Coming from Schelle Racing Innovations and made for the Team Associated B6.1 series of buggies are a 5mm front gullwing arm shock tower and a rear low centre of gravity stay. The 5mm front tower is of a heavy duty design, however it matched the kit geometry and it is usable with the plastic tower guard that covers the optional wing mount locations. Also available is a thinner 4mm variant to match the flex characteristics of the standard kit tower. Last but not least comes the B6.1D low centre of gravity rear shock tower. It lowers the shocks for a low CG and more predictable rear suspension as this tower sits 2mm lower to the ground, and also gives racers the fine adjustment with tight hole spacing. The 4mm tower is a direct bolt-on to the B6.1D and it was designed for the use with 31mm shock body and short rod ends.
Coming from JConcepts and made for the Tekno NT48.3 truggy is the new Finnisher body shell. The slight cab forward, raked windshield and aggressive stance highlight a performance oriented core while wide front hood scoop allows plenty of clearance for the unique Tekno NT48.3 shock geometry. The body incorporates a large centre fin which begins on the roof line and finishes just past the half-way point on the bed. Extended front chin spoiler, headlight and grill protect the front-end from unwanted up-drafts during flight while the supplied decals stand-out like an 18 wheeler. The body comes moulded from high-quality polycarbonate, including window masks and a decal sheet and it also fits and works with the ET48.3 electric truck.
