Coming from JConcepts and made for Team Associated’s 6th generation buggies and trucks is a 15.5mm aluminium servo arm. One of the critical points of racing comes from the steering servo and proper servo horn. The horn transfers all the torque from the servo to the steering bell cranks and this piece needs to be created with precision and durability. The JConcepts servo horn created for both 23T and 25T count has all the geometry necessary as a direct bolt-on for the B6, T6 and SC6 generation of vehicles. The broad base of the horn tapers to the connection area where the steering takes place. The heavy-duty boss on top protects the ball-end and provides a hefty surface for steering direction. Small ribs have been added on the sides to help strengthen the unit in a twisting fashion and a deep pocket hides the 3mm standard mounting screw. The entire horn has been retouched with chamfer highlight edging and laser etched with JC and the tooth count for high-end looks and authenticity.

Tamiya have introduced first option parts for their all-new TC-01 on-road chassis in the form of an anti-roll bar set and aluminium rocker arms. Starting with the stabiliser kit, the set induces three different thickness anti-roll bars as well as blue anodised mounting hardware for factory looks. The stabiliser kit is usable for the front or the rear of the chassis and it allows to adjust overall chassis roll in corners and comes in handy especially when running in high-bite track conditions.

Also new is an aluminium rocker arm kit that replaces the standard D3 plastic parts. The sturdy arms ensure greater precision while their metal construction also improves suspension efficiency as they wouldn’t flex as the standard parts do, which results in better shock absorber action and thus optimised traction. The rocker arms are machined from high-quality aluminium and they come blue anodised and are usable on the front of rear of the TC-01. The new parts will hit stores by the end of August.
