Associated optional gear set & diff outdrives

Associated have released some new parts for their 1/8th range of cars starting with this optional gear set. This new ring and pinion gear set provides an optional gear ratio that smooths out power delivery of both 1:8 gas and electric vehicles. Each vehicle type requires two sets and the new final drive ratio introduced by the optional gear set requires a change in your gearing. Also to simplify and streamline the kit-building process, Team Associated’s new universal differential outdrive is designed to replace previous outdrives for the RC8 and SC8 line of vehicles. Suitable for RC8, RC8.2, RC8.2e, RC8T, SC8 and SC8.2e kits and RTRs.

Bittydesign Force body for XB9

Bittydesign have released the new Force body for the Xray XB9 buggy. Recently shown at the Euros in Austria, the new body is a real good alternative to the existing stock body. Italian Xray Factory driver Alessandro Stocco used the new body during qualifying at the Euros and his impressions were really good saying the car had more steering in low speed corners but at same time was more stable on high speed turns compared to the standard body. The big fin on the roof and the rear engine ‘reverse scoop’ section complete the look of this new cab forward body. Made from high quality 1mm thick Lexan polycarbonate, it is sold with window masks, decal sheet and protective film.
