Leadfinger Racing B6.1 A2 Tactic body shell

Leadfinger Racing’s popular A2 Tactic body shell is now also available in a variant for the Team Associated B6.1 buggy. Working with key features from their previous line of 1/8th scale bodies, and transferring ideas to the 2WD platform, yields a product that LFR customers have been waiting for. Like the A2 Tactic bodies before it, the B6.1 body has an added roof vent that allows for better cooling for today’s sensitive electronics. Running cooler has it’s advantages and feeding cool air directly over the power house is a welcomed upgrade. Behind that, LFR has designed a top fin that joins into a rear swoop for added stability and increased rear down force. The combination of the two help give the Team associated B6.1 a balanced and precise feel during mid corner rotation and on power exit.
