NEW! RC8B3 Arm Mounts with HRC
 |
|
Feb. 15, 2017 - Team Associated's new RC8B3 Arm Mounts with High Roll Center offer increased ground clearance for greater durability, since the pivots now sit 1mm higher off the ground. Additionally, they allow the racer to run a higher roll center for increased stability on faster, high-grip tracks. Both #81291 Arm Mount A and #81292 Arm Mount B are narrower for added side clearance and durability. All of these mounts are made of high quality 7075-T6 aluminum.

NEW! TC7.1 Factory Team Parts
 |
|
Feb. 14, 2017 - Now you can add progressive damping to your TC7.1 small shocks with the PSD (Position Sensitive Damping) Shock System. The PSD's progressive damping is determined by the piston's position in the shock body -- the more the shock is compressed, the more damping, giving the shocks a plusher feel. The secret lies in the tapered slots in the sleeves. As the piston passes through the narrower slot openings, more pack is achieved.

New Factory Spotlight -- Myron Kinnard's TC7.1
 |
|
Feb. 16, 2017 - This Spotlight is for the TC7/TC7.1 driven by Team Associated and Reedy Power team driver Myron "BATTMAN" Kinnard. The car is set up under full USVTA rules and guidelines. Over a three-month period, Myron TQ'd and won the USVTA Invitational title, the Thunder Jam IX title, and finished second place at the 37th Annual US Indoor Champs. With so many specs to the class, like tires, rims, bodies, ESCs, batteries, and the IR of motors (only class that does this), you can see why equipment, driver, and setup is extremely crucial.
