Factory RC B64 blue weave carbon fibre option parts

Coming from Factory RC and made for the Team Associated B64 series of 4WD buggies are blue weave carbon fibre option parts. The range includes a floating servo mount plate made from 2.5mm material and incorporating an antenna mount, next up is a 4mm battery strap that utilises the stock hardware and also new is an 18mm bellcrank input arm that offers reduced weight. Next up are 4mm front and rear shock towers with increased void volume in the centre for additional airflow towards the windscreen and improved airflow in the rear of the body. Also new are 2.5mm steering arms that are lighter than the aluminium parts and the range is rounded out by a 3-piece rear diff shim set including 0.5mm, 1.0mm and 2.0mm shims that allow to raise the rear or front diff case for improved dog bone plunge and increased grip. The blue weave carbon parts sport Factory RC’s Leading Edge chamfered edges which makes sealing the parts with CA glue a snap.

Factory RC ROAR motor tech plate

Coming from Factory RC is the ROAR motor tech plate. This go/no go tech plate allows for quick inspection of any ROAR-approved motor for physical dimension requirements. The plate is machined from 2.25mm carbon look plate to the maximum tolerances allowed by ROAR. This allows the individual inspecting motors for legality to use a non magnetic tool to inspect the rotor and can for dimensions to assure legal racing. The rotor can be inspected using the length and diameter slot which also inspects for the 7.00mm internal OD shaft. There is also a pass through hole for the rotor body as well. Notches help to inspect the can diameter and length, as well as the 14.5mm “plug” go/no go gauge for the can/stack. This leaves only the stack length for inspection with a pair of digital callipers to finalise inspection which is easy to do since the stack is not magnetic. All measurements are clearly marked and the plate has so far been successfully used at various races.
