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.
