Schelle B5 series alloy topshaft & ceramic bearings
Schelle Racing Innovations have new option parts for the Team Associated B5 and B5M available in the form of an aluminium topshaft and ceramic transmission bearing sets. Starting with the topshaft, the lightweight part is precision machined for improved efficiency and a quieter running gearbox. Weighting in at only 4.8g it scrubs around 9.1g of rotation mass compared to the stock part for quicker spool-up and improved braking performance. The shaft is machined from high-quality 7075 aluminium and fits both the B5 and B5M.
Also new are the Black Diamond Series ceramic gearbox bearing sets. The ceramic hybrid ball bearings are manufactured to ABEC-3 standards, lubed with a premium bearing oil and are metal-shielded for reduced drag. The sets are currently available for the Team Associated B5, the B5M and as a universal set for the RB6, 22 2.0 and the B-Max2 MR.
