The wire anti-roll bar is used to increase steering response on small, technical tracks and rear traction and is mounted to the bulkheads from the outside, for quick & easy changes and adjustment. The bar turns in ball-bearings for maximum precision and freedom of movement and anti-roll bar height can be quickly & easily adjusted.

Fenix Racing Associated F6 option parts

New from Fenix Racing, for the Associated F6, comes a full set of 7075 aluminium option parts. The new chassis weighs in at just 84 grams and sports some important features such as the ability to use straight or angled links and a more slim profile of the outer “wing” sections to further reducing scrubbing during cornering. One of the more interesting new parts is the caster adjuster, that allows you to change caster in a matter of second without having to find the right insert. To complete the set there is a 2mm thick 7075 motor pod.

Capricorn C803 front upper arm mounts

Capricorn have introduced this new set of front upper arm mounts for the C803. The new mounts are 1.5mm higher than the standard version. This makes it so that the lower position obtainable with the eccentric inserts is the same height as the central position on the old version, while the higher position allows for a lower roll centre than before. The new mounts also limit the caster adjustment range, and are therefore meant to be used with the new shorter arm pins.

First up is the Dynamics upper deck that provides refined flex areas and increased hardness compared to the standard part.
