ROAR National Champion RC10T4 and equipped with the company’s new XP3-SS 2.4 GHz 3-channel radio system, the SC10 comes ready-to-run with a factory-detailed ’09 Championship short course race truck body, KMC-style wheels and aggressive tread multi-terrain tires, all designed to look just like the full-size race trucks that run in short course off road series around the country.

Team Associated have released their P3-SS 2.4GHz 3CH radio control system. Designed using the state-of-the-art wireless and advanced-programming technology, this radio will advance and simplify the control of your surface model while providing many years of enjoyment. Featuring spread spectrum and smart-frequency hopping systems, the XP3-SS delivers precision control with greatly reduced risk of interference, while a variety of standard features enhance user friendliness.
Team Associated have announced the introduction of the Factory Team ball differential specifically designed for the SC10. Once built, the differential fits directly into the stock SC10 transmission case without any modifications. Racers have long enjoyed the handling benefits that a ball differential offers. For nearly 30 years, competition electric off-road cars have been equipped with them, and for good reason, ball differentials improve handling consistency over bumpy surfaces while increasing cornering capabilities. Each outdrive is machined from hardened steel for exceptional durability, then lightened to reduce rotating mass. The outdrives are also available separately so that current T4 and B4 differentials can be upgraded for use in the SC10.

Judging by their January releases Pro-Line have been busy with a whole host of new bodies, tires and wheels being announced. Starting with the new Chevy Silverado Short course truck body, perfect for Chevy race fans to deck out their Slash or SC10 chassis’.

Both bodies are sold clear and supplied with window mask and decal sheets. Bringing colour to your racing, PL now offer their range of Split six wheels in 2 additional colours, white and yellow, in addition to the already available black versions.
