Available now from Schelle Racing Innovations is an aluminium steering bushing set for the Team Associated B5 and B5M. The 8-piece complete tuning set gives racers the option of all 3 axle height positions. The bright machined 7075 finish adds a bit of bling while shedding some weight by switching material away from steel.

New from Schelle Racing Innovations comes a carbon fibre battery strap for the mid-motor B5M buggy. The innovative design allows racers to remove the front battery foams, shedding additional weight and opening up the chassis for more ESC placement options while holding the cells secure. The second design feature is the narrow rear tongue which allows chassis flex through the entire range of motion without contacting the rear chassis brace. The brace also reduces the weight of the battery mount from 14g to 7g while stainless steel screws and aluminium locknuts act as an adjustable battery stop.

Schelle Racing Innovations introduce the Spinfree front axles for the Team Associated SC10 and expand their line of Onyx bearings. Starting with the front axles, the chromoly alloy shafts are of a design that relieves the clamping forces on the front bearings, allowing to tighten the wheels completely and stop the front axles from binding in the turns. The axles come as pair and include shims and button head screws. Schelle has also expanded their Onyx bearing line to outfit the three newest 4WD electric buggies on the market as are the Team Associated B44.3, Hot Bodies D413, and TLR 22-4. The greased split-seal bearings reduce overall drivetrain drag and come in a re-usable snap case wrapped with the Schelle logo and graphics.

Weighing in at 1.5g and shedding about 3.5g of slipper parts the plate locks the Nova slipper clutch for improved forward bite on very high bite surfaces. The laser-etched part comes including installation instructions and a Schelle mini decal.

Schelle Racing Innovations introduce a shorty conversion kit for the company’s already available B44.2 aluminium chassis. Upon the release of the chassis in March, many racers took notice that an upcoming shorty pack conversion was built into the Schelle design. The Schelle shorty conversion design allows for lighter weight by shedding around 80g of battery weight going from a saddle pack to a shorty. Optimised component placement on the chassis gives the car almost identical weight bias to a saddle pack car, but now in a lighter and more agile package. The lighter weight also benefits jumping and landing, with the shocks carrying less weight on takeoffs and landings. The shorty layout is more mass centralised, with heavier components closer to the centre of the car which gives the feeling of faster and more smooth rotation through the turns. The conversion will be a limited edition with only two production batches. The first batch of B44.2 shorty conversions are available for pre-order now.

Schelle Racing Innovations have new option parts for the Team Associated B5 and B5M available in the form of an aluminium topshaft and ceramic transmission bearing sets. Starting with the topshaft, the lightweight part is precision machined for improved efficiency and a quieter running gearbox. Weighting in at only 4.8g it scrubs around 9.1g of rotation mass compared to the stock part for quicker spool-up and improved braking performance. The shaft is machined from high-quality 7075 aluminium and fits both the B5 and B5M.

Schelle Racing Innoovations introduce two hop-ups for Kyosho’s 2WD Ultima series vehicles. First up is a ball-raced steering rack for the RB6, RT6 and SC6. The ball bearing construction eliminates slop from the pivot bushings while the design allows for additional Ackermann adjustment fore-aft as well as a wide steering pivot option. Widening out the inner bellcrank pivots shortens the steering link rod to better match the camber gain in the suspension and in testing Schelle found that the wide pivot setting produces a more predictable steering feel as the chassis leans in the turns. The second new part is a pre-cut chassis protection decal for the RB6. The sticker is made by UpgradeRC, sports the Schelle logos and it protects the chassis bottom from becoming excessively scratched on abrasive surfaces.
