Exotek B6.3 black & blue bulkheads & mounts

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.

JConcepts S2 Cat L1 Evo buggy body shell

JConcepts’ S2 body line up has been expanded to include the Schumacher Cat L1 Evo 4wd buggy. Slammed overall height allows the S2 to whisk through the turns with a low centre of mass while the progressive cab design provides plenty of front-end force for superior balance and steering. A channeled roof directs the flow through the centre of the body while also increasing the rigidity of cockpit. The dual side-window design that has become famous on the JConcepts bodies remains to bring a traditional feel to the layout. The upper side-pods feature distinct vents used to help relieve hot air build-up inside the body for those high-powered runs or hot days at the track. Carved and detailed side-pods edge the body giving the highly aero unit a stylish look with a tight fit and finish. Included with the clear body shell come two S-Type wings as well as window masks and a decal sheet.

Exotek B6.3 black & blue anodised options

Exotek have released a number of new options for the Team Associated B6.3-B6.1, T6.1 and SC6.1 series. First up is this stealthy 2 colour anodised alloy steering rack sporting a customised polished black base with blue chamfered accents which goes great with the stock plastic parts or after market blue parts. And the alloy construction insures precise steering input and heavy duty long lasting performance. Also new, in the same style is this motor heatsink, that helps reduce your motor temps while the built in gear cover is stronger than the stock plastic cover to insure that the body does not press the cover onto the spur gear in hard tumbles. Also, the alloy material is kept in place around the motor and bolt screws to resist excess motor plate flex or bending but machined out elsewhere to reduce its weight to 11 grams each. Lastly, the backside spacers are machined into the plate to provide more secure mounting to the gearbox. Next up is a pair of steering cranks in the same style anodised black and blue, which are stronger than the stock plastic part and offer more precision. Finally are this pair of titanium front axles, which at only 4.5 grams per pair, are lightweight but also stronger than the stock alloy pieces. Rounded and angled hex profile makes wheel installation extra quick and easy.
