Exotek B6 upper steering brace & Flite top shaft vUSA

Coming from Exotek are new option parts for the Team Associated B6 series of 2WD buggies. First up is the upper steering brace and sleeve set. The kit strengthens the steering assembly from bending at the mounting screws as well as provides support to keep the steering crank bearings from binding and breaking thanks to the included crush sleeve set. The brace is shaped to fit into the pocketed area of the upper plate and keeps the steering from bending or flexing at the bearing screws. At only 1.2g for all three parts the set hardly adds any weight to the front end of the vehicle.

Also new is the Flite top shaft vUSA for the Team Associated B6 buggy. The USA-made version comes drilled and with narrowed teeth for increased acceleration and a cooler running motor. The top shaft was developed for the use with Exotek’s – separately available – slipper eliminator spur mount and Exotek or Kimbrough spur gears and the full assembly with a 72T spur will weigh in at only 9.5g. The shaft, machined from aircraft-grade 7075 alloy, will come with a hard-anodised surface for wear.
