Schelle Racing Innovations’ 2-row carbon fibre rear shock tower was developed for both the electric and nitro RC8B3.1 series buggy and offers a a second upper row of mount holes to move the entire shock when running a low roll centre on the rear hubs. Having the hinge pin close to the rear axle, commonly called “hubs down” will be shifting the shock along with the axle height on the rear hinge pin, giving the advantage of more up-travel. In bumpy conditions on hard cornering, the additional travel helps the tyres to navigate the surface without bottoming the shock and upsetting the chassis. The lower row of holes matches the kit geometry and is intended for running in the HRC axle height on the rear hub. The tower is cut from 4mm material, it has a no-pockets design to prevent delimitation and large hole spacing increases durability. The tower fits RC8B3.1, 3.1e, and older RC8B3 versions.

Leadfinger Racing’s popular A2 Tactic body shell is now also available in a variant for the Team Associated B6.1 buggy. Working with key features from their previous line of 1/8th scale bodies, and transferring ideas to the 2WD platform, yields a product that LFR customers have been waiting for. Like the A2 Tactic bodies before it, the B6.1 body has an added roof vent that allows for better cooling for today’s sensitive electronics. Running cooler has it’s advantages and feeding cool air directly over the power house is a welcomed upgrade. Behind that, LFR has designed a top fin that joins into a rear swoop for added stability and increased rear down force. The combination of the two help give the Team associated B6.1 a balanced and precise feel during mid corner rotation and on power exit. The A2 Tactic body is sold in clear ready for paint, including two pre-cut Tactic wings, stickers and window masks.
