Schelle D413 +4mm alloy chassis & B5M C-mount

Schelle Racing Innovations have new option parts for the HB D413 and the Team Associated B5M buggy available. Starting with the aluminium stretch chassis, the +4mm longer wheelbase gives the car a longer footprint, reducing the pitching weight transfer that can cause the car to “3 wheel” and pick up a rear tyre in the turns. Also in the air, the car with the longer chassis is less sensitive and the car is also meant to be easier to control and drive hard without getting upset on braking, turn-in, or corner exit. Also, at 153g total weight the added 53g of weight and stiffness created by the alloy material stabilise the car on high grip. The chassis is recommended for indoor astro, carpet, and high-grip clay and the set includes the 2.5mm 7075 chassis, front top deck, instructions, chassis protector, O-ring dogbone spacers, and a Schelle mini decal.

The Schelle B5M steel C mount is specifically developed to add more rear grip to Team Associated fifth generation buggies or trucks without having the “pendulum” effect. The part is best used with 3-gear transmission equipped B5M Factory Lite, T5M, or SC5M kits. The steel C mount weighs 15g and adds an additional 10g of weight compared to an aluminium mount. On the track, the 3-gear transmission naturally stabilizes the car because of the motor orientation, but it can suffer from a lack of rear grip on-power and through the turns. The added weight combats this weakness by adding weight directly in between the motor and gearbox, in front of the axle.
