Schelle B64 short wheelbase kit & EB410 LiPo strap

Schelle Racing Innovations have introduced new option parts for the Team Associated B64 and the Tekno RC EB410 1/10th 4WD buggies. First up is the 2mm short wheelbase kit for the B64, a set that includes modified standard material rear arms that reduce the wheelbase by 2mm for increased rear weight bias, giving more traction in the turns and a more predictable on exit. The shorter wheelbase also increases weight transfer on power, giving better drive to exit the turns on both dirt and carpet/astro. The set includes the modified rear arms, 2mm 3-D-printed pin spacers, 7mm 3-D-printed standoffs as well as 30mm shock screws.

Schelle B64 Extreme shock tower set

Schelle Racing Innovations have introduced their new Extreme shock towers for the Team Associated B64 buggy. Machined from 4.0mm carbon fibre for stiffness and durability the front and rear tower have the unnecessary outer holes removed for less leverage to break while the front tower sports optional wing mount holes. The front wing is a great addition in high traction when using the less-agressive kit B64 body. Schelle’s testing has found that the JConcepts F2 body does not require a front wing, but the kit body will definitely benefit from it. In the rear, racers get a more durable tower, with new upper link options that improve handling. The kit outer row of holes are shifted 2.5mm towards the centreline, which lengthens the link and improves cornering balance. The inboard row of holes are shifted 2mm and only marked with a drill dimple, as they will be rarely used except for extreme traction conditions. The towers are usable on all B64 kits with standard 27.5 rear shock bodies, they come separately or as complete set with the optional 3-D-printed front wing mount being available separately.

Schelle Racing Innovations have introduced a bunch of option and maintenance parts for the Team Associated B64 and TLR 22 series of 1/10th electric off-road buggies. First up is a front top deck for the B64. Cut from carbon fibre the part was designed to replace the standard composite brace and the new flex characteristics make the front end more predictable and consistent. According to Schelle, in testing, drivers were able to do more fast laps and less crashes. The 2.5mm carbon top deck fits both the B64 and B64D and it comes including a set of stainless steel mounting screws.

Schelle AE V2 12mm pistons & B64 LP battery posts

Schelle Racing Innovations have new Team Associated V2 12mm pistons as well as AE B64 low-profile battery posts available. Starting with the shock pistons, they are now available in three new variants. The 3×1.5mm flat pistons are popular for 2WD and 4WD buggies in rear while the new 3+1 line of split hole pistons, with the +1 additional hole added to give more grip and forgiveness, is better used in bumpy conditions compared to a standard 3-hole. The addition of the small 4th hole gives less low-speed damping resistance, resulting in more traction. It also alters the damping progression relative to a conventional piston, giving less resistance initially before ramping as the shock speed increases.
