Team Associated B64 FT adjustable CF bellcrank arm

Team Associated have introduced the Factory Team adjustable graphite bellcrank arm for the B64 line of 1/10th 4WD buggies. Using the arm adds more steering options to the buggy as moving the ball stud into different hole locations allows the driver to adjust the rate of the steering rack. The forward hole has the quickest, most responsive steering feel while the middle hole is stock ball stud location. Rear hole will be less responsive, giving the numbest feel, by slowing down the steering rack rate. The arm is machined from high-quality graphite laminate and it is a direct replacement for the stock arm.
