Exotek B6.1 & XB2 CF LiPo holder sets

Coming from Exotek are new carbon fibre LiPo tabs and cups battery mounts for the Team Associated B6.1 and Xray XB2 series of vehicles. Both were specifically designed to allow quickly adjustable weight tuning while providing more natural chassis flex due to the “floating” battery mount with only two tabs touching the battery instead of a whole brace spanning from side to side. The sets are made of carbon fibre, the AE set scrubbing about 4.5g of weight while the Xray set is about 4g higher than stock and both include all needed hardware. The B6.1 set is usable for all B6.1-based kits such as the B6.1, T6.1 and SC6.1 as well as the older spec B6, while the Xray mounts can be used with all XB2 and XT2 series kits, however it is understood that JConcepts buggy bodies for the XB2 do not provide enough clearance for the tabs.
