Coming soon from Schelle Racing Innovations is a 3.5mm carbon fibre motor plate for Team Associated’s B6.1-based vehicles. The laydown motor plate was tested at the OCRC Stock Nationals and won the 40+ class. Schelle took the motor plate up to 3.5mm thick, with a clearance cut for the slipper clutch, so that it would hold the motor rigid while still shaving weight off the chassis. The plate scrubs over three grams of weight and it fits the Layback and Laydown Gearboxes of the B6.1, B6.1D, T6.1, and SC6.1. The plate is available for pre-order now and will become available in early August.
