Exotek roll out new B6.1 series option parts

Coming from Exotek are three new option parts for Team Associated B6.1-based buggies and trucks. First up is a lightweight aluminium motor plate for vehicles using the laydown or layback transmission. The stealthy 2-colour anodised 7075 motor heatsink plate sports a polished black base with blue chamfered accents that go with stock plastic parts or after market blue parts. The black motor plate helps reduce motor temps while the built-in gear cover is stronger than the stock plastic cover to insure that the body does not press the cover onto the spur gear in hard tumbles. Also, the alloy material is kept in place around the motor and bolt screws to resist excess motor plate flex or bending but machined out elsewhere to reduce its weight to 12g. Lastly, the backside spacers are machined into the plate to provide more secure mounting to the gearbox. The plate is usable for the B6.1, T6.1 and SC6.1 vehicles.

JConcepts AE 6.1 aluminium C-block

Made for Team Associated’s 6.1 line of buggies and trucks is the new aluminium C-block from JConcepts. Available in blue and black colours, the precision-machined piece is 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 wheel base. A stout suspension mount can go a long way to assuring your vehicle is technically correct and up to specification. The JConcepts mounts are light-weight enough for the weight conscious racer but beefy enough to stand-up to the rigours of high-end 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. The C-block fit the B6.1, B6.1D, T6.1 and SC6.1 vehicles.
