Schelle B6.1 Nova lockout set

Schelle Racing Innovations have introduced their new Nova buggy lockout set for the Team Associated B6.1 buggy. The slipper eliminator replaces the standard slipper assembly for a direct drive system with screw-on main gears in order to reduce rotation mass for improved acceleration. The B6.1 version is a new V2 design with its screw-on spur gears and it is easier to assemble, and works with both the B6.1 kit topshaft or the short direct drive topshaft. The lockout set sheds weight down to a bare minimum 2.3g and to weighs in at 4.6g total including the spur gear and the set includes a 69 tooth and a 72 tooth Nova Spur gear.

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.

Schelle B64 short wheelbase arms & B6.1 Ti screws

Schelle have introduced new optional parts for the Team Associated B64 and B6.1 in the form of short B64 rear arms and a titanium upper screw kit for the B6.1. Starting with the rear arms, these are already part of Schelle short wheelbase kit for the B64 with the modified wishbones offering a 2mm shorter wheelbase which is a popular mod for racing on lower traction surfaces as the reduced wheelbase will generate greater rear traction. The arms are available as standard or hard composite items. Coming soon is also a 55-piece Grade 5 titanium screw kit for the Team Associated B6.1 and B6.1D. Saving 15g in the upper regions of the buggy, the set will not only reduce overall weight but also lower the overall centre of gravity which can be beneficial especially in high-bite racing conditions. The set includes 12mm wing mount hardware with optional 20mm screws being available separately.

Schelle B6.1 alloy rear hubs & low front wing mount

Schelle Racing Innovations have introduced new option parts for the Team Associated B6.1 buggy in the form of alloy rear hubs and a low front wing mount. Starting with the rear hubs, the proven 2-piece design allows fine-adjustment and increases durability as the upper cap design can space away from the main hub with ballstud shims, allowing racers fine in-between adjustments for the rear upper link location. The upper caps are shared with the B6 and B64s design, with the same parts used both left and right. The upper cap design with a shorter washer stack reduces leverage on the outer ballstud, as well as increasing shock clearance for the turnbuckle. The hubs are available for the 67mm driveshaft setup in the B6.1 and B6.1D kits, they come in black or blue finish and they are also available as the B6.1 Carpet Hub Set, a black version which comes with -2mm upper caps and ballstuds specifically for carpet racing.
