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.

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”.
