Included, beside the plate and bearings, are also two 25mm button head screws to replace the existing countersunk fasteners.

JConcepts 6.1 motor plate & rear ballstud mount

JConcepts have introduced two new option parts for Team Associated’s 6.1 version off-road kits. First up is a 3-gear laydown/layback motor plate that incorporates a honeycomb milling affect with placement more suited to surrounding geometry making the plate light-weight and very rigid in multiple directions. The honeycomb features add a 3D look featuring the natural aluminium while the rest is available blue or black anodised colours. The motor plate is compatible with the Team Associated B6.1 spur gear guard and remains light of weight. Slight chamfering on the 3mm thickness material allows the rather beefy plate to look quite slim and trim. The plate is usable with the B6.1, B6.1D, T6.1 and SC6.1.

Leadfinger Racing B64D A2 Tactic body shell

Leadfinger Racing brings an all-new look to the popular Team Associated 1/10 scale B64D wheeler with the introduction of the A2 Tactic body shell. The new lid is influenced by racer request from the previous 1/8 designs, giving it an aggressive and sleek style. To bring back a little old school, the windshield has been laid down to remove the steep rake, while at the same time keeping a modern cab forward feel. The combo gives the B64D a super slick and fast look right up front. The top of the cab has an added roof vent for superior cooling that pushes air flow over the centre diff and motor, further enhancing it’s one of a kind style. To help keep everything planted, the rear of the cab has the traditional swoop along with added down force ailerons on the top of the side pods. The body comes in clear with window masks and stickers provided and also including two LFR Tactic wings.
