Avid RC8B3/T3 HD aluminium steering rack

Coming from Avid and made for the Team Associated RC8B3 series of off-road vehicles is the HD aluminium steering rack. Made to prevent the easy bending of the stock steering rack by making it out of the strong 7075-T6 aluminium, the design also removes the relief pockets, and takes out the unnecessary kinks. The black anodised item comes with silver edge details and a laser-etched Avid logo. The rack fits all the vehicles in the RC8B3 and RC8T3 line.

Schelle B6.1 alloy rear hubs & low front wing mount

Schelle Racing Innovations have introduced new option parts for the Team Associated B6.1 buggy in the form of alloy rear hubs and a low front wing mount. Starting with the rear hubs, the proven 2-piece design allows fine-adjustment and increases durability as the upper cap design can space away from the main hub with ballstud shims, allowing racers fine in-between adjustments for the rear upper link location. The upper caps are shared with the B6 and B64s design, with the same parts used both left and right. The upper cap design with a shorter washer stack reduces leverage on the outer ballstud, as well as increasing shock clearance for the turnbuckle. The hubs are available for the 67mm driveshaft setup in the B6.1 and B6.1D kits, they come in black or blue finish and they are also available as the B6.1 Carpet Hub Set, a black version which comes with -2mm upper caps and ballstuds specifically for carpet racing.

Coming soon from ProStar R/C is the centre brace kit for the Team Associated B64 and B64D buggies.

The rear top plate also allows compatibility to adjust the rear flex of the vehicle by using two support screws or if the driver wants more flex, a single support point. These options allow for countless possibilities of adjustment so drivers can find the proper traction on the race track. The custom diff gear cover is made from a high-tech aerospace additive manufactured carbon plastic while the carbon plates are available in red, black, crystal green, crystal Blue, and navy blue. The product will be available by special order around the week of March 16th.
