MCD have introduced the Micro Stud V2 tyre for large scale off-road buggies. Following an extensive optimisation process the tyres are now even lighter, weighing in at only 150g, saving around 25 percent of weight per tyre and thus scrubbing a total of 200g per set without sacrificing handling and durability. The 180mm tyres are available in a soft and medium rubber compound.

Avid TC6.2 aluminium chassis plate

Coming from Avid and made for the Team Associated TC6.2 is an optional aluminium main chassis plate. Machined from 2mm 7075-T6 aluminium the chassis offers higher rigidity than the stock carbon fibre chassis, making it especially useful on high to medium-bite surfaces while allowing the suspension brackets to be mounted lower at the same time. Avid signature “herringbone” cut-outs lower the overall weight and give the chassis a unique look while the narrow 84mm width allows for more ground clearance in corners. The chassis comes black anodised, with machined silver edges and laser-etched Avid logos for easy identification.
