RDRP RC8B3 brass rear weight

Made for the Team Associated RC8B3 is RDRP’s new brass rear weight. A quick and easy solution to add weight to the rear of the chassis, the CNC-machined part is made of high-quality brass material, it comes black anodised and attached to the RF suspension block using the kit’s screws. Adding weight in front of the rear axle greatly helps to gain traction on slippery surfaces while also making for a more plush ride over very rough terrain. The weight is compatible to all 3rd generation RC8 kits including the RC8B, RC8B3e, RC8T3 and RC8T3e.

RDRP RC8B3 titanium shock mounts

Made for Team Associated’s 3rd generation 1/8th off-road vehicles are the new RDRP titanium shock mounts. Machined from high-quality titanium material for the lowest possible weight while keeping exceptional structural rigidity, the parts were designed to do away with the original steel mount and screw in place for a 1-piece solution that scrubs about 1g of weight per piece. On top of this the design also allows for easier shock angle changes as there is only a single nut to undo in order to slide the mounts out of the shock tower. All needed mounting hardware is included and the titanium shock mounts are compatible with the RC8B, RC8B3e, RC8T3 and RC8T3e.

JTP RT6 & SC6 Race Carbon shock towers

Coming from Jared Tebo’s JTP brand are carbon fibre shock towers for the Kyosho RT6 and SC6 trucks. The front shock tower was designed to dramatically change the front end geometry to improve the steering feeling. The shocks will be directly mounted to the arm, helping to taking out the twitch and over aggressive front end and giving more confidence in corners. Also new is a rear shock tower that offers the standard geometry with the inside three holes being available. The tower must be used with the RB6.6 rear bulkhead and it changes the body mounting positions. Both the front and rear shock tower are made from high-quality 4mm carbon fibre and JTP also offers a set of front and rear RT6 and SC6 arms with the front arms coming pre-drilled for the required new shock mounting location.
