RSD Roche P12 floating servo conversion chassis

Reflex Racing have introduced the floating servo conversion chassis for the Roche P12 1/12th scale pan car. The conversion kit maintains the stock geometry of the P12, while adding optional holes to install longer Xray side links as well as Reflex Racing’s popular floating servo mount. On top of that the chassis is made from 2.5mm quasi isotropic carbon fibre, so it is more rigid than the kit version for more consistency in high-bite conditions.

TLR SCTE 2.0 dogbone centre driveline set

Coming from TLR and made for the SCTE 2.0 4WD short course truck is the dogbone centre driveline set. The front- and rear center dogbones eliminate the friction of a CV coupler and reduce the bind caused after the front centre CV coupler wears. The set utilises shorter and lighter front and rear outdrives in the centre for faster acceleration and longer diff life with today’s power systems while also offering increased longevity due to bone float. The set is designed to fit the standard and -3mm chassis.
