Schelle 16mm XTR pistons

New from Kurt Wenger’s Schelle Racing Innovations brand are these 16mm XTR pistons with custom valving that utilises the proven MIP Bypass1 platform. The pistons, made in Covina, CA at MIP, are a custom spec design that is not available anywhere else. The new 4 hole rebound valving gives racers a wide range of tuning that is very forgiving, making it harder to take your buggy out of the setup window. The heart of the design is the signature Schelle 5 hole bump valvings, based on tuning a base 5 hole piston (1.4F, 1.5R). In 2024, Wenger and the team expanded the options going up and down in pack a tiny step from the standard baseline, adding 2 new options to fine tune for smooth tracks as well as un-groomed outdoors. Piston O.D. and 2.5mm thickness is based on the “H” Hi-Flow profile. The unique Bypass1 system was the perfect way to add extra tuning to the rebound stroke of the shock and improve jumping, prevent wheel hop, all while keeping the vehicles smooth and predictable in turns. Racers can use MIP’s patented Bypass1 system with coloured valves to fine tune the rebound speed engineered to work in a wide range of conditions and take full advantage over the Xtra Tune-able Rebound (XTR!) of the system.

Schelle B7 +/- 2.5° Alu Bulkhead | 13mm Fat Boys Pistons

Schelle Racing Innovations has added two new products to its offering of Team Associated aftermarket parts with the release of a +/- 2.5 Degree Aluminium Front Bulkhead for the B7 and a range of 13mm Fat Boys Pistons. Owned by well known vehicle engineering Kurt Wenger, Schelle’s latest parts launch comes after a successful debut at the 1-Up Challenge held at Hobby Action in Chandler, Arizona. The Schelle +/- 2.5 Degree 7075 Aluminium Front Bulkhead is made in the strongest billet aluminium alloy and its design utilises an added rib on the +2.5 side to increase cross-section and strength. For all Team Associated 13mm shocks, Schelle is giving the “Fat Boy” piston treatment to 13mm shocks in 2-hole and 3-hole variants. The 2.7mm thick Fat Boy piston profile reduces blow-by and provides a longer channel for the valving, thus increasing pack at high speeds. The Fat Boys are ideal for cases where you need to run a larger hole piston to gain grip, but you won’t have to sacrifice stability or jump landing.
