Team C TC02C Evo rear bulkhead & alloy servo washers

Team C Racing introduce an aluminium rear shock tower mount for the TC02C Evo buggy as well as aluminium servo washers for general usage. Starting with the rear shock tower mount, the part is CNC-machined from aluminium and it replaces the standard composite part for a more durable one. The part offers improved support for the shock tower and it prevents the camber link ball studs from becoming ripped-out on impacts. The bulkhead sports mounting positions for the rear swaybar and it comes orange anodised to match the remainder of the car’s alloy options. Also new are 4.3mm aluminium servo washers whose design allows them to interlock with the servo’s mounting lashes to ensure a rock-solid installation as the servo cannot move in any direction even in harsh racing situations. The aluminium washers come orange anodised, in sets of four and they fit most standard-size and low-profile servos.

H-Speed WTF1 carbon fibre main chassis plate

H-Speed have a new carbon fibre main chassis plate for CRC’s WTF1 Formula car available. Cut from high-quality multi-directional 4mm carbon fibre the chassis allows to run a shorty LiPo pack in transversal position for increased rear traction and improved steering. The optional rear cross brace allows the use of a rubber O-ring to secure the battery pack, similar to the design seen on the Carpet Knife Xti WC 1/12th scale car. On top of that both parts will reduce the flex of the chassis for even better on-track performance.
