Team EAM 1/12th pan car spool axle

Team EAM have introduced their new spool rear axle for 1/12th pan cars. A popular setup for very high bite “black” carpet tracks, the solid axle will make for improved traction due to getting rid of the standard ball differential that can slip when using low-wind motors. The purpose designed and constructed axle shaft features aluminium inserts, weighing in at 0.2g each, to keep the carbon from compressing while clamping down the hubs. Without these the hubs will come loose and fly off during a race and eventually drivers can also crush the axle while trying to keep the hubs tight. The axle is available in hollow or solid variants from now on.

PSM B6.1 O-ring retained battery positioning system

Coming from PSM and made for the Team Associated B6.1 2WD buggy is an O-ring retained battery positioning system. The assembly, that is also usable on the B6, consists of two carbon fibre brackets that securely grab the shorty pack while two O-rings ensure the battery stays in place even when the going gets tough while also allowing for super-fast battery swaps. The battery can be mounted in a forward or rearward position and due to having very little influence on chassis twist, the system is recommended for 17.5T stock classes as the higher speeds of modified motors can make the buggy a bit twitchy due to increased chassis flex.
