Schelle D413 +4mm alloy chassis & B5M C-mount

Schelle Racing Innovations have new option parts for the HB D413 and the Team Associated B5M buggy available. Starting with the aluminium stretch chassis, the +4mm longer wheelbase gives the car a longer footprint, reducing the pitching weight transfer that can cause the car to “3 wheel” and pick up a rear tyre in the turns. Also in the air, the car with the longer chassis is less sensitive and the car is also meant to be easier to control and drive hard without getting upset on braking, turn-in, or corner exit. Also, at 153g total weight the added 53g of weight and stiffness created by the alloy material stabilise the car on high grip. The chassis is recommended for indoor astro, carpet, and high-grip clay and the set includes the 2.5mm 7075 chassis, front top deck, instructions, chassis protector, O-ring dogbone spacers, and a Schelle mini decal.

Starting with the buggy part, the new rear pull hinge pins are the perfect complement to the aluminium arm mount D Schelle released in early this year.

The pins are 3.5mm diameter chrome steel with a hard Titanium Nitride coating. The pins fit all B5M, B5M Factory Lite, T5M, and SC5M vehicles equipped with the Schelle arm mount D. Also new is the chassis protector for the SC5M short course truck.

Schelle B5M offset V2 topshaft set

The new Schelle offset V2 topshaft set for the Team Associated B5M, T5M and SC5M was designed to shift the motor weight closer to car’s centre line. The set utilises a 3mm extended hard-anodised aluminium top shaft, spacer tube, and a 3mm carbon fibre motor plate spacer to shift the motor plate and slipper unit in the car. This results in more stability and symmetric turning forces. The set fits any V2 3-gear or 4-gear gearbox.
