UREE from Japan are currently working on an aluminium waterfall and pitch damper set for the Team Associated B6.1 buggy. The waterfall will be of a slim design to take an optional slim fan unit in order to improve motor cooling while the upper pitch damper improves drivability in a range of track conditions. No word yet on a release date but we are keeping you posted.
Coming from PSM and made for the Team Associated B6.1 2WD buggy is an O-ring retained battery positioning system. The assembly, that is also usable on the B6, consists of two carbon fibre brackets that securely grab the shorty pack while two O-rings ensure the battery stays in place even when the going gets tough while also allowing for super-fast battery swaps. The battery can be mounted in a forward or rearward position and due to having very little influence on chassis twist, the system is recommended for 17.5T stock classes as the higher speeds of modified motors can make the buggy a bit twitchy due to increased chassis flex.
Coming from Team Associated and made to complement their already released 2017 Worlds T-shirt is a new hooded sweater. It is made from a quality cotton/polyester blend and features the latest Team Associated graphics in white, grey and blue colours. The hoodie is available in S to XXXL sizes now.

Coming from Team Associated are new brass arm mount for the TC7.1, TC7 and TC6.2 series of touring cars. They were designed to replace the stock machined aluminium outer and inner mounts with machined brass versions for increased mass. Each outer mount is 7 grams heavier than the aluminium version while the inner mounts add 2.5 grams each. A combination of these mounts, or completely replacing the stock mounts, helps with tuning the overall centre of mass. The suspension hangers are sold in pairs and the additional weight of the mounts is laser-etched.

Following a first teaser image released on social media, Team Associated have officially introduced the long-awaited T6.1 Team Kit 1/10th 2WD stadium truck. Based on AE’ B6.1 platform, the RC10T6.1 Team Kit represents the next step in the evolution for competitive truck racing. The RC10T6.1 Team Kit began life with the many great advantages already learned through the development of the RC10B6.1. Armed with extensive feedback from racers, the engineers behind the doors of Team Associated’s Area 51 set off to design the ultimate truck chassis utilising every advantage possible. Like the RC10B6.1, the RC10T6.1 has new features, such as an easy-access differential with height adjustment, and an all-new slipper assembly. Also part of the package is a layback Stealth transmission for a lower and more rearward centre of gravity, aluminium C and D mounts as well as a Pro-Line Enforcer body shell. The kit is set for a release in April.

Hot on the heels of the T6.1 Team Kit stadium truck comes Team Associated’s all-new SC6.1 Team Kit 1/10th 2WD short course truck. The vehicle used Team Associated’s B6.1 platform and utilises many of the parts developed for the T6.1 such as long-travel suspension arms with moulded inserts for the rear shocks as well as a layback Stealth transmission with height adjustable ball differential, long V2 12mm big bore shock absorbers and bulkheads with front and rear anti-roll bar integration for easy tuning. The kit comes without body shell, wheels and tyres and it is set for a release in April.
