T-Works B6/B64 aluminium spring pre-load nuts

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.

Schelle B64 carbon fibre rear gearbox shims

Schelle Racing Innovations have introduced a carbon fibre gearbox shim set for the Team Associated B64 buggy. Made from 1mm sheet material the shims are used separately or even stacked to raise the rear gearbox and suspension mounts as a tuning option for certain track conditions. Raising the assembly can lead to a more responsive rear end and more entry and mid-corner steering. Strategic cut-outs prevent backwards differential installation and the shims only work on the rear suspension.

RDRP B6 Titanium Lower Shock Screw Set

Revolution Design Racing Products have introduced a Titanium lower shock screw set for the Team Associated B6 and B6D buggies. It includes four lower shock mount screws made from high-quality titanium. The fasteners do away with the standard steel screws and they are of a unique design that only sports threaded sections where they are needed, while areas to which the lower shock eyelet bushings attach are of a plain design for improved durability and precision. The screw heads are also unique in the way that they feature dual 2mm and 5.5mm hex sections that allow to use 2mm hex or 5.5mm nut drivers to fasten or loosen the screws. Included in the set are two front and two rear shock mounting screws.

Rusti Design B6-series carbon fibre option parts

Rusti Design from France have introduced their new range of carbon fibre option parts for the Team Associated B6 series of buggies. Available now are 4mm gullwing and flat front as well as standard and long rear shock towers all of which match the standard suspension geometry. They feature an updated overall design though, making them stand out from the kit parts. Next up is a 1mm front bulkhead shim to lower the suspension mounts for improved steering while a +2mm rear gearbox shim set has been designed to raise the gearbox and shock tower block with an additional shim being provided for the specific laydown gearbox. Using the parts helps to maintain low driveshaft angles while lowering the chassis which can help avoid traction rolling on high-bite surfaces.

Team Associated RC8B3.1 nitro & electric kits

Team Associated have introduced the new RC8B3.1 nitro and electric 1/8th scale buggy kits. Both built on the proven third generation RC8 platform and feature new H.T.C. High Torque Capacity differentials with increased fluid capacity and a more consistent feel even in long mains. Precision CVA drive shafts are included front and rear to keep suspension travel free through the entire stroke, and the suspension and drive-train package is bolted to a hard-anodised 7075-T6 aluminium chassis designed for optimum weight distribution, ground clearance, and better overall handling. As a result, the RC8B3.1 Team Kits changes directions faster, and are more compliant and stable in rough terrain. Part of the new RC8B3.1’s package is also an all-new, easy-to-maintain, 4-shoe clutch.
