Available now from Reflex Racing is the RSD7 carbon fibre chassis for the Team Associated TC6.2 touring car. The shape of the chassis has been engineered so that the car can roll and pitch more naturally, increasing the traction and the steering of the TC6.2, which translates into more corner speed and stability. This is further assisted by the reduced width of only 85mm that has been chosen to promote more roll in the corners as well as allow to run a lower ride height when necessary. On top of that the battery position is pushed further back to increase…

…optional battery holders and an optional motor mount available. Also new is the RSD TC6.2 floating servo mount. The part was designed to make the steering on the TC6.2 more precise thanks to its 3-bolt design at both the bottom and the top.

By detaching the servo mount from the steering posts the car also will not tweak the front end after collisions. Reflex Racing recommends to use the servo mount in combination with a…

Tight 180-degree turns and fast, short straights required serious setup and driving control. Team Associated’s Myron Kinnard took his Reedy-powered TC6.2 to the TQ spot in qualifying. In the Main he took full advantage of that TQ position and…
