RDRP B64, XB2 & XB4 titanium lower shock screw sets

Revolution Design Racing Products have introduced three sets of lower titanium shock screws for the Team Associated B64, as well as the Xray XB2 and XB4 series of buggies. The high-quality fasteners do away with the standard steel screws and they are of a shouldered design that only has threaded sections where they are needed, while areas to which the lower shock eyelet bushings attach are of a plain design for improved durability. The screw heads are also unique in the way that they feature dual 2mm and 5.5mm hex sections that allow to use 2mm hex or 5.5mm nut drivers to fasten or loosen the screws. Included in the sets are two front and two rear shock mounting screws.

LRP X22 WorksTeam optional rotors

Coming from LRP and made for the new X22 series of 540-size competition modified motors are a total of five WorksTeam optional rotors. Available as 12.1mm, 12.3mm, 12.5mm, 12.7mm and 13.0mm variant, the rotors have great influence on the overall RPM and available torque, with the smaller diameters increasing the RPM at the expense of lower torque, less powerful brakes and higher motor temperatures while the larger diameter items reduce the overall RPM but increase torque and brake performance. This means smaller diameter rotors are better suited for 2WD cars or lower grip tracks while the large rotors will excel in 4WD vehicles or on high-grip surfaces. All rotors are direct replacements and they come with laser-etched markings for easy identification.
