CRC have released a number of new parts including this Encore shock shaft extender that replaces the stock ball cup on the end of the shaft allowing you to use any size/length of standard 4-40 ball cup. This allows you to make the shock quite a bit longer to fit on other manufacturers cars. Popular on some 1/10th scale oval cars, these new aluminium shock tower mounts allow you to vertically mount your carbon fiber shock tower to your chassis and also work well for mounting mini servos, such as the JR 3650, flat in 1/12th scale and 1/10th scale pan cars. New for the RC12R5 and similar to the CRC front ride height shim set, this new set comes with 3 pair of shims, 1 pair each of .010″ (0.25mm), .020″ (0.5mm) & .030″ (0.75mm). Team CRC have also created these two molded plastic pinion trees. This all new design sports pinion storage on all 4 sides which allows you to store a huge range of gears. The smaller tree holds pinion gears 18-45 teeth, while the larger tree holds 46-67 tooth gears. Finally CRC have released this simple foam car stand, perfect for under your pan car.
McPappy Racing have introduced the Dart 2.5 and have released a Dart 2.5 Standard Kit and a Dart 2.5 Team Kit. This newest version was designed to stay flatter and turn harder and it has an offset and super offset T-plate position. Shorter wheelbase and lightened pod plates, the left side of the chassis was moved out .100″ to increase the left weight percentage and also taking advantage of the newest Protoform D-HD nationwide body. The LiPo strap brace was moved to the rear of the battery allowing the battery to move toward the LF wheel. This increased front weight percentage. They also added new rubber o-rings designed to work with the carbon fiber flex braces which eliminates all tweaking and finally new standoffs flatten the angle of the side shocks which in testing, has all proven to be better.
