Team Associated RC10B64D Team Kit

It’s finally here, designed to take advantage of today’s faster-than-ever tracks, the long awaited RC10B64D Team Kit from Team Associated offers increased durability, all new suspension geometry, a wider tuning window, improved weight distribution, and easy maintenance. Excelling on high-traction surfaces, the B64D’s adjustable axle height and roll centres result in a stable yet nimble platform. With a new and improved centre differential, the B64D rewards the driver with maximum drive out of all four wheels on dirt and clay surfaces.

Schelle B6 Strap X Plate

New from Schelle, the B6 Strap X Plate adapts on top of the popular Schelle B6 carbon battery strap. Using the same 4 attachment screws for the battery stop posts, the X brace creates a stable platform to replace the standard plastic “waterfall” chassis brace with a single tie-rod. A tie-rod style brace has a pivot on each end, instead of the kit part which has only a single pivot. For certain conditions, adding flex in the centre of the chassis can improve both traction and steering through the turns. The general driving feel you’ll have when switching from the plastic waterfall part to a chassis tie-rod is that you will have more rear grip and a less aggressive turn in. Mid corner to exit, the car tends to feel like the rear end rotates and follows the front end through the turn but usually without breaking traction.

RDRP B6 titanium shock mount set

Revolution Design Racing Products have introduced the titanium shock mount set for the Team Associated B6-series of buggies. A direct replacement for the standard multi-piece shock mounts, the parts are made from a single piece of high-quality Grade 5 titanium and do away with the standard multi-piece design that consists of screws and upper shock mount bushings. The 1-piece design of the shock mounts allows for easy suspension setting changes as they only require to undo the rear lock nut to alter the shock angle while the lightweight yet sturdy material saves weight compared to the stock parts – ideal for stock class weight saving fanatics and everyone who is looking for a lighter buggy.

Exotek B6 and B6D option parts

From Exotek for the Associated B6 and B6D come a number of optional items. First up is the 7075 heavy duty one-piece rear camber mount/bulkhead, its one-piece design meaning easier transmission removal because the camber links now stay in place and much more durability for reduced chances of tweaked camber or bent roll centre mounting. All machined alloy threads means secure mounting and no stripped nylon threads, it is polished and available in anodized factory blue or black. Next up are titanium quick change shock post sets for the front and rear of the buggy. Using Ti 6-4 titanium for durability and lightweight, each post weighing 2grams, its +1mm length for the shock tower thread enables it to accept after market thicker shock towers. Finally there are lightweight yet heavy duty titanium replacement bones for the B6 and B6D MIP Bi-Metal Bone Puck sets with ball diff. Half the weight of steel and twice the strength of aluminium equals a lightweight drive line with increased durability and reduced wear and tear. +1mm length for proper diff end fit without the need of the MIP spacers at the axle means the wheel hexes do not bind up when the wheels are tightened down.

JConcepts RC8B3 & RC8B3e carbon options

More new carbon fibre optionals from JConcepts for Associated vehicles, this time for the popular RC8B3 & RC8B3e. New front and rear shock towers are made from lightweight, yet durable, 5mm thick carbon fibre and features all the stock mounting geometry in a more compact package. Reinforcement ribs have been added where needed for additional strength. For the front of the car there are new 3mm thick carbon steering arms. The design team has pin-pointed the exact geometry locations of the steering arms and created them in the durable and light-weight material. The items are symmetric in design layout but countersunk on the top and can be neatly installed with the standard kit hardware. Finally, the team at JConcepts has added a rigid carbon fibre steering rack, which is countersunk for the standard kit screws and includes 5 separate holes for ackermann adjustment. The rack weighs in at ~3.25 grams and comes packaged in a re-sealable bag for authenticity.
