Schelle B64 Extreme shock tower set

Schelle Racing Innovations have introduced their new Extreme shock towers for the Team Associated B64 buggy. Machined from 4.0mm carbon fibre for stiffness and durability the front and rear tower have the unnecessary outer holes removed for less leverage to break while the front tower sports optional wing mount holes. The front wing is a great addition in high traction when using the less-agressive kit B64 body. Schelle’s testing has found that the JConcepts F2 body does not require a front wing, but the kit body will definitely benefit from it. In the rear, racers get a more durable tower, with new upper link options that improve handling. The kit outer row of holes are shifted 2.5mm towards the centreline, which lengthens the link and improves cornering balance. The inboard row of holes are shifted 2mm and only marked with a drill dimple, as they will be rarely used except for extreme traction conditions. The towers are usable on all B64 kits with standard 27.5 rear shock bodies, they come separately or as complete set with the optional 3-D-printed front wing mount being available separately.

RDRP B64 aluminium steering rack Type B

Revolution Design Racing Products have introduced their new aluminium steering rack Type B for the Team Associated B64 1/10th 4WD buggy. It is a direct replacement for the brittle standard composite part, machined from aircraft-grade 7075-T6 aluminium and it comes blue or black anodised. The increased overall rigidity will also help with steering emphasis, enhancing the steering feeling especially in high-bite track conditions. Compared to the standard AE or RDRP part, the optional Type B rack will make for improved steering feeling over the whole steering range without adding extra steering. RDRP’s team drivers comment: “The main feeling was that the steering has more feel. [And] half steering feels more like half steering”. The rack can be used with the standard or RDRP’s optional #0401 aluminium steering bellcrank set.
