It's on the new 12R5 1/12th scale car.

Check it out. (http://www.redrc.net/2008/02/team-associated-12r5-112th-scale/)

Oh, Check out the shock. It says:

"New Factory Team shocks features a through-shaft design making for equal damping with no
rebound in both directions"

The front end uses 3mm screws to bolt it to the chassis. (So, after market metal guys, time to build an adapter!)

The small shocks are cool, but will also need some work done to fit the oval cars.

Awesome to see AE put out a new design though!

New? Rear pod style was done by others 15 years ago Front suspension, not much different than what they have had, just a few more parts to it now.

it looks to me like they just copied the first generation carpet knife with a few defferent more up to date pieces.

It's looks interesting.

I will stick with the IRS lowers and the CRC uppers.

I think CRC's front end has 4-40 screws. It wouldn't bolt to our pancars either. Also, the front end now has symmetric components and adjustable track width.
