Fenix Racing Associated F6 option parts

New from Fenix Racing, for the Associated F6, comes a full set of 7075 aluminium option parts. The new chassis weighs in at just 84 grams and sports some important features such as the ability to use straight or angled links and a more slim profile of the outer “wing” sections to further reducing scrubbing during cornering. One of the more interesting new parts is the caster adjuster, that allows you to change caster in a matter of second without having to find the right insert. To complete the set there is a 2mm thick 7075 motor pod.

Rusti Design B64 differential oil stickers

French brand Rusti Design has introduced a set of differential oil stickers for the Team Associated B64 buggy. Designed to take the guesswork out of tuning and maintaining the buggy’s gear differentials the stickers fit snuggly into the recesses of the diff gear where they are kept safe and secure, reminding on the fluid viscosity inside. The set includes four each of the most used oil viscosities, some blank stickers for custom oils and the stockers are also usable for a range of other cars and brands.

JB Carbon B6 split 3-gear laydown gearbox

Coming soon from JB Carbon is a split 3-gear laydown gearbox for the Team Associated B6. The split design will make diff tuning and maintenance quick and easy as by undoing only a couple of screws the top and bottom part of the gearbox are easily separated, allowing access to the differential without the need to tear the whole rear end apart. The conversion will become available soon.

Schelle B6 67mm aluminium light CVA driveshafts

Available now are Schelle Racing Innovations’ new 67mm aluminium light CVA driveshafts for the Team Associated B6 series of vehicles. They make for a “long dogbone” setup that moves through the range of suspension travel with less angle misalignment. This translates to less bind on power and more rear grip as the suspension works under load instead of locking out due to the drivetrain. The set includes new custom machined drive pins that will not shift in the softer aluminium material.

RPM B6-series rear bumper & skid plate

RPM have introduced a rear bumper and skid plate for the Team Associated B6 and B6D buggies. Weighing in at only 5.5g the part hardly adds any weight but it is 52mm wide and extends rearward by roughly 32mm at a 45 degree angle for added rear bulkhead, A-arms and differential protection. Additionally it sits 2.4mm beneath the chassis. This skid area of the bumper lends extreme skid resistance to the back of that expensive aluminium chassis and helps reduce skid and impact damage to the rear of the buggy.

Coming from Team Associated and made for the RC8B3 series of off-road vehicles is the Factory Team rigid engine mount. Using the part will reduce chassis flex and extend clutch bell and spur gear life as it restricts the clutch bell and spur gear area from flexing, saving tooth wear and ensuring more consistent power delivery. The part is machined from blue anodised aluminium and it comes including an aluminium fuel tank standoff and mounting hardware.

RDRP B6-series C & D aluminium arm mounts

Revolution Design Racing Products have introduced their new C and D aluminium arm mounts for the Team Associated B6 and B6D 2WD buggies. The suspension hangers are direct replacements for the kit’s aluminium C and composite D parts and they add valuable toughness especially when running in demanding track conditions or when competing in modified classes. Machined from aircraft-grade 7075-T6 aluminium and coming in either black or blue anodising the parts also add visual impact. With their lightweight yet sturdy construction the mounts, which are available separately, hardly add any weight meaning the buggy’s weight bias does not change and they are a direct fit on both the B6 and B6D when using Team Associated’s #92014 suspension inserts.
