Phat Bodies have introduced their new Zed wing pack that has been developed as an alternative to the popular kit wing included with the company’s GTM and GTF body shells. The wings are supplied with new profiles for a different feel on track. Both can also be tuned to varied heights for high and low downforce tracks and they are moulded in 0.75mm Lexan polycarbonate to give minimal deflection under load for maximum downforce yet also lightweight to keep the centre of gravity as low as possible.
Coming from T-Works is a set of aluminium exhaust locks for most .21 and .12 exhaust pipes. The machined aluminium parts are designed to sandwich the pipe end in addition to the standard muffler grub screw, making for additional security and peace of mind in long mains or when running on rutted tracks. The machined aluminium items come black anodised for wear, in sets of two and including four grub screws.
Coming from Team Associated are new brass arm mount for the TC7.1, TC7 and TC6.2 series of touring cars. They were designed to replace the stock machined aluminium outer and inner mounts with machined brass versions for increased mass. Each outer mount is 7 grams heavier than the aluminium version while the inner mounts add 2.5 grams each. A combination of these mounts, or completely replacing the stock mounts, helps with tuning the overall centre of mass. The suspension hangers are sold in pairs and the additional weight of the mounts is laser-etched.
