Factory RC have announced the release of a plethora of new carbon fibre option parts for the Yokomo YZ-2T 2WD stadium truck kit. First up is a battery hold down set in traditional black weave as well as blue and gold weave carbon fibre materials. The set is made from 3mm and 5mm carbon fibre pieces utilising the stock hardware to greatly improve battery retention. Using the 5mm spacer block and an additional bolt the battery stops and battery tab no longer flex which can allow the battery to eject from the vehicle. The set will also fit the YZ-2 series of buggies if owners change the sideguards to the updated YOKZ2-002SPT parts.

Exotek have released two new aluminium option parts for the Team Associated 6 series of kits in the form of 2-tone rear hubs and a buggy wing mount set. Starting with the rear hubs, the stealthy 2-colour anodised alloy rear uprights fit the B64, T6.1 and SC6.1. The customised polished black base with blue chamfered accents goes great with stock plastic parts or after market blue parts and through careful cutting and shaping the hubs are actually 2g lighter than the alloy Team Associated counterparts. The set includes 2mm roll centre alloy spacers to match the stock geometry of the AE alloy hubs and Exotek’s updated design works as either the left or right hub, giving racers more camber link hole options.

Coming from Factory RC is a new battery retention system for the Team Associated 6 series of off-road kits, such as the B6.1, T6.1 and SC6.1. The system utilises 3mm black or blue weave carbon fibre along with a colour matched aluminium spacer and stock hardware for a secure and highly adjustable retaining system. The system allows for battery float to allow the chassis to work independently which can provide better grip, less chassis “snap”, and a better overall driving vehicle. The battery hold down system is available now in both traditional black weave carbon fibre, and our blue weave carbon fibre material.
