Made for Team Associated’s T6.1 and SC6.1 trucks are new front and rear anti-roll bar sets. They will help minimise chassis roll on high-traction surfaces, making the vehicle more responsive in cornering and more stable. Each front and rear set has three bar thicknesses to choose from: soft white, medium grey, and blue firm. In addition a hardware set is available that contains all the parts needed to mount both front and rear bars.
Exotek have introduced more option parts for the Team Associated B6.1 buggy. First up is a 2-colour rear hub set. Coming in a stealthy 2-colour anodised finish, the hubs are 1g lighter than the AE alloy items thanks to careful cutting and shaping and they offer additional ballstud mounting positions. They also include 2mm roll centre alloy spacers to match the stock geometry of the Associated alloy hubs and the updated design works as either the left or right hub, giving more camber link hole options. The alloy hubs require the use of shorter ball studs such as ASC91047 or ASC91752.
MIP have announced the release of their Bi-metal Puck kit for the Team Associated T6.1 and SC6.1 trucks. MIP’s Puck kit has become a well known accessory for 1/10th scale buggies and now it is also available for AE’s latest line of trucks. The kit decreases the car’s driveline rotational weight by 50 percent, resulting in faster acceleration, quicker deceleration, and less wear and tear on the electronics. The set includes a diff assembly sans diff gear as well as Puck dog bones foe the use with the original wheel axles.

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.
Coming from Schelle Racing Innovations are the Nova Slipper clutch sets for the Team Associated B6.1 and T6.1 kits. The 3-plate compact slipper clutch offers improved driving feel, greater duality and a lower mass. The weight is reduced by over 6g while offering 20 percent more torque capacity in a compact package that helps to put more power to the ground. The sets include two slipper pads of each type , white and red, and a tuning guide to help racers learn how to tune the clutch for different conditions from slick dirt to astro-turf. The B6.1 buggy Set includes 72 and 78 tooth spur gears for either spec of modified racing while the T6.1 set, that is also compatible with the SC6.1, comes with two 81T spur gears.
Avid have announced the release of new option parts for the Team Associated B6.1 and Yokomo YZ-2 2WD off-road buggies. Coming for the B6.1 are the customisable Evo slipper and Stock direct drive sets that are designed to replace the standard slipper assembly. The customisable Evo slipper set allows to choose two spur gears of 69T to 87T in size and either the triple CPD pads, triple red pads, triple white pads or two white and two red pads – all depending on the chosen application. The Evo slipper scrubs nearly 5g or weight compared to the stock slipper assembly for improved acceleration and efficiency.
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.
Pilot RC Products have introduced their new X-Rings shock seals for 1/10th Team Associated vehicles and other brands. The shock seals are made of a special material that will do away with swelling issues, ensuring smooth and like-new shock action over a very long time. The result is better bump absorption and a more predicable ride over the course of a race weekend. Included comes a sample of Pilot’s Orange shock grease and the X-rings are completely able to be wiped off, greased and re-installed time and time again. The seals come in a sealing container and are usable for Team Associated, Serpent and Kyosho 1/10th cars.
