ProTek B6.2 & universal chassis protectors

Coming from ProTek are chassis protector sheets for the Team Associated B6.2 and B6.2D buggies as well as a new universal sheet sporting the USA flag. First up is a “thick” pre-cut chassis protective sheet, designed specifically for the Team Associated B6.2 +3mm chassis. It is made from 12mil laminate and backed by an aggressive adhesive vinyl. Each sheet is cut to exact dimensions of the model, and provides a professional look while helping to protect the chassis. Protective sheets are highly recommended for both new and used chassis to resist against scratches and scrapes and prolong the life of the chassis. In addition to protecting the chassis, the stickers provide a slick and smooth chassis surface which helps reduce friction when contacting the race surface. Usable for the standard wheelbase B6.2D is the older spec B6.1 and B6.1D protective sheet that is also available now.
