THR B6 under LiPo weight, bulkhead shims & thumb nuts

UK brand THR has introduced three new option parts for the Team Associated B6 series of 2WD buggies. First up is a tuneable under LiPo weight that allows for easy and swift weight gain in a 40g to 70g range by simply removing or adding three separate weight inserts. Cut from stainless steel the weight measured an overall 53x87x2mm and it is a drop-fit for the B6’s battery compartment. While adding or removing weight, the design also makes weight bias adjustments easy courtesy of the placement of the inserts within the frame. The weight can also be used in the Yokomo YZ-2 buggy with a special version for the Schumacher Cougar KD and KC being in the making too.


Next up are front bulkhead shims for the B6 andB6D. The precision laser cut 1mm and 0.5mm thick stainless steel parts are sold as a pair to allow a range of three height settings by use of a single shim or combining both. The result of using these is a lower roll centre allowing the front end to roll more in corners. This will give more mid corner and exit steering. Last but not least are M3 thumb nuts for securing the LiPo battery pack. These are a direct replacement for the kit items and can be used in any buggy that uses M3 fittings. The stainless steel nuts are 12mm in diameter and a low profile 3mm high. Knurled edges make them easy to grip.
