More new black and blue anodised options for the Associated B6.3 from Exotek Racing. First up is the heavy duty 7075 alloy front camber mount that has been intricately machined to reduce its weight to only 15 grams, only 4 more than stock, while insuring its heavy duty construction. Also up front is the 10 gram bulkhead that has 2 settings for kick up 25° and 30°, depending on which direction it’s mounted. The customised polished black base with blue chamfered accents goes great with your stock plastic parts or after market blue parts. At the rear there is the 7075 alloy rear ball stud mount and alloy wing mounts which are extra durable, but machined to be lightweight (10gr total) and use the stock wing spacer and hardware to mount your wing. For the transmission of the car there is a new lightweight polished titanium slipper bolt that is almost half the weight of the stock bolt at 2.2 grams. This titanium bolt lightens your rotating mass and lowers your CG and is a direct fit on the stock laydown top shaft and slipper and uses the stock slipper pin and hardware.
