Schelle Racing Innovations B5 aluminium rear hubs

Schelle introduce a new 2-piece hub concept for the Team Associated B5 and T5 platform. The 2-piece design with a replaceable upper cab increases adjustment and durability as the upper part can be spaced away from the main hub with ballstud shims, allowing fine “in-between” adjustments for the rear upper link. True to the kit geometry, the zero degree toe aluminium hubs are of a symmetric design with shared parts left and right. Plastic bearing inserts and hinge pin set screws make for the highest possible precision and slop-free parts fitment. The upper cap design reduces leverage on the outer ballstud, as well as increasing shock clearance for the turnbuckle. The hubs come in black or blue anodising and are available now.

Schelle B44.3 -3mm chassis & B5 uprights

Coming soon from Schelle are some new options for the Associated B5 and B44.3. For the B5 there is a new 2-piece aluminium rear hub. The new design helps prevent the ball being pulled from the upright in an impact, while at the same time being replaceable if it gets damaged. Only 1 gram heavier than the stock part it features molded bearing inserts and allows for fine adjustment of the link position, relative to the upright, through the use of shims. For the 4wd B44.3 there is a new 3mm shorter aluminium chassis plate with corresponding top deck. The new setup helps create more on power traction as well as make the car turn more fluidly in the corners. Finally from Schelle is a small bottle of synthetic bearing oil, which is the same oil used on their ceramic bearings, but can now be used on all your bearings for its very fine low drag characteristics. Comes in a handle bottle with fine tip for precise application.

Schelle B5M aluminium rear arm mount D

The Schelle B5M aluminium rear arm mount D replaces the kit plastic part on a B5M and T5M. The design improves durability, ground clearance, and also ease of use to disassemble the rear suspension, while the added strength of aluminium allows for a minimalist design using machined Delrin pivot balls to allow for perfect suspension alignment. The compact design keeps the mount high off of the chassis bottom to avoid dragging on jumps and landings. With the addition of a rear carbon fibre cap, Schelle is planning new inner hinge pins that allow for rear-pull in dis-assembling the rear end and changing anti-squat. Available in both black or blue anodized with laser etched Schelle logo.

Schelle diff ball & thrust set plus chassis protectors

Schelle Racing Innovations have a bunch of new products available in the form of 3/32″ diff ball and ceramic thrust sets as well as Schelle-branded UpGrade RC chassis protectors. Starting with the 3/32″ ball and thrust combo, the set is made to upgrade the diff in Team Associated and TLR buggies or trucks. The tungsten carbide high precision balls are ultra-precise, to the smooth feeling diff like a ceramic diff ball, but with the perfect hardness and ease of setting that comes with a tungsten carbide diff ball. The included ceramic caged thrust bearing gives the diff maximum smoothness and it is easy to build. The 6 caged ceramic balls run on a hardened, grooved ring which is perfect for the massive clamping force inside the thrust assembly. The set is available with 14 balls for the B5 and 2WD 22 series and as 12 ball set for the B44.2, B4.2, T4.2, the respective Centro conversions, the SC10.2 and the 22-4.
