Team Associated B64 Team Kit 1/10th 4WD buggy kit

Team Associated have introduced the B64 Team Kit 1/10th scale 4WD kit. Sharing the design as well as most features with the already released B64D buggy, the B64 is aimed towards racing on medium to high-bite surfaces, excelling on high-traction surfaces with the buggy’s adjustable axle height and roll centres result in a stable yet nimble platform. With a new and improved centre slipper using Low Coefficient Friction LCF pads, the B64 rewards the driver with maximum drive out of all four wheels on artificial turf and carpet surfaces. Other features include V2 12mm big bore shock absorbers, front and rear anti-roll bars, strengthened front and rear suspension with hard anodised caster blocks and carbon fibre shock towers as well as a Team Associated bodyshell and a JConcepts-made screw-on rear wing.
