Core RC high response medium springs

Introducing the new Core RC high response medium springs for the front of 1/10th offroad buggies. Developed by Schumacher engineers and high level drivers over a wide range of conditions, from low grip dirt to high grip carpet. These springs have been made to improve the responsiveness of the cars, compared to the alternative Core RC and Schumacher big bore springs. They feature less coils and have a thinner wire diameter. They also offer a handy weight saving, by an average 3 grams per pair over previous Core RC springs. For use on the front of the Cougar LD2, Cat L1 EVO and other cars using big bore shocks.

NathoBuilds titanium lower arm studs

NathoBuilds titanium lower arm studs are a great way to help you maintain your 1/10th buggy, truck or drag car more effectively, without the worry of stripping out screws on the lower shock. The hex design sports a flange neck that will allow you to firmly grip the stud, which will firmly tighten the arm and moves the shocks 3mm forward in the car, giving you more clearance from the spring to the turnbuckle. This design also improves cars handling on low and high bite surface.

Xray XB4 composite 6° C-hub

Xray have produced this graphite moulded composite C-hub for right & left steering block on the XB4 & XT4. The specially-formulated graphite composite material is a perfect balance between reliability and performance. With the caster pre-set at 6° the roll centre position can be quickly & easily adjusted by inserting different thickness shims atop the caster block, between the block and vertical ball stud. This graphite C-hub is suitable for most track conditions, especially for high- and very-high-traction tracks. Large openings allow for quick & easy assembly/disassembly of the CVDs meaning the entire CVD assembly can be easily inserted/removed through the C-hub without the need for disassembly. The large openings also prevent jamming of the CVD within the C-hub during serious crashes.
