RDRP B6-series alloy steering rack & steering bellcranks

Coming from Revolution Design Racing Products are two aluminium steering option parts for the Team Associated B6 series of 2WD buggies. First up is the aluminium steering rack. Designed to replace the standard part with a more sturdy and durable item, the rack is machined from 7075-T6 aluminium and it comes black or blue anodised for wear and looks. On top of this does a machined silver edge detail let the part stand out while matching its visual appearance with the remainder of RDRP’s Team Associated series option parts. The steering rack is a direct replacement and used solely or in combination with RDRP’s aluminium steering bellcranks, it makes for improved steering response when running in high-bite track conditions.

Exotek ZX6.6 HD shock towers & B6 brass C arm mount

Coming from Exotek are new option parts for the Kyosho ZX6.6 and the Team Associated B6 buggies. Starting with the Kyosho parts, new are the heavy duty 5mm carbon fibre front and rear shock towers for the company’s current 1/10th 4WD buggy. Made of high-quality 5mm carbon fibre and weighing in 11g for the front and 13.4g for the rear shock tower, the parts add durability and overall rigidity by replacing the standard composite plastic shock towers. This results in a more consistent handling especially on high-grip tracks. Both towers are cut from glossy finish carbon fibre and they are available separately.

JConcepts B64-series chassis protective sheets

Coming from JConcepts and made for the Team Associated B64 series of buggies are chassis protective decals. Pre-cut for a perfect fit the hard-wearing stickers protect the chassis bottom from becoming excessively scratched and damaged when running on abrasive surfaces. The application is slightly different on the B64 vehicle because of the low ground clearance and suspension design of the buggy. JConcepts made modifications to the sheet to help some peeling and tearing back of the corners of the material at the front edges of the chassis. This exposes chassis in this area but allows sheet to live another day on abrasive and surfaces constantly pulling against the sheet. Included in the package are two stickers and additional rear “skid plates”.

T-Works have introduced new spring pre-load nuts for Team Associated’s 6th generation off-road vehicles such as the B6 and B64. Machined from high-quality aluminium and sporting a heavy knurling, the nuts allow for convenient spring pre-load adjustment while white markings make for easy setting recognition. Each nut is also clearly marked, meaning left and right hand shocks get not mixed up. The pre-load nuts come in sets of four and in blue or black anodising.

JConcepts B6 3-gear laydown honeycomb motor plate

Made for all Team Associated B6 vehicles with 3-gear laydown transmission is JConcepts’ new shielded honeycomb motor plate. The design of the plate makes the part both lightweight and very rigid in multiple directions, resulting in extraordinary toughness while, as a new feature, the motor plate has a built-in spur gear shield to add gear and ultimately body protection during crashes, landings and normal wear and tear. The honeycomb feature adds a 3D look especially as they remain natural aluminium while the rest is available blue or black anodised colours. Slight chamfering on the 3mm thickness material allows the rather beefy plate to look quite slim and trim.
