Schelle B6.1 Extreme battery strap fan mount

New from Schelle Racing Innovations is the Extreme battery strap fan mount for the Team Associated B6.1 and B6 buggies. It allows to run a 30mm cooling fan in a secure location that will clear the body and blow directly onto the motor can and winding. With the new gearbox design, racers scrambled for a cooling fan location that can blow on the motor to keep the temps in check and the performance consistent. Utilising the optional centre pivot mount holes on the Schelle Extreme carbon battery strap, a 30mm fan can sit inside the cab of the body, clear the motor wiring, and blow directly onto the motor. The 3-D-printed item is usable for the B6.1, T6.1 and SC6.1 and it adapts the the older B6 buggy lineup as well.
