Team Associated have released a new 12R5.1 LiPo Conversion kit. The chassis has been been optimized for 1S LiPo batteries and features inline battery positioning generating a lower polar moment of inertia for smoother mid-corner steering in high traction conditions. A lengthened wheel base gives added stability, while the front bulkhead mounting position has been widened to give more options for upper control arm length and added adjustability for multiple track and motor conditions. An updated rear upper pod geometry increases leverage on center shock to help compensate for the lighter minimum overall chassis mass when using LiPo batteries. Other additions include stronger blue aluminium chassis braces and a thicker 3mm rear chassis brace gives extra support for rear body posts ad side springs.
