ARC R11 2018 aluminium upper deck

ARC have introduced an aluminium upper deck for the R11 2018 electric touring car. The item is cut from high-quality 7075-T6 aluminium and it comes black anodised and with silver edge details. The part is especially useful when running a carbon fibre chassis on medium-low carpet tracks as it makes for a stiffer chassis assembly compared to an all-carbon setup while allowing for more torsional flex than an aluminium chassis.

Avid CPD 1/10th buggy slipper pads

Coming from Avid are the CPD Consistent Power Delivery slipper pads for many of today’s electric off-road buggies. The slipper pads are of a new material designed with the focus of providing a larger tuning window while also being able to handle higher temps. This allows for less slipper fade during a run and drivers don’t have to adjust their buggy’s slipper setting nearly as often to maintain the same track feel. The pads are available for the standard Team Associated and Yokomo slippers and also for Avid’s own Triad Evo units.
