Team Associated B6.2 & B6.2D Team Kit 2WD buggies

Team Associated have unveiled their new B6.2 and B6.2D Team Kit 2WD buggies. The B6 platform introduced the use of two separate chassis configurations and the new B6.2 continues this theme. The B6.2 will be the buggy of choice for high-grip carpet or turf track surfaces with its 3-gear Laydown transmission assembly and anti-roll bars for optimal mass balance. The B6.2D includes both 4-gear Layback and Laydown transmission assemblies to fine-tune mass balance to track conditions; add to that the addition of +1 Ackermann plates and gull wing suspension arms to tune the steering for razor-sharp feel and control. Both cars share many great features, such as an easy-access differential, outer rear hinge pins captured with bolt head and locknut for increased durability, new symmetric rear arms that can be flipped to allow an in- between rear shock mounting position, and a new slipper assembly. The setups and tuning parts remain interchangeable between the two configurations.
