Team Associated have introduced a range of new Factory Team option parts for the B64 range of 1/10th 4WD buggies. First up are aluminium rear hubs in blue or black colour. The uprights are of a symmetrical design, they allow for axle height adjustment and the vertical camber link ball stud mounting helps to achieve finer roller centre adjustments. Also new are +2 FT steering arm blocks. Laser-etched for easy identification, the parts add more Ackermann than the stock plates which results in smoother steering response. Last but not least comes the FT LRC arm mount B made of heavy brass material. A direct fit for the standard LRC arm mount B, the part adds weight to the front of the buggy, it lowers the centre of gravity and improves front end consistence through high speed corners.
