Associated XP ESC Fan option

Specifically for use with XP 1:10 electronic brushless speed controls, like those that come with SC10 and T4.1 RTRs, this new fan option attaches directly to the ESC’s heatsink for maximum cooling. The fan comes pre-wired with a connector that plugs directly into the ESC connector and mounting hardware is included. Any electronic component will benefit by operating at a lower temperature, which results in improved power, efficiency and reliability. Note that the B4.1 body will not fit over an ESC with the fan option installed.

STRC Slash & SC10 option parts

ST Racing Concepts have released more short course option parts, this time for the Slash 4×4 & 2wd as well as the Associated SC10. First up for the Slash 2wd is this aluminum motor heat sink plate. CNC Machined from high-grade aluminium to fit perfectly into the contour of the Slash 2wd motor mounting area, this plate helps support the plastic transmission/motor mounting area on the Slash 2wd transmission case and help dissipate heat better. . Next up for the Slash 2wd is this HD layshaft that allows the use of the Associated slipper clutch system which gives a more consistent slipper feel and more spur gear options to accommodate for gear ratios of today’s brushless motor. For the Slash 4×4 is this ESC mounting plate, which has been CNC machined from 2.5mm thick aluminium, it provides a solid flat piece of surface area for mounting most electronic speed controls on the market today. Using existing chassis holes, this plate will not flex or twist like fiberglass or lexan material mounting plates and prevents damage to the ESC. Finally for the SC10 are these aluminium hex adapter that allows the car to use the more standardized 12mm hex type short course wheels. Machined to be as thin as possible to keep the rear tires of the SC10 under the body and not to alter the rear width too much. The aluminium parts are available in anodized blue, red, silver and gun metal.
