PSM TA07 FWD conversion kit

PSM from Germany have released a FWD conversion kit for the Tamiya TA07 touring car. The kit will transform the TA07 4WD vehicle into a high performance, full carbon fibre front-wheel drive chassis. It was developed to provide precise and agile handling characteristics and features PSM’s new and unique O-ring style battery mount that allows for quick and easy battery access along with options for battery position adjustments. Also new with this conversion kit is a unique carbon fibre motor mount, featuring a brass PSM emblem. Considering that FWD classes usually race motors with 17.5T and upwards, head dispersion is not an issue and the carbon fibre motor mount brings in low weight and high stiffness. The conversion kit was designed for low profile servos and shorty-style batteries only and it includes 2.25mm carbon fibre chassis and upper deck parts, aluminium steering posts, carbon fibre starting braces, carbon fibre battery braces, a carbon fibre motor mount, a Bando S3M drive belt, as well as mounting hardware.

JConcepts B74 blue aluminium motor & diff mount set

JConcepts are busy adding more Team Associated B74 optionals to their line-up with the latest being the blue aluminium motor and diff mount set. The set is machined in high-grade aluminium and anodised blue for top-notch looks. The option part aligns and drops under the centre diff/slipper and attaches to the chassis using the stock hardware. The mount attaches to the motor with the stock hardware and stays with the motor during installation and routine in and out procedures. Once the motor is slid into the diff mount, the rigid assembly and lightweight construction of the mount is a perfect complement to the B74. The section can be topped off with JConcepts’ optional centre bulkhead top-plate for a robust assembly.
