FF Racing from the UK have introduced their new rear hub link mounts for the Team Associated B6.2 and B74 buggies. Featuring the choice between two different ball-stud mount locations the upgrade part allows for more adjustment compared to the standard part that features just one ball stud location.

JConcepts have announced the release of their new aluminium suspension arm mounts for the Team Associated B74 buggy. Available in blue colour, the precision machined pieces are carefully crafted to accept the standard Team Associated pill inserts. The suspension mounts are a critical piece of any vehicle, they provide the base for adjustments such as toe-in, anti-squat and wheelbase. A stout suspension mount can go a long way to assuring your vehicle is technically correct and up to specification. The JConcepts mounts are lightweight enough for the weight conscious racer but beefy enough to stand-up to the rigours of high-end 4WD modified buggy racing. The mounts feature chamfer highlighted edging which improve the curb appeal and bring out the luster in any show or race ride. They are available separately and identification markings are located on the part to show position.
JC Racing Products’ dished Team Associated B4 and RC10 Worlds wheels are ideal for vintage racers and collectors alike. The front will fit both the B4 platform as well as the RC10 Worlds Edition while the rear wheel fit the B4 exclusively unless an updated rear suspension is used on the popular RC10 vintage buggy. The 2.2” diameter allows to use all modern day buggy tyres and the wheels are available separately in white, black or fluorescent yellow colour.
Team Associated and Ruddog Distribution have announced the return of German 1/8th off-road frontrunner, Carsten Keller to their team. Carsten already used Team Associated machinery before switching to Mugen for the 2017 to 2019 seasons and he is now back with AE gear, with his first race already being a great success as he took a double win in Nitro and Electric Buggy at last weekend’s Bütschwil GP in Switzerland.

Coming from Associated Electric’s Factory Team brand are precision-ground diff rings for 2.60:1 ball diffs. The precision comes from a flatter, tighter tolerance diff ring that will result in smoother diff operation and longer life, therefore increasing time between rebuilds. The rings are a direct upgrade for #7666 diff drive rings and they fit RC10B4 to B6 series, SC5M and SC6.1, RC10T4.1 to T6.1, and all SC10s buggies and trucks using ball diffs.
Coming from ProTek are chassis protector sheets for the Team Associated B6.2 and B6.2D buggies as well as a new universal sheet sporting the USA flag. First up is a “thick” pre-cut chassis protective sheet, designed specifically for the Team Associated B6.2 +3mm chassis. It is made from 12mil laminate and backed by an aggressive adhesive vinyl. Each sheet is cut to exact dimensions of the model, and provides a professional look while helping to protect the chassis. Protective sheets are highly recommended for both new and used chassis to resist against scratches and scrapes and prolong the life of the chassis. In addition to protecting the chassis, the stickers provide a slick and smooth chassis surface which helps reduce friction when contacting the race surface. Usable for the standard wheelbase B6.2D is the older spec B6.1 and B6.1D protective sheet that is also available now.
