Exotek B6.3 brass C block hanger & wide rear tower

Two new items from Exotek Racing for the Associated B6.3 & B6.1 starting with this stealthy black coated brass C block hanger. Only for use with 73mm arms, the block weighs 24g and helps increase rear traction by adding weight at a low point under the gearbox. The part is finished with laser etching for easy identification. Also new is this wide stance rear drag racing shock tower for the B6 laydown and layback gear box. Made from glossy 4mm carbon fibre, it uses the stock rear shock and allows for an upright angle for more stability.

JConcepts titanium 5.5 x 6mm ball studs

A sought-after piece in the RC world is the 5.5 x 6mm ball-ends which seemingly attach to just about every corner of the Team Associated line of vehicles and JConcepts Regulator behind axle steering assembly. Previously, the kit versions were very heavy steel items which is a lot of unnecessary weight. With the JConcepts Titanium pieces, the application is smooth and simple with a 2mm wrench while the lightweight material screws together very easily.

This is much stronger than the stock plastic idler gear but not indestructible so it is important to use black or white grease on the gears and reapply frequently to prolong its life along with proper slipper adjustments.
