Schelle Racing Innovations B64 rear top deck

Coming from Schelle Racing Innovations is the rear top deck for the Team Associated B64 buggy. The part is the perfect complement to Schelle’s popular front top deck. Connecting the rear gearbox with the motor mount allows for increase bending strength as well as reduced chassis flex in cornering. When installed, racers will notice an immediate increase in corner speed, as the rear end of the buggy will now follow lock-step with the front end. The part is machined from 2.5mm carbon fibre and comes including a 3-D-printed plastic rear top deck mount and a 3-D-printed plastic battery stop.

Exotek TLR 22 & B6/B64 titanium driveshaft accessories

Exotek have released a range of titanium driveshaft accessories for the TLR 22 and Team Associated B6/B64 buggies. First up are lightweight Ti6 titanium rear axle shafts for the TLR 22 series of cars.

They are best suited for stock classes for reduced rotational mass and weight needed in the hot 17.5 classes as they are not suggested for modified use. The axles work with the stock or MIP bones.
