JConcepts Illuzion B6-series body shell

JConcepts have introduced the Illuzion body shell for the Team Associated B6 series of 1/10th 2WD buggies. A common sight in the early to mid-2000’s, the Illuzion sports a classic “cab rearward” design, setting itself apart from today’s breed of cab forward body shells. JConcept’s own Jason Ruona qualified 5th at the 2003 IFMAR World Championships with the prototype Illuzion style body while Ryan Cavalieri drove the Illuzion to TQ during the 2005 IFMAR World Championships. Lastly Hayato Matsuzaki won the 2007 IFMAR World Championships with the Illuzion style body that is now also available for all B6 and B6D owners.

Team Associated B64 FT adjustable CF bellcrank arm

Team Associated have introduced the Factory Team adjustable graphite bellcrank arm for the B64 line of 1/10th 4WD buggies. Using the arm adds more steering options to the buggy as moving the ball stud into different hole locations allows the driver to adjust the rate of the steering rack. The forward hole has the quickest, most responsive steering feel while the middle hole is stock ball stud location. Rear hole will be less responsive, giving the numbest feel, by slowing down the steering rack rate. The arm is machined from high-quality graphite laminate and it is a direct replacement for the stock arm.

RDRP B6 aluminium rear gearbox brace

Revolution Design Racing Products have added another new Team Associated B6-related option part to their growing portfolio in the form of the new aluminium rear gearbox brace. The part adds much needed precision and durability to the rear section of Team Associated’s 6th generation 2WD vehicles. Replacing the standard composite part with an ultra-precise and more durable alloy part helps to get that peace of mind when the going gets tough on the track. Both the gearbox and anti-roll bar mounting threads will not strip as easily as the original composite material does, while the rigid construction adds additional strength to the rear section of the vehicle. Available in black or blue anodising and coming with silver edge details the gearbox brace also looks the part. The part fits both the B6 and B6D kits.

Schelle B6 2mm carbon fibre gearbox shims

Schelle Racing Innovations’ 2mm carbon fibre gearbox shim set helps to raise the gearbox of the Team Associated B6 when racing on high-grip carpet or astro turf. Doing so will reduce driveshaft angles, making them more level, which results in an easier to drive car on high-grip surfaces. The set includes four 2mm shims that raise the laydown gearbox and Schelle recommend to use their laydown motor plate to lower the motor back down to the chassis while also using long shock ends for 2mm of added shock droop.
