Centro C4.2 alloy bulkhead & 2.5° suspension mount

Team Associated introduce new option parts for the Centro C4.2 conversion kit in the form of a rear aluminium bulkhead and a 2.5° rear hinge pin brace. Starting with the bulkhead, the part is CNC-machined from aluminium, it sports the stock geometry but a less bulky design compared to the kit’s plastic part for a sleeker overall appearance. At the same time rigidity is increased thanks to the stronger material which is ideal when racing modified classes. The second new part is the 2.5° rear hinge pink block that again is machined from high-quality aluminium and it comes black anodised. The suspension mount features 0.5° less toe compared to the kit 3° block for added straight line speed and a more agile handling on high bite tracks. Included with the block come suitable delrin hinge pin inserts.
