Team Associated B64 Factory Team option parts

Team Associated have introduced a range of new Factory Team option parts for the B64 range of 1/10th 4WD buggies. First up are aluminium rear hubs in blue or black colour. The uprights are of a symmetrical design, they allow for axle height adjustment and the vertical camber link ball stud mounting helps to achieve finer roller centre adjustments. Also new are +2 FT steering arm blocks. Laser-etched for easy identification, the parts add more Ackermann than the stock plates which results in smoother steering response. Last but not least comes the FT LRC arm mount B made of heavy brass material. A direct fit for the standard LRC arm mount B, the part adds weight to the front of the buggy, it lowers the centre of gravity and improves front end consistence through high speed corners.

The weather was kind throughout the whole weekend, with just a few spots of rain during the early practice rounds but not even enough to slow the lap times down. This was also the first major race event in the UK at which the well-known ETS Volante tyre and Tonisport/MR33 hand-out additive was used, so the organisers arranged the format to give everyone plenty of track time to get used to the new rubber. It didn’t take people long, with track-record pace being up for grabs on not only new, but also used tyres as well, taking most of the tyre strategy out of play.
