Schelle B6.1 3.5mm carbon motor plate

Coming soon from Schelle Racing Innovations is a 3.5mm carbon fibre motor plate for Team Associated’s B6.1-based vehicles. The laydown motor plate was tested at the OCRC Stock Nationals and won the 40+ class. Schelle took the motor plate up to 3.5mm thick, with a clearance cut for the slipper clutch, so that it would hold the motor rigid while still shaving weight off the chassis. The plate scrubs over three grams of weight and it fits the Layback and Laydown Gearboxes of the B6.1, B6.1D, T6.1, and SC6.1. The plate is available for pre-order now and will become available in early August.

JConcepts B6.1 series Aero rear diffusor

Coming from JConcepts is their new Aero rear diffusor for the Team Associated B6.1 series vehicles. A rear diffuser is a huge part of full-scale race car aerodynamic grip which has shown to improve performance. In off-road racing, ride-height, ground clearance and suspension travel substantially affect handling and are routinely adjusted to benefit one section of the track or another. It is difficult to install low-mounted aerodynamic features because of the general abuse off-road vehicles endure, however, JConcepts has taken on the task to mount another aero option. For the all-important balance between flat track tuning and elevation off-road features, JC has moved the diffuser into a higher position. The position, although not traditional, still provides affects of aerodynamics without limiting rear clearance. The item includes two pieces and can be fitted easily to popular vehicles like the B6.1, T6.1 and SC6.1. The aerodynamic device uses the same 3mm hardware as the rear ball-stud mount and it installs on top and is secure with the same screws.
