Schelle Racing Innovations have introduced a laydown transmission spur guard for the older spec Team Associated B6 buggies. The 3-D-printed part works with the kit B6 laydown motor plate and stops body rubs by keeping the body away from the spur gear. Strategic mount screw locations let drivers remove the spur guard without disassembling the car.
