Team Associated B6.1 Factory Lite 2WD buggy kit
Coming soon from Team Associated is the B6.1 Factory Lite 2WD buggy kit, a lightweight variant of the popular B6.1 specially aimed at stock racing classes. Shedding over 45 grams of weight from the original B6.1D, the Factory Lite was designed to excel in classes requiring Spec motors, allowing the racer to take full advantage of the performance offered by the reduced weight. The Factory Lite sheds 30 of the 45 grams in rotational mass alone. Parts used to achieve the weight savings include the MIP PucksT system, MIP Pucks 7075-T6 aluminium outdrives, MIP Pucks Bi-Metal lightweight R-CVD bones (67mm), Factory Team direct drive system, and a lightweight body. All other features here taken over from the B6.1 kit, meaning full parts compatibility. The Factory Lite kit is set for a release in late September.
