STRC Slash & SC10 option parts

ST Racing Concepts have released more short course option parts, this time for the Slash 4×4 & 2wd as well as the Associated SC10. First up for the Slash 2wd is this aluminum motor heat sink plate. CNC Machined from high-grade aluminium to fit perfectly into the contour of the Slash 2wd motor mounting area, this plate helps support the plastic transmission/motor mounting area on the Slash 2wd transmission case and help dissipate heat better. . Next up for the Slash 2wd is this HD layshaft that allows the use of the Associated slipper clutch system which gives a more consistent slipper feel and more spur gear options to accommodate for gear ratios of today’s brushless motor. For the Slash 4×4 is this ESC mounting plate, which has been CNC machined from 2.5mm thick aluminium, it provides a solid flat piece of surface area for mounting most electronic speed controls on the market today. Using existing chassis holes, this plate will not flex or twist like fiberglass or lexan material mounting plates and prevents damage to the ESC. Finally for the SC10 are these aluminium hex adapter that allows the car to use the more standardized 12mm hex type short course wheels. Machined to be as thin as possible to keep the rear tires of the SC10 under the body and not to alter the rear width too much. The aluminium parts are available in anodized blue, red, silver and gun metal.

STRC Jammin SCRT10 option parts

STRC have released a number of new optional parts for the Jammin SCRT10. All the new products have been precision CNC machined from high-grade aluminium and grey anodised. The new caster blocks and steering knuckle greatly improves durability and add that great factory looks to the front suspension of your Jammin SCRT10. The Steering Knuckle increases the steering angle over the stock plastic unit for even tighter turning radius, and for precise fit and tolerance, the bearing holes are drilled after the part has been anodized to ensure the tightest tolerance possible around the bearings. New heavy duty front and rear shock towers will not only add great looks to your Jammin SCRT10, but it will eliminate the flex in your shock tower, keeping your suspension operating true to its design. The new center bulkhead will eliminate any flex in the center transmission area due to heavy torque loads from powerful brushless motors. The 12mm Machined Hex adapters securely mounts on your Jammin SCRT10 wheels and tires with no chance of it being “round off” under heavy torque and power loads. Finally there are front and rear chassis braces that provide the front and rear end of your chassis with better support, and prevent the chassis from “buckling” under hard landing and bending the center driveshafts.
