RCSS T6.1 Next Level hybrid ceramic bearing sets

Coming from RC Speed Secrets and made for Team Associated’s T6.1 stadium truck are three new Next Level series hybrid ceramic ball bearing sets. Available as complete kit and also as separate gearbox and wheel bearing kits, all make use of high-grade hybrid ceramic and stainless steel ball races that are about 21 percent lighter than popular ABEC-3 ceramics with the stainless steel construction giving higher corrosion resistance than chrome/steel bearings. The low-friction design greatly reduces drivetrain drag, increasing runtime and lowering operation temperatures, making them ideal for both stock and modified racing. All three sets are available now.

Schelle B6.1 Extreme battery strap fan mount

New from Schelle Racing Innovations is the Extreme battery strap fan mount for the Team Associated B6.1 and B6 buggies. It allows to run a 30mm cooling fan in a secure location that will clear the body and blow directly onto the motor can and winding. With the new gearbox design, racers scrambled for a cooling fan location that can blow on the motor to keep the temps in check and the performance consistent. Utilising the optional centre pivot mount holes on the Schelle Extreme carbon battery strap, a 30mm fan can sit inside the cab of the body, clear the motor wiring, and blow directly onto the motor. The 3-D-printed item is usable for the B6.1, T6.1 and SC6.1 and it adapts the the older B6 buggy lineup as well.
