Team Associated have introduced the new brass arm mount D for the B6 series of buggies. Machined from heavy brass material the mount adds 12g of weight to the rearmost part of the car which can improve traction while its design allows for more roll centre and pin width adjustments than the stock mount when combined with AE’s optional arm mount inserts. The mount is laser-etched for easy identification and fits both the B6 and B6D.
Coming from Schelle Racing Innovations and made for Team Associated’s B6 series buggies is the aluminium steering rack. Using the CNC-machined alloy part will remove some slop and add durability without making the buggy feel edgy. The alloy material will also add durability in the ballstud area, allowing for precise and reliable Ackermann changes and the part comes including bearing spacers and in your choice of black or blue anodising.
