RDRP B6 aluminium front bulkhead

Revolution Design Racing Products’ aluminium front bulkhead for the Team Associated B6 series of 2WD buggies was designed to replace the standard part with a more sturdy and durable item. The bulkhead comes machined from aircraft-grade 7075-T6 aluminium and its directional design allows to run 25 degree or 30 degree kick-up angle while the anodised surface and silver edge details add visual impact. The aluminium part adds rigidity and precision when the point gets tough and when racing on high-bite surfaces. The part fits both the B6 and B6D and it is available in black or blue anodising.

MIP No.1.5 & No.1 Pucks rebuild kit

MIP No.1.5 Pucks are a direct update for those users that find No.1 Pucks screws are coming in contact with the aluminium outdrives over time. By switching over to the taller No.1.5 Pucks it will effectively eliminate the chance of the capturing screw head coming in contact with the outdrive face during wear or articulation, since the screw head is now up and out of the way. And being that the No.1.5 Pucks is taller there is now more surface area for the system to spread load, which will improve overall wear. No.1 Pucks and pins will always be usable in a bind but MIP recommend the use of No.1.5 Pucks. They are also a direct replacement for the front and rear diff assembly of the recently introduced MIP B64 13.5 performance bundle package. Also available as a rebuild kit are the No.1 Pucks that are used for the B64 centre diff assembly.

Team Associated B6 FT ESC plate & rear hub inserts

Team Associated have introduced a Factory Team carbon fibre ESC plate for the B6 and B6D buggies as well as Factory Team rear hub link inserts for all B6 and B64 vehicles. Starting with the electronics plate, the part is a lightweight option that provides for easy installation and removal of the electronics for easy chassis cleanup. The part is made from 1.5mm high-quality carbon fibre and features blue anodised nut inserts. It weighs in at only 7.5g and is usable with both the B6 and B6D 2WD buggies.

RDRP B6-series electronic chassis plate

Coming from Revolution Design Racing Products and made for the Team Associated B6-series of buggies is an aluminium chassis insert called electronic chassis plate. The part was designed to be a drop fit for the chassis’ machined pocket behind the steering servo and using it allows to easily remove the speed controller and receiver from the car for cleaning and maintenance purposes. 0.75mm thick and weighing in at only 7g the plate hardly adds any additional weight to the car meaning the buggy’s weight bias remains pretty much the same compared to thicker alloy or even brass parts. The machined pocket also keeps the electronics such as speed controller and receiver very low in the chassis for a low overall centre of gravity. The mounting plate fits both the B6 and B6D, it comes including suitable mounting hardware and in blue or black anodising.

MIP B64 Puck drive system & 22-4 alloy race shaft set

Coming from MIP are new option parts for the Team Associated B64 and the TLR 22-4 2.0 buggies. Starting with the B64 part, the new 13.5 aluminium Puck drive system sheds about 50 percent or 36 grams of rotational mass when compared to the OEM drivetrain. The puck system is only to be used in 13.5 and lower turn classes with gear diffs only. The set includes front and rear Bi-Metal R-CVD dogbones for the front, rear and centre as well as outdrives, diff cross pins, the Puck assemblies and small parts. As for the TLR 22-4 2.0 specific part, the MIP 13.5 Race Shaft set sheds nearly 10 grams or 60 percent rotational mass from the two layshafts. Both of these systems will increase acceleration, shed grams, and decrease motor fatigue throughout the run.

RDRP B6-series aluminium wing mount set

Coming from Revolution Design Racing Products is new aluminium wing mount set for the Team Associated B6 and B6D buggies. The wing mounts are machined from high-quality 7075-T6 aluminium for improved rigidity and durability while the overall design, anodised surface and silver edge details make for visual impact. A connecting carbon fibre plate was machined at an angle, allowing to adjust the rear wing angle in order to further fine-tune aerodynamic downforce. On top of this does the large surface carbon plate let the wing rest on a more sturdy base than common wing mounts, prolonging the wing’s life while also optimising overall downforce. The wing mounts are available in black or blue anodising.

Avid B64 carbon bellcrank arm & steering block arms

Available now from Avid are two new carbon fibre option parts for the Team Associated D64 series of buggies. First up is a carbon fibre bellcrank arm that was designed to replace the standard aluminium part with a lighter and cooler looking item. The arm is cut from high-quality 2.5mm material and it maintains the kit geometry. Also new are the carbon fibre steering block arms. Again cut from 2.5mm carbon material the arms are designed to match the kit geometry and they add visual impact by doing away with the black-coated kit parts.
