Associated RC8B4.1 16mm 1.5mm Wire Shock Springs

Team Associated has added a new 1.50mm (1.5D) wire spring lineup to tune its RC8B4.1 1:8 Buggy for the un-groomed and bumpy surfaces encountered at DNC and Silver State.  As part of ongoing 1:8 scale development, the team noticed that the current line of 1.6mm wire springs perform well on a higher grip fast layout, but struggled for consistent grip on un-groomed tracks.  Changing the wire diameter to 1.5mm gives the spring a different natural frequency and stress on the wire, so it can more easily compress and conform to the track surface in lower grip.  Coupled with new softer rates in the front and rear, the new spring lineup is ideal for un-groomed surfaces where traction is at a premium.  Both front and rear springs are shortened from the previous kit (front spring from 70mm to 68mm, and rear springs from 86mm to 83mm free length) to optimise the package with the new lower RC8B4.1 shock towers.

Factory Team RC10B7 Alu Hubs

Team Associated’s Factory Team brand has announced new aluminium hubs for the RC10B7 1:10 2WD Buggy.  These hubs are a more durable alternative to the molded hubs and provide more unsprung weight, which can be used as a tuning option.  The HRC (High Roll Center) hubs include the secondary bearing bore for the upcoming FT Universals.  The HRC hubs allow for higher axle heights, which is great when running on high grip surfaces with smaller diameter tires and lower ride heights. Both standard and HRC variants have colour options of anodised blue or black with secondary machined chamfers and laser-etched FT logo.
