JConcepts T5M titanium knurl tip front axles

JConcepts T5M titanium knurl tip front axles

Made for the Team Associated T5M are the new titanium knurl tip front axles from JConcepts. The design is based around a high-quality titanium construction, and a knurled axle tip for finger control and access. Finger control gives the mechanic a grippy place to rest a finger so the front tyre doesn’t rotate easily during changes making the process quicker and with less frustration. The design also eliminates screws and other items which are hard to inspect for issues which limit performance and add additional weight. The light-weight, free spinning design includes axle roll-pins to allow easy assembly of a necessary but (not included) clamping hex adaptor.

Team Associated Kashima-coated V2 Fox shocks

New from Team Associated come the Factory Team V2 Fox shock bodies with genuine Kashima coat. The shocks have the same attributes as the shock coat found on the buttery-smooth Fox Factory Series forks and shocks, providing extended life and silky-smooth shock action. The shock shafts use a screw to secure the piston and there are two coatings to choose from: TiN shafts for the longest life and Factory Team chrome shafts for the smoothest action. The pistons come machined for a precision fit and finish and their edges have large radiuses for the smoothest shock action. Also available are blanks for customising own piston hole combinations. The shock accessories are available in a range of different sizes to fit Team Associated’s 1/10 scale 2WD and 4WD electric buggies, as well as 1/10 scale 2WD electric trucks and short course vehicles.

Avid D413 12mm aluminium hex set

Avid D413 12mm aluminium hex set

Coming from Avid and made for the HB D413 1/10th 4WD buggy is a 12mm aluminium hex set. Offering an innovative pin retaining system to hold the front drive pins in place the conversion does away with the annoying “pin dropping out to never be found again” the original front hexes sport. The front hexes are machined in a way to utilise an internal O-ring that holds the pin in place once the wheels are off. For the rear adapters the proven clamping system is used utilising a stainless steel 2-56 clamp screw. The chamfered edges of the 6061-T6 alloy parts make for easy wheel installation and each package includes a pair of 12mm hex front and a pair of 12mm hex rear adapters, three front O-rings, two 2-56 clamping screws, O-ring install instructions, and an Avid mini decal sheet.
