Schelle B64 short wheelbase arms & B6.1 Ti screws

Schelle have introduced new optional parts for the Team Associated B64 and B6.1 in the form of short B64 rear arms and a titanium upper screw kit for the B6.1. Starting with the rear arms, these are already part of Schelle short wheelbase kit for the B64 with the modified wishbones offering a 2mm shorter wheelbase which is a popular mod for racing on lower traction surfaces as the reduced wheelbase will generate greater rear traction. The arms are available as standard or hard composite items. Coming soon is also a 55-piece Grade 5 titanium screw kit for the Team Associated B6.1 and B6.1D. Saving 15g in the upper regions of the buggy, the set will not only reduce overall weight but also lower the overall centre of gravity which can be beneficial especially in high-bite racing conditions. The set includes 12mm wing mount hardware with optional 20mm screws being available separately.
