Team Associated B6.1 Factory Lite 2WD buggy kit

Coming soon from Team Associated is the B6.1 Factory Lite 2WD buggy kit, a lightweight variant of the popular B6.1 specially aimed at stock racing classes. Shedding over 45 grams of weight from the original B6.1D, the Factory Lite was designed to excel in classes requiring Spec motors, allowing the racer to take full advantage of the performance offered by the reduced weight. The Factory Lite sheds 30 of the 45 grams in rotational mass alone. Parts used to achieve the weight savings include the MIP PucksT system, MIP Pucks 7075-T6 aluminium outdrives, MIP Pucks Bi-Metal lightweight R-CVD bones (67mm), Factory Team direct drive system, and a lightweight body. All other features here taken over from the B6.1 kit, meaning full parts compatibility. The Factory Lite kit is set for a release in late September.

Exotek B6.1 suspension & drivetrain optionals

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.

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.
