Team Associated RC8T3.2 truggy team kit

Following a successful release of the long-awaited RC8B3.2, Team Associated have been keeping themselves busy and the result is the RC8T3.2. Using principles learned from the development of the RC8B3.2, the rear suspension arms have been lengthened to use the narrow pivot design for increased traction and stability. Bottom-loaded suspension arm inserts provide adjustable flex and increase durability while keeping the arms debris-free and easy to clean. A 4-piece centre bulkhead allows for easier access to the centre differential to make adjustments even faster, while a new rear shock tower has been developed to work with the new suspension arm geometry. The all-new radio tray design has several new features: an enclosed battery box, a larger receiver box, integrated switch and transponder mounting, and adjustable flex configurations. Updated shock caps allow the RC8T3.2 to be run with the included new stiff bladders, standard bladders, or as emulsion with no bladders, all with the same cap.

Team Bomber TB-AK12 S-line side springs

Team Bomber have produced this new range of S-line springs for their TB-AK12 1/12th scale pan car. These HQ side springs are best suited for a wide range of popular carpets, high-grip road surfaces and conditions where a solid diff is used. The result of a close cooperation with a Japanese spring manufacturer with testing and technical capabilities they found that the taper of the springs helps reduce on power traction loss during cornering when using a differential. Made with high quality materials, the number of winds of each spring and all their dimensions have been carefully checked to ensure consistency and the best end product. Available in two versions, blue (soft) and white (hard).

Infinity IF14 II floating electronic plate set

New for the Infinity IF14 II, Creation Model have produced a new batch of products based around their new floating electronic plate set. The floating electronics plate allows the receiver, ESC and motor cooling fan to be easily installed and removed from the chassis, helping with maintenance and allowing for quicker chassis changes. The graphite electronics plate floats off the main chassis by either attaching to a centre weight or an aluminium electronics plate mount to avoid affecting the chassis flex. The brass centre weight comes in at 15 grams and additional 7.5 gram balance weights can added to the centre weight to help balance your car. The 7.5 gram weight can also be mounted without the 15 gram centre weight by mounting it to an aluminium plate mount if necessary. The centre weight can also function as a chassis stiffener by adding an extra screw to the chassis. In addition Creation Model have produced an aluminium cooling fan mount that can also be added to allow installation of a 30mm size fan for cooling the motor. This mount is available in anodised black or red.
