The Diggity Designs DC4 conversion kit for Team Associated’s ‘near vintage’ TC4 optimises the use of LiPo batteries and brushless motors by relocating and centralising the battery and electronics closely to the centreline. A new suspension geometry via redesigned shock towers and a lower centre of gravity helps to improve traction and handling as does the tweak free floating servo mount.
