Team Associated B6 laydown transmission conversion

Team Associated have introduced the laydown transmission conversion set for the B6D 2WD buggy. Including everything needed to convert the B6D from a standup configuration to laydown, the set comes with new gearbox halves, blue anodised motor plate, idler gear and gearbox brace. The laydown transmission will lower the vehicle’s overall centre of gravity, reducing polar moment and thus increasing corner speed in higher grip conditions.

Xray XB2 brass rear lower suspension mounts

Coming from Xray and made for the XB2 2WD off-road buggy are the RF and RR lower suspension mounts machined from heavy brass material. The parts match the standard kit geometry and are usable with the I.S.S. suspension inserts for quick and easy set-up changes. Due to being heavier than the standard alloy parts the hangers improve stability and traction on lower grip surfaces. The mounts are available separately as RF and RR variants.

Axon silicone shock & differential O-rings

Japanese company Axon have introduced new silicone shock and differential O-rings for a range of vehicles. The P3-size shock and P5-size differential O-ring seals are made using a special silicone material that is less prone to swell under the influence of silicone fluids while also making for exceptional sealing, greatly reducing leaking issues. On top of this the silicone rubber reduces the friction between the shafts and the rings, making for a softer break-away and overall smoother damper and diff action. The P3 shock seals are available as soft and medium hardness variant in 8-piece packs while the P5 diff seal comes in 2-piece packs.
