MCD Micro Stud V2 large scale tyres

MCD have introduced the Micro Stud V2 tyre for large scale off-road buggies. Following an extensive optimisation process the tyres are now even lighter, weighing in at only 150g, saving around 25 percent of weight per tyre and thus scrubbing a total of 200g per set without sacrificing handling and durability. The 180mm tyres are available in a soft and medium rubber compound.

Tekno RC have new optional shock towers for the EB48SL and the SCT410.3 as well as a 17mm wheel wrench and shock cap tool available. Starting with the shock towers, coming for the front and rear of the company’s 1/10th short course truck and 1/8th super light buggy, the towers are are made from super tough 5mm carbon material and they are 6mm lower than the stock parts for a lower centre of gravity and thus improved handling. Scrubbing 6 grams of weight per tower they also make for a lower overall weight and they should only be used with the TKR5516 front suspension arms and TKR5515 rear suspension arms.

X Factory Infinity T5M carbon fibre chassis kit

New from X Factory comes the Infinity T5M carbon fibre chassis kit for the Team Associated T5M stadium truck. Being a direct replacement for the somewhat heavy standard aluminium chassis the chassis kit saves about 75g of weight while adding flex for improved cornering, jumping and performance in bumpy section. The chassis has several advantages over the standard aluminium part in addition to super-light weight. It won’t tweak and the flex is controllable with the side rails and waterfall; depending on which screws are installed and how tight they are, the driver controls how much flex there is and where it occurs. This allows to quickly and easily adjust the truck for many surface conditions, from the highest traction to a blown-out eighth-scale track, from high grip to no grip. The kit includes a the main chassis plate, side rails and small parts for the conversion.

Xray XB4 graphite chassis braces

Xray have introduced two new graphite chassis brace sets for the XB4 off-road buggy. Available for shorty and saddle pack battery configurations the sets allow to run the buggy without the upper deck for a wider range of chassis flex settings. The graphite parts are designed to attach to the lower composite chassis braces and by using more or less mounting screws the flex characteristics can be further fine-tuned. Both the shorty and saddle pack configuration sets are available separately and they include all needed mounting hardware.

MIP T5M & SC5M Bypass1 Team Tuned shock piston kit

MIP’s Bypass1 Team Tuned shock piston kits are now also available for the Team Associated T5M race and SC5M stadium truck. The design of the shock pistons allows to adjust the compression and rebound separately thanks to a system that used different valves to control the shock piston’s movement. Using the system not only makes for a more planted ride, it also allows to push the vehicle harder while making it easier to drive at the same time. Included with the Team Tuned kit come T5M and SC5M compatible pistons and “fast” green, “medium” blue and “medium-slow” matte valves.
