From Exotek for the Associated B6 and B6D come a number of optional items. First up is the 7075 heavy duty one-piece rear camber mount/bulkhead, its one-piece design meaning easier transmission removal because the camber links now stay in place and much more durability for reduced chances of tweaked camber or bent roll centre mounting. All machined alloy threads means secure mounting and no stripped nylon threads, it is polished and available in anodized factory blue or black. Next up are titanium quick change shock post sets for the front and rear of the buggy. Using Ti 6-4 titanium for durability and lightweight, each post weighing 2grams, its +1mm length for the shock tower thread enables it to accept after market thicker shock towers. Finally there are lightweight yet heavy duty titanium replacement bones for the B6 and B6D MIP Bi-Metal Bone Puck sets with ball diff. Half the weight of steel and twice the strength of aluminium equals a lightweight drive line with increased durability and reduced wear and tear. +1mm length for proper diff end fit without the need of the MIP spacers at the axle means the wheel hexes do not bind up when the wheels are tightened down.

New from Serpent for the Spyder SRX2 MH is this optional 2mm carbon fibre chassis. The carbon chassis can replace the hard coated aluminium chassis, as the alu kick-up is separate from the main chassis and the carbon chassis fits without any further modifications. The standard side guards also fit right on and it works with all 4 transmissions. The carbon chassis is lighter and has more flex, which may help handling on higher traction surfaces.

Made from high quality aluminium, they come in three different colour, sport the Samix logo etched into the product, and help improve the rigidity and durability over the stock part while also eliminating flex of the lower shock mount.
