Schelle Racing Innovations B6 titanium upper screw set

Coming soon from Schelle Racing Innovations is an upper titanium screw set for the Team Associated B6 buggy. Made using Grade 5 6Al-4V material the screws offer a 40 percent weight advantage over conventional steel screws while being highly corrosion resistant at the same time. The set strategically removes the kit’s steel screws from up high above the chassis, which lowers the centre of gravity and improves handling while all chassis bottom screws are not included in this set.
