JConcepts B6-series aluminium servo mount bracket

JConcepts have introduced an aluminium servo mount bracket for the Team AssociatedB6 and B6D vehicles. Constructed of billet aluminium and available in either blue or black colours, the mount fits snug inside the chassis servo mounting area increasing the support across while the two screw mounting locations are beefy in design and zeroed in for a direct mount to the chassis. Additionally the bracket has locations on each side for included 3x6mm set screws to help align and maintain the servo’s position during racing conditions, crashes and hard hits. The set screws are intended to touch-off against the servo case and provide additional support keeping the servo in the intended position which helps maintain consistent steering trim. The servo mount bracket can be installed in B6 vehicles without any modifications or additional equipment.

BMT 984 low-friction pulley set & long ball cups

Italian company BMT have new optional parts for the 984 1/8th on-road car available. First up is a low-friction belt pulley set that uses a newly formulated composite material which creates a super-smooth surface for a more efficient drivetrain and overall upped performance. As the material is softer than the standard parts the wear rate is slightly higher. Included in the set are all drivetrain pulleys including the front spool and rear axle parts. Also new for the 984 is a set of extra long ball cups that come in handy when building longer rear shocks which can be helpful in certain track conditions.

JConcepts B6-series Elephant Trunk style waterfall

Another 3-D-printed part has been added to JConcepts’s Shapeways store in the form of the Elephant Trunk style waterfall for the Team Associated B6 and B6D. Designed for B6-series owners using a laydown transmission, the Elephant Trunk style waterfall replaces the stock unit and is more flexible than the stock piece. The part uses a single column support which promotes flex characteristics giving traction gains associated with these types of adjustments. The mount splits at the bottom to attach using the stock B6 hardware and uses the same pivot ball at the top making it a snap to install. The Elephant Trunk waterfall has already shown success in the hands of Alex Kosciuszek during the JConcepts Indoor National finals event by running the single fastest qualifying run over 5 minutes and it is available through JConcept’s Shapeways store here.

RDRP B6-series brass electronics mounting plate

Coming from RDRP and made for the Team Associated B6 series of 2WD buggies is the brass electronics mounting plate. The 2mm plate is 0.5mm thicker and at 53g about 17g heavier than Team Associated’s own steel plate set while being designed to be a drop fit for the chassis’ machined pocket behind the steering servo. Using it allows to easily remove the speed controller and receiver from the car for cleaning and maintenance purposes while also adding weight to the buggy when running lightweight LCG battery packs. On top of this the black and golden design improves visual impact and the chamfered golden edges make for a smoother chassis-to-plate transition for further improved looks and functionality. The mounting plate fits both the B6 and B6D and it comes including suitable mounting hardware.
