Schelle B6.1 3.5mm carbon motor plate

Coming soon from Schelle Racing Innovations is a 3.5mm carbon fibre motor plate for Team Associated’s B6.1-based vehicles. The laydown motor plate was tested at the OCRC Stock Nationals and won the 40+ class. Schelle took the motor plate up to 3.5mm thick, with a clearance cut for the slipper clutch, so that it would hold the motor rigid while still shaving weight off the chassis. The plate scrubs over three grams of weight and it fits the Layback and Laydown Gearboxes of the B6.1, B6.1D, T6.1, and SC6.1. The plate is available for pre-order now and will become available in early August.

New from Schelle Racing Innovations is the Extreme battery strap fan mount for the Team Associated B6.1 and B6 buggies. It allows to run a 30mm cooling fan in a secure location that will clear the body and blow directly onto the motor can and winding. With the new gearbox design, racers scrambled for a cooling fan location that can blow on the motor to keep the temps in check and the performance consistent. Utilising the optional centre pivot mount holes on the Schelle Extreme carbon battery strap, a 30mm fan can sit inside the cab of the body, clear the motor wiring, and blow directly onto the motor. The 3-D-printed item is usable for the B6.1, T6.1 and SC6.1 and it adapts the the older B6 buggy lineup as well.

Schelle B6.1 front & rear carbon fibre shock towers

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.
